Lennon keeps harping on about not wanting to change too much. But he's actually made a fundamental change to our system.
He's asking Forrest and Hayes to provide width and get crosses into the box. Rodgers preferred his wingers to come inside and link up with the lone striker.
Eduard isn't suited to how Lennon has us playing.
Ye only need 4 points out of those 9 so I wouldn’t stress too much
And at the risk of repeating myself Ntcham can feck off. We wouldo be a better side with young Henderson in it than Ntcham.
I'm not a Lennon can but in fairness in fed up with him being blamed for the current situation.
Rodgers got us here, not Lennon and the idea that we've suddenly gone down hill is just nonsense perpetrated mainly by people who don't actually watch games.
Lennon has got us a win and a draw at Easter road. How did the messiah get on there?
As for the we've had late winners and they've had a poor spell patter....that's how most leagues get won most years.
We've had nearly two years of performances like yesterday. Don't lay that at Lennon's door.
Having said that, he's not without blame and needs to bin lustig, cham and Sinclair for the rest of the season.

Killie have half their team suspended for next weekend and of course mulumbu can’t play so there should be no real problem there.
The league was never in real doubt this season. It would have been an absolute miracle if we had mustered up a serious challenge given where we were 12 months ago.
Finishing clear second within 10 points of Celtic was always my definition of significant progress in the league this year. And it looks like that might not be impossible.
Celtic achieved something special in Brendan’s first season. That was the anomaly. The past two seasons cannot be judged against Brendan’s first - that is unrealistic.
Yes Celtic have still won trophies but the manner in which it has been achieved has changed dramatically.
There’s a wee bit of light at the end of the tunnel for Gers fans imo

Celtic have scored just seven goals in the last seven league games, if it's not Lennon's fault then whos fault is it?
The performances bar the semi have been rank, and that is all Lennon.

The performances are at about the same level as they have been for 18 months. Especially away from home.
As for the lack of goals, I'm not sure what Lennon could have done to prevent Brendan messing up the dembele or Griffiths situation. Or, in general, to maker Brendan sort out the right back disaster or not to overpay KT to the extent that he did.
Like i say, I'm not a Lennon fan but I can't understand the people who were quite happy with turgid garbage under Rodgers but are now up in arms about Lennon serving up the same rubbish.
A win on Saturday practically seals it ffs
Yesterday was dire.
Sinclair on is enough to ensure Lennon should not get the job. Weah done more in 8 minutes yesterday than Sinclair has for 6 months.
Izzy was actually embarrassing yesterday.
In saying all of that, we still should have won. 3 glorious chances and their keeper has also had about 3 or 4 top saves.

Seven goals in seven games says different.

7 goals in 7 league games and 2 0-0 draws in a row are unacceptable to be honest but as ever, we’re still just a few games away from a treble so I’m trying my hardest not to go overboard with criticism.
Aye I’ve not got much concerns with the final either.
It’s dissapointing we can’t actually win it on Saturday but it still effectively does kill it.

Yeah it’s on Sky mate.
Win on Saturday then Rangers need to beat Aberdeen on Sunday or it’s done.
Stevie Clark or Rafa Benitez for the next Celtic manager hopefully.

No. It really doesn't. The performance were rubbish and remain rubbish. The goals are irrelevant....just a few good saves and a few missed chances.

Goals are irrelevant?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes..in the sense of comparing the performances under the two managers. This seven goals in seven games thing is getting trotted out..it could easily have happened under Rodgers..just lucky that it didn't.
Goals are irrelevant in analysing the performance of the team. Tgats actually well accepted in most circles nowadays...hence all the work around expected goals, etc.
Would almost certainly gave happened to Rodgers if he hadn't had dembele and Griffiths.
I do get Mags point that performances haven’t exactly been terrific under Rodgers for a year or so but I also think lennon is making it harder than it needs to be.
He’s made some absolutely baffling team selections, substitutions and tactical changes.
I just want this season done and dusted.

Agreed on Lennon....just don't understand why some seem to find rubbish performances to be acceptable before but not now.
Btw...he has been extremely unlucky with injuries and other issues inherited from Rodgers. Tierney, Boyata, Rogic, Christie, Griffiths....all missing in only a few weeks.
KT won’t play again this season, just let him rest for 2 months and he’ll hopefully be back to his best.
I don’t think the board can or will appoint Lennon even if he wins the treble now. The unrest amongst the support towards him is alarming as fluck.
4 years ago today since KT made his debut at the age of 17.
In that time he’s played almost 200 games of football.
