similar to the start of Rodgers last season
Hesitant at the back, caught with the ball in behind, pedestrian in possession, no creativity.
I'd say that's the worst I can remember a Celtic side playing since the start of that season, we were rank rotten, not one single pass mark
1 year in and you can't tell me Jullien is any better than Boyata, we need a left back who can actually beat a man, the captains goose is cooked unfortunately, a shambles at home to Hamilton last week and just as bad yesterday, his stats comparing him from last season when they weren't great, to the start of this are a very hard read, Forrest and Elyounoussi hiding, Elyounoussi now hasn't produced a performance in a Celtic shirt since the semi final(i know he's been injured but I'm struggling to remember what type of player he was, is he better on the left or in behind? seems like he wants to play no.10), one moment yesterday when he done great to win the ball, break forward he had easy options to the left right and next to him and he gave the ball away, summed him up
Eddy seemed to take a few early knocks, the tackle for our goal was imo similar to the tackle on Frimpong last week there was no need for it, I'm all for a professional foul but Dicker has seen an opportunity to clatter him because he knew the worst he was getting was a yellow, after that Eddy had a poor a performance as I can remember.
Some of that may seem harsh but this isn't the season for putting in performances like that, I'm a tad worried about Wednesday now, think Ntcham needs to come in, Elhamed as well
go back to the 3-5-2 please
Horrible Performance

Ritchie ... Your point 12 - Was thinking the exact same thing pre-match yesterday. Embarrassing to have an extra from Still Game as our go to man for interviews.

The glaring issue is that this is weakest squad we've had in 4/5 years?We really are short of options in many positions outside the starting 11
points/questions that come to mind are
1. is our new goalie any good?
2.Is Frimpong actually a RB or a winger he looks more like a winger to me?
3.Is this a season too far for Broony ? early signs not good
4. Taylor ?? or Boli ?? or preferably someone new?
5.Julien wat a wimp
6.Ajer is a Bombscare goes to ground way too early and often and useless in the air
7.Ryan Christie i love his effort and energy but FFS sometimes his first touch is hellish
8.Where is Rogic?
9.Will Griff ever be fit again? we need him !!
10.Will Lenny ever make an early sub when its obvious were struggling?
11.Why cant Ntcham get a game?
12.And the most mystifying of all is why has Taylor suddenly become the most interviewed player ?? hes horrendous in interviews, and comes across as a wee nyaff
13.In all honesty im not sure that the current squad is strong enough to win the title which is ridiculous given the huge gulf in financial clout between us and all the rest
14.Its early days and hopefully we get some good news in the transfer market soon??
Apart from that all is good
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Flucking hell.
Honestly wonder why some kants bother supporting us honestly
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Do you follow Celtic to support the team or just need somewhere to vent at?
I don't think you've ever praised Celtuc

Any chance you could not inflict us at the same time then?’
Here’s some points to consider:
We’re not the greatest team in the world.
Every player on our books will have some obvious and serious deficiencies. The ones that don’t, tend not to stay too long.
We have no right to win every game, and while we think some players aren’t trying during a match, they most likely are but are just having an off day.
There’s not an area of our team that can’t be improved. That will always be the case.
It’s fine to discuss the pros and cons of our team, but a lack of balance to every single comment makes it a difficult discussion.
We didn’t play well on Sunday, and Kilmarnock did. They deserve full credit for that. I heard Duffy on clyde talking before the game about how Barkas was underhitting passes in the warm up-and he said that was because of the pitch. Our players seem to have a mental block about plastic pitches. We can debate all day about their merits or otherwise, but our players need to learn to adapt. Jullien seems to lose all confidence on these pitches. I’ve read about how he’s not up for a physical battle-I can’t think of a game at Celtic park where he’s been ‘bullied’ the way he has at Livi and rugby park. He’s had a couple of difficult games, but nothing like the horrors he’s had there.
If there are problems in the team-and I think there are-then it’s better being highlighted and hopefully dealt with now than papering over them and for them to be found out later.
Let’s see what happens.
