Indeed mate.

My concern is if Rodgers was in charge yesterday and we went down to 10 men, i don't think we'd have lost the game at least.

I'd have taken a point when Christie was sent off, could have been a big point.

You know what you're getting against Livingston there mate, truth be told though it's the games that win you titles.

Last year we drew there and still won the league but that was a big blow yesterday.

All the more annoying given how well we can play and did play on Thursday.

I like Lennon and I think he's done a lot of good since he came back but his big weakness is not knowing how to chase a game.

Ffs, it was panic stations at 1-0 with 30 mins to go.

Big Julien is honking btw. An absolute imposter. Likes to show a wee bit of aggression when the ball is out of play and he has team mates around him but an utter scheidtbag when it comes to basic defending.

ElHamed and Bitton at centre back.

Send ajer back to the reserves for a few months. He needs to rebuild.

Brown still has good games in him but he also has too many like yesterday.

As for my comment that Celtic could win every game...I'll stand by it. I also said that Rangers could beat everyone else apart from Celtic and have a good chance of the league.

With the way the other teams have regressed, Celtic and rangers have the biggest advantage ever over the rest of the league. They should be winning every game.

Ajer i'm all for a spell out the team, Biton in there next to Julien.

Julien was caught up in a battle yesterday instead of actually just doing the basic's but he's been very good on the whole the past 5 weeks.

Big squad of players and he plays the same team as Thursday.

Christie must've ran about ten miles on Thursday - Cham should have replaced him yesterday.

Rotate the squad ffs.

He's rotten mate.

You wouldn't even let that pump the wife.

If he was rotten he'd have been ran ragged against Rangers, Rennes, Cluj etc. He's not rotten but i don't think you'll change your mind on him regardless.

Where do we start?
Lennon is not the first to take the blame for yesterday.
Christie had a bit of a brain freeze, players have a wee nip at each other but he was ott and a red card was the right call.
But at 10 men the main fault was with the CBs, both were all over the shop at the two goals
For Lennon I think his changes were too late

Just seen Christie has deleted his twitter

I personally didn't see any abuse aimed directly @ him yesterday, not to say it didn't happen but players are turning into absolute snowflakes.

FFS, i imagine the worst that was directed was calling him an embarrassment for the tackle.

Agree with most of that apart from the CB's being the main fault. 2nd goal yes, basic defending not carried out.

Ajer for the first try's too carry the ball into midfield to try compensate, naivety yes but as i said, going down to 10 men flucked up our game plan and we had no plan B so that's down to lennon.

It's fair to say that I'm not his biggest fan.

I'll be more than happy to be proved wrong.

I just don't get what Lennon's thinking at times, he can get it spot on but then go from that to the actual most baffling selection and tactics imaginable.

I know the pitch doesn’t help but you had more punts than the river Cam and they mostly dealt with it fairly well
I thought your boss would have made changes at half time

I like Jonny Hayes. He always gives 100%. But that's 2 weeks in a row he's been brought on to try and rescue a game for us while better players remain on the bench.

Agree with that Irvine, fine with Hayes coming on when we're winning and he's there to do a job.

Chasing a game and putting him on for Boli was absolutely ridiculous.

Ok a few points..

Firstly, I said Ajer was a bombscare, nothing he can do will change my mind. As i said, marauding runs and a bit of passion dont mean anything when you lack the basics in defending.

Secondly, our ability to bring on players who can affect a game is second to none yet we bring on players who cant. We need a better back up striker than Bayo and no, not Griffiths. Could it be Sinclair, probably. Will it be, most definetely not.

Thirdly, Elhamed is a much better player than Bauer.

Lastly, Celtic will win the league. Of that there is no doubt. Being top is fine for a month or 2 but as shown when it comes to big games, Rangers (Or Gerrard for that matter) always 'slip' up in the league when it matters.

The panic is a bit too much and for me its a case of if, and not when, Celtic get their title back.

Ajer is going through a bad spell, no doubt about it and a place on the bench is needed.

El Hammed is of course better than Bauer but Bauer isn't bad and he's not the problem for games like yesterday.

I do agree i still expect us to win the title but at the end of the day, Rangers have started better in the league, simple as that.

The team is much stronger but if we had

A) A better CB
B) A better back up striker

We would be sorted

I think Biton will slot in next to Julien after the international break, Lennon likes him in there and Ajer's performances in recent weeks make it a necessity.
