No matter how I feel about NL, I must give him great credit for this undefeated run - with one of the most average Celtic teams - for many a season.
I really thought that we had turned the corner at Tynecastle recently where we played with flair and slick passing; creating and scoring chance after chance; albeit a very rare footballing display.
But almost immediately afterwards, we are again failing to turn possession into goals and frankly not creating a Hell of a lot in front of goal!
Maybe the injury to Lustig has contributed? Obviously the return of that chancer, Samaras changes our play, but apart from Izzy and Commons, there are hardly any players who can lift a game with skill and ability to open defences and create.
Stokes has done nothing since gaining a contract and the Pukki/Balde signings are a disaster, with little return on our Summer investment?
I fear if the manager is not fully backed and in return, he adds the quality and creativity we lack, Celtic FC will lose what little talent we have when the new season approaches.
I know we are well in front, but honestly, how many fans are enjoying watching Celtic play?

I see where your coming from, but it appears that the other teams watched the murderwell and hertz games and decided to defend even more. I think we are keeping the ball a lot better but there is a spark missing for sure.
