RDs fault the players can't put the ball in the net. RDs system created more than enough chances to win that game.

If you were at the game Jim you would have seen as the game wore on we became predictable and not too many shots looked like troubling them. Izzy and lustig must have put in 50 similar crosses all game and the hearts back line didn't have any problem dealing with it. Don't know why Ronny didn't use all his subs as Forrest and commons ran out of steam in final 30 minutes.

Time for RD to go? What an opening gambit after a 0-0 draw where hearts were pinned to the ropes almost the entire game and defended like there very lives depended on it. The fault today was lack of quality finishing. Like above posters have said 24 shots and not 1 goal. To get 24 shots at a goal means the movement organisation and drive of the team were all going in the right direction but with lack of composure and clinical finishing they get 0. Manager totally vindicated for me on this one. I'd like to see the stats on total crosses in game as well because from what I heard it must also be in the hight 20's either with poor quality cross or poor movement from the striker. Again RD didn't mess up his cross or mistime his jump. We drew 0-0. We move on and win the next game while the oppositions slope begins to get slippery.

I wasn't at the game no but managed to catch a stream so I know what I was looking at. Every time we don't win we can't be calling for the manager's head can we? The RD OUT brigade have been quiet the past week. I said when NL left their would be aspects we would miss, the main one being a bit of grit and heart but just to enlighten English bhoy; Lennon left. He wasn't got rid of at all. Ask yourself why. And then ask if the 'problems' really lie with our head coach.

@Pedro yep you can say that, or you can say that the manager has set a team up that can't convert those crosses. He has set a team up that can't get past a determined defense. He has set a team up that struggles to score goals if LG is having an off day or injured. And set a team up with only 1 real goalscorer.
This is not rocket science you can't tell me that RD doesn't know that teams will sit in against us.

Great opportunity to cut the gap, but the players that scored 6 last week at home to Dundee could not convert one chance from numerous opportunities created.
It's not the first time this (or last) season that we have dominated a game and squandered chance after chance and it is a glaring reminder of the lack of quality finishers at CP.
It's not so much the managers fault directly - although the buck stops at him - but more the predictability of his players who are bereft of flair and killer instinct in front of goal.
The positive is a third clean sheet in a row and of course Aberdeen hitting a 'mini slump'.

There has always been days when Celtic teams cannot score . We were held scoreless in Jock Stein's time and in Martin O'Neil's time and after missing chance after chance . Both Jock and Martin , although angry and disappointed always said they would be more annoyed if we weren't making chances.
