Not one to moan, especially with our excellent form in Europe this season but I'm getting really disheartened with Lennon. His knowledge of our opponents and his match preparation are top notch and his defensive and counter attacking tactics in Europe have worked brilliantly but he cannot pick a team with an attacking mindset. I've never known players form to fluctuate as ridiculously as some of these players yet Lennon sticks with them rather than take a chance with another player, we have some excellent young players who would walk into most SPL teams but are stunted in our development squad as Lennon plays 'his' players out of position and out of form.
Charlie Mulgrew has been a below average performer this season as he is shunted around left mid, centre mid, left back, centre back. This guy was an award winning centre back last year but Lennon in all his wisdom has decided on Kelvin Wilson and Efe Ambrose at CB, regardless of form or talents. It's this stubbornness that gives us a team lacking creativity, width and pace as positions are filled by a 'who you are' mentality, I don't mean to pick on Mulgrew as I think he's actually a very handy CB and a fairly adequate emergency LB, but guys like Hooper, Ambrose, Wanyama, Commons, Ledley, Forster, Mulgrew, Samaras (who have all played extremely well at times, but also have gone through really poor spells) need not worry as they will be straight back into the team for the next game, even at 75% fit. In Scottish football a lack of experience can be replaced with desire, determination and fearletvess which Watt, McGeouch, Twardzik, George etc would inject into a team of older heads struggling for form or motivation.
However, it's hard to expect such flexibility from a man who spends his time taking offense to every single question he doesn't like the sound of be it from the media or his own fans with such witty retorts as 'you shut up' or 'if you question me again i'll walk away'.
I won't get started on his signings, he has done okay but for every Ledley, Wanyama and Matthews there is a Lassad, Bangura and Miku.

You make some good points and in a few games we have surrendered easy possession by being too elaborate or just running out of ideas.
I like Celtic teams pressing the ball and attacking with flair and most of all pace.
But we are very predictable at times and opponents often score from counter attacks while we are spread wide open.
There have been a few passengers too many and NL just accepts it and if it wasn't for Commons' goals lately he would be under fire I think.

Put your name to the post then we might respect your view. I agree with most of your post like Mulgrew (is never a midfielder ) but Ledley has been dropped for some very important games to accommodate mulgrew. I would pick strikers from the CFC woman's team before I would pick Miku and Bangura they would more fight and could score goals than these two. But a Celtic team is after all a Celtic team and whom ever puts on that jersey should get our support no matter what.

Op actually agreed with your thoughts mostly but the signings & signing policy is much admired & gets no end of praise tell me a manager or scout who doesn't get it wrong? Also the shut it & I will walk away then? Put the whole conversation or interview in the picture & a different one it does paint? We can't agree all the time being supporters & I thought you made too much sense to be a sevconian, no tag I thought decent post but I can't reply no tag flush em out with some profanity. last book I read was mine.

Haha no worries mate, just a bit of banter.

The comments were from various times I've looked at his twitter page and had to cover my eyes in embarrassment as he barks, argues and growls at any fans who dare question him. I know he's been through a lot and gets a lot of abuse but he needs to remember that some fans just want to voice an opinion maybe even let off a bit of steam, after all we are the ones who buy the tickets and jerseys and whatever other merchandise.

Your probably right regarding signings, the scouting network should be praised but I guess my main gripe is i'd like to see us bring in a few Scottish guys who will stick around for 6 or 7 years and form a bit of a nucleus in the squad and also who understand how to play in the SPL, your never 100% what your going to get from a player but the odds are much better if he is already a stand out player in the same league as you.
