A lot is being said about the ntcham, christie and Forrest situation amongst us fans.

I am starting to think the issue isn't about getting ntcham in the team. I think it's about lennon not trusting any of the left wingers other than Ely.

Whatever is happening it's causing us to play very below par. We have scraped through December. Let's just win on Sunday and regroup in January. Sign a cf and lw and cb and we go again.

Taking it a bit far to say we've scraped through December.

Are we looking for any exscuse now lads to moan about our team.
Celtic where amazing yes it should have been 5, 6 or even 7 the linesman had a shocker. There goalie save MOTM IMO
Our Frazer foster stopped us getting beat by the unwashed yet he's a hero now but that's ok it's Celtic. WE never had a bad game st mirren where like the 300 movie.
It was s great game IMO the ball was in the net I'm not sure how many times there goalie was great the lineman decision shocking. We won we are not slacking, or lacking, teams sit back against us they throw everything at the ball.
Sometimes it's not us it's the other team just resulute and panicking defence to stop them getting the mauling.

The team is simply running on fumes lads! Been a hellava lot games since the season started! The adrenaline should see us through on Sunday then get a well earned break! We’ve not been at our brilliant best this month but it’s commendable that we’ve won every game bar a meaningless European tie. i agree with kev on the ntcham in the team argument to. i don’t think we would be discussing this if mo was fit. he doesn’t trust MJ or morgan (thank fook) to start and Sinclairs nowhere near it! I just think sacrificing what Christie and Forrest give is in their normal positions is to big an ask! Ntcham while a talent is far to slow in possession and wants an eternity on the ball! He’s better when a team are tiring and he can dictate a bit better from there! When a team are pressing u and in your face ntcham struggles!

I agree with most of your points there danny. I really don't think it's about ramming ntcham in at all.
I don't agree about ntcham though. I think he's a baller.

27 Dec 2019 14:34:52
Kev the quality is there in ntcham, some of his touches are lovely. just feel we play at a much more laboured pace with him in the team. if it’s a choice between ntcham and Christie in the middle then it’s not Even close for me, it’s Christie every time. but again u can’t argue with the results and our run of wins has been magnificent! One last push on Sunday and enjoy a few weeks of rest 👍🏼.

i see the slug is getting a pumping by liverpool. love it.

27 Dec 2019 12:30:44
The wheels are coming off that bus pumped by Man City last week and destroyed by Liverpool this week. Hopefully getting pumped again next week will well and truly take the wheels clean off. Maybe the players will revolt and get rid I mean he hasn't won anything with them and we all know how loyal the Leicester players are, he is definitely at the right club.

New image uploaded to the
Celtic Player Sightings page entitled, 3-6-1 on Sunday. We need to dominate the middle of the park.

26 Dec 2019 21:44:13
Interesting line up mate. Although don't see lennon dropping forrest. However i would be tempted to drop him as alway feel he goes missing against rangers and pulls out off a lot of challenges.

26 Dec 2019 17:17:28
Today's game showed exactly why we need to play 3 at the back on Sunday. Our inability to control the game against a high press is concerning and we can't let Rangers* dominate like they did in the Cup Final.
3-5-1-1 on Sunday as we did against Lazio. Drop Forrest (who was good today) and bring Bitton in, Ntcham and Christie behind Eddy with Bolingoli and Frimpong as wingbacks.

26 Dec 2019 19:30:21
Ntcham and Bolingoli should be no where near the 1st team on Sunday. Christie should be played in the no.10 position and a natural left winger on the left.

26 Dec 2019 22:35:56
Boli has been playing well and outwith missed chances we would have scored a barrel load whit are u watching.

27 Dec 2019 10:53:11
We did go 3 at the back
sometimes 2 in a corner
and constantly boli was non stop up and down. we destroyed st mirren the rangers game imo won't decide the league title history tells us we get evem better after Xmas the lads have done 8 years of amazing Lennons broken all sorts of new records and he knows the teams better than us. How the lads keep going I don't know. But it is all down to Lennon coaching team and CFC We are not just scrapping by that's garbage for the past few week we have not let teams leave there 18 yard box. Teams are desperate against us. Its just boring not for us we are pounding teams still winning. Now imagine being a team playing against us this is your cup final and you up your game against us and your still not beating us or gd enough. Parkhead 60,0000 dance a quick pitch and our last game. I'm proud of the lads and what they have done over 8 years it will end but it's to soon keep the positivity as it travels lads c.

27 Dec 2019 12:22:17
Mally Bolingoli is by far the weakest poung in our team. His lack of defensive qualities and decision making will cost us against a half decent side. I can count on one hand the amount of good games he's played.

What was julien doing today?

26 Dec 2019 17:16:23
Nothing much to be proud of when I watched him. Falling about like my 4 year old with an ouchy.

26 Dec 2019 17:40:02
Should have been off if not for the slap out then for 2 yellow cards got away with one today.

26 Dec 2019 18:17:02
Shoulda got hooked the minute he started rolling about the ground when abika rubbed his six-pack 😂.

26 Dec 2019 19:36:06
I said it last week against Hearts, he needs to stop the rolling about.

26 Dec 2019 19:56:22
I don't think i've seen a game where he hasn't rolled about like he's been shot. Its embarrassing someone needs to have a word with him.

26 Dec 2019 20:57:44
I agree he definitely needs to stop it. He is a big man for God sake. But unfortunately it's seem ok in today games. Look at what boli did also. How u are not embarrassed if u watch that back l never know. Wait till next week. El buffalo will be even worse. Bad side to the game.

26 Dec 2019 21:18:21
I was embarrassed for them to be honest. There wasn’t even any shots fired .

26 Dec 2019 19:26:56
He had a nightmare today. He seems to struggle with the physicality of the Scottish game at times.

25 Dec 2019 23:33:25
Merry Christmas Ed. Hope you had a great day.

{Ed007's Note - I had a wonderful day, Ter thanks, I hope you had the same.}
