so everyone that had a pop at lennon and his team selection and tactics were right, His arrogance to go with no strikers when there is 8.5 million pounds worth on the bench is the actions of someone who is incompetent, There is no excuses then he throws the players under the bus after accepting responsibly, shameful Lennon should be showen the door.

There was a third striker on the bench - 18 year old Cameron Harper. He was fit and cometh the hour, cometh the man. David Marshall was 19 years old when he faced Barcelona on his first team debut, so what was to stop Lennon putting Harper on say for the last 20 mins or so if the other two on the bench were either not up to it or not match fit?

daviebhoy67. If so many players seemingly want away then that is down to Lennon.
Part of his job is to create a good team spirit where the players are totally committed, if so many players are unhappy then he should ask questions of himself.
Lennon knew when he took the job the conditions he would have to work under, after all he has been here before.
Looking from the outside he seems to have his favourites and this is causing bad feeling, he needs to treat everybody equally and show them all that if they work hard and play well they will get their chance.

Maybe time for a new defensive coach on board, its at the back we are failing miserably, fair enough we aren't converting chances but that's a confidence thing, and when your in the right head space goals come, however defensive frailties are crippling us. Lennon can't have a say in which players arrive at the club, there is no way he had heard of klimala soro bayo etc they just come in from the sporting director surely, dykes would have been better option in my eyes or a player like him, wish LG would get his finger out.

Doesn't say much for Lennon if all these players want to leave
Players like Dembele, Shved, Soro and Klimala aren't being given a chance
Just left on the bench to rot while others can play poor every week knowing they won't be dropped.

Losing games happens, we come back from it. Losing dressing rooms is a harder thing to come back on. Should have taken full responsibility for team and tactics, and saying players want to leave in public will only add to unrest and discontent. Who do we feel are the players he is talking about. My worry is players on the brink of going down in history want to leave! Which points to the behind the scenes situation being grim.

Although Klimala is raw he still should've started. I can understand Ajeti as he's not had a pre season and not fully fit and still looks to be carrying a bit of timber still. No reason why Klimala could'nt have played 70 mins and subbed for Ajeti far too many chances passed by in the box where we was missing a strikers instinct to tap them in.
