Duffy is absolutely terrible. Tools have been downed by a few out there tonight but we'll come back. Scrap this 3 at the back because certain players aren't adapting to it or don't want to. That mob will blow it again as they are serial losers when the real pressure is on. Gutted tonight though.

Agree with back 4
Not sure they'll blow it readily . they'll be a tougher nut this year meaning we have very little time to self correct and find a balance and a 90.minute performance
When all fit . at home
Barkas, el hamed laxalt, ajer, Julien
Midfield of McGregor and Christie CMs
Rogic acm
Eddy number 9
Forrest right
Moi left
When away from home
Rogic oit . Christie in. place of rogic and Turnbull in
This means
No Duffy
No brown
No Frimpong
No Taylor
No ntcham
Could it happen?

Short answer no.

Lubo I agree with what your suggesting, but if Lennon is still here then guaranteed it won't happen.
He has to go.

Lubo
I can remember that midfield was outstanding a couple of seasons ago when Brown was injured.
It was the season when Celtic were struggling under Brendan to create chances.
Then about this time of the year Brown got injured and we played Calmac, Christie and Rogic in the midfield and destroyed a few teams with fast flowing football.
One of the games was a 5-1 victory against a well organised Steve Clarke’s Kilmarnock side.

I remember that game buzz. from memory where killie not top at the time?

I was one that wanted Duffy but Ian high enough to admit he's been rotten his positional sense and passing are awful. still feel he'll come good with a consistent partner and in a back 4.

I’m not sure Lubo,
But I can remember Hibs were playing well at that time and Celtic beat them 4-2 in a cracking match with those 3 in midfield.
It got our season up and running and we never looked back.
It was our worst start to a season in over 20 years but we got our act together and went on to win another treble.

Brown will never be dropped and to compound the issue, he persists with the terrible trio that includes Ntcham and Cal-Mac and can't accept that this combination will never work.
Right now I see a very scared, under-pressure manager that is over-relying on an aging captain to get through a difficult time.
Even McGregor looks under pressure and it affected him last night, although International football fatigue may also be a factor?
We wanted 3-5-2 based on last season's successful run and good play, but between injuries, in-house issues, lack of form and even a lack of understanding of the system, we are struggling with it.
We have the players for a back four and that's an easy fix; but he really needs to use more of the many midfield options available.
23 Oct 2020 10:18:37
Rogic must start.
23 Oct 2020 10:21:15
Maybe if we get a new manager, not with NL.

Hameyed st Johnstone with those 3 in mid forest scored 3 I think? Hh.
