Solid performance tonight.
Great response from the players to recent criticism.
The players looked dead on their feet by the end of the game. Both sets did actually. Lille played with real intensity for the first 30 mins of that second half. A draw was probably a fair reflection on the efforts put in by both teams.
Hopefully no euro hangover on Sunday and on to another final.

Anybody know if Elhamed back for Sunday?

Solid performance first half, we threw away a two goal lead in the second. Would've took the draw beforehand but at this level we should have the quality to hold on to a two goal lead. Twice in the space of a few days we have failed to see out a lead. We never look like keeping a clean sheet.

Neither wee will with Duffy at the back unless he cuts the errors out he really does need to up it the big man.

D and P
They said in commentary that Elhamed would be back for Sunday.

That was a massive improvement. We are definitely getting there. If we can take that first half performance into the next phase of the season we will be flying.
Two smashing goals. I particularly loved how quickly we closed players down in the first half. That was very encouraging and showed the desire that has been missing of late.
We tired after the hour and left acres of space behind the full backs but all-in-all that was a major step forward.
It was never a penalty either. That foul was outside the box. We would have been worthy winners tonight. I am convinced we have turned a corner. Great to see Eddy back too.
We played as a unit and it was a great team performance. That will do for me.

Hopefully with young Mickey Johnstone waiting in the wings is the kick in the hoop ( no pun attended ) moi needs because there’s no question about It he’s quality elynoussi he has it in his locker just need to see it more.

When I watched it on hesgoals, I thought it was a stone wall penalty, and I thought what an idiot Duffy was, I don't think I have seen anything to make me change my mind, maybe you have seen different replays.

Duffy is the weak link. He is all over the place. Jullien is far better. Good point. Good performance. Happy for moi more to come from him. He wasted a few good opportunities. Players fighting for lennon was good to see. Can see a domestic winning run up to the new year game. Bain and barkas don't convince me. We were spoilt last season though. Forster was a huge difference.

Aindoh, it was a yard outside the box. That said he still made it easy for the referee to make the wrong decision. It was a tackle that didn't need to be made, just shadow yer man as he's going nowhere, stay between him and the goal and don't commit till it's safe to and you know you have cover if he skips past you. The big guy is trying far too hard, needs to settle and focus on the basics. Sometimes think he looks round about himself and sees ball players and tries to put himself in that bracket, which applies unnecessary pressure. As MON said many times, just win the ball son and let the real players do their thing.

Aindoh it was clearly outside the box.
30 Oct 2020 01:27:22
Contact was a hundred percent outside box aindoh no question .
30 Oct 2020 03:03:49
Good to know you've upgraded from listening on the wireless aindoh, still marring your perception of reality though.

I do think duffy will come good, there's pressure on him right now which i think you can see, maybe he didn't realise the amount of focus that gets put on you at celtic compared to what he got at Brighton. He doesn't seem to be getting any luck whatsoever even the ball hitting him and going in last night, just seems every player will make a mistake but seems when he does it costs us something.
Im sure its something that will eventually go and he will come good a couple of good games is what he needs. Its just a bad spell for him. Hopefully sunday a clean sheet and a goal for duffy will get him going.

Why lennon sticks with Duffy and Ntcham is beyond me, they should be dropped now that Bitton is back and play Turnbull or soro with mcgregor and brown if brown isn't dropped. Or play Turnbull soro and mcgregor then you have a high intensity midfield with bags of pace and energy Ntcham does very little and brown is showing his age. Time to start introducing these two more often.

Steve bhoys is your head still under the duvet? He has cost about 10 goals already come good? Hh.
30 Oct 2020 19:10:30
No but I've seen him play a lot before celtic, at Brighton and ireland he will improve maybe its one of those he's trying so hard to impress he's losing concentration and making mistakes, don't get me wrong if it keeps happening a decision has to be made to drop him but im only thinking that's why we've stuck with him because he will eventually come good. Im all for supporting our players everyone has a bad spell, because we are expected to win every time then mistakes are more noticeable. We're having our bad patch now, eventually rangers will one that's when we'll take advantage. Every team goes through it.
