The most concerning thing for me today was not the result shameful as it was but more so Ange body language I spent more time watching him than watching those imposters in hoops jersey that have well and truly shrunk they fit them to a tee Ange looks very much like a man becoming more and more fraustrated with what he is witnessing and the magnitude of the task ahead, can he do it absolutely from what I've seen and heard from him, can he do it without a complete change of direction in the way Desmond runs the club, absolutely not, BR hadn't the stones to call the board out and took the cowards way out and jumped ship, learn from him Ange you will have 95% support from the fans, still 5 % who believe what comes from the boardroom and always will, the times has come to call them out if that's what's needed time to knock their gravy train of the rails, and remember you'll always get work good managers always do, bad board members not so sure about them.

Connolly, if we're still in the same position at the end of the January transfer window then I'll mostly agree with what you said.
I think Ange will be a positive influence and I think McKay will be too once he gets up to speed with the world of football.
Rugby and football are very different games, and I'm not just talking about the shape of the balls. HH.

It was a sharp reminder of how far we have slumped in two years and it will take a wee while to replace and regroup new players into an efficient and effective unit. Today was a big step-up in pre-season preparation and although we got a doing, it can only add weight to the manager's argument for quality recruitment as soon as possible. Obviously not the best preparation for Midgy-men and Hertz, but we all knew for many months, the mess we were in and what it will take.

GK awful, enough said, he needs to go.
Ralston out of his depth today, same with Murray, too inexperienced at this level.
Taylor isn't good enough
Soro for me will play at a higher level in the future he's class, we will definitely make money on him.
Rest of the midfield very steady, outplayed west ham in the middle of the park, quick passing and moving was great.
Eddy needs sold ASAP before his price keeps dropping as he isn't the confident striker we fell in love with.
Second half was a substitute show nothing more, wasn't expecting much, the young defender from Sheffield Wednesday was powerful and he looks like he will come good in the future if he learns and has opportunities.
We all know we are short of first team players and today was the perfect viewing the board needed to get their fingers out and get this sorted before the season starts.
Finally West Ham are no mugs they have great players amongst that team, big money signings, what else do we expect from today? We aren't champions league level by a long shot.
The other side drew with arsenal and played well, didn't look out of place, that's how far we are right now!
My expectations aren't massive for this season however I like the changes being made. 4/ 5 signings of quality then ill start getting title hopes up, until then its a team being slowly built for the future, the distant future.

Rodgers had the advantage of bringing in his own staff.
Ange hasn’t so far and neither did Ronnie or Lenny second time around.
Are Celtic still in the middle of ADVERTISING 🤦â€â™‚ï¸ for a head of recruitment position.
