Maeda main attribute run behind nullified, our wingers who have been struggling to play as wingers now asked to play completely new position, aye that's a good idea, 3 cbs against 2 strikers when can hardly cope with one striker, no one knows where anyone is, where they are running or where there position is, Nancy better start to adapt or pressure for him to go will start.

Can we use a sub manager, sorry but? Everyone and I mean everyone that has watched Celtic knows that a. Tounetki is bang average as a winger and b. Has no idea how to defend. But aye let's play him as a wing back. Players will already been doubting WN him and that never ends well.

A good Manager would have seen in first 10 minutes that the system wasn't working, our right and left backs had 2 up against them from the start.
MON would have sussed that is not the way to play against this team.
Our midfield could not find a player ahead of them and we went backwards.
On one play we went from the edge of their box, and we passed it back all the way to PS.
A total shambles where our players have no idea where they should be.
They are also naive if they didn't realise that playing an Italian side, when they received the ball, they were going to get hit from behind.
Nygrens first touch has been appalling. Tounekti is totally non existent going forward as has Yang.
We are into the 2nd half with 3 changes but the same shape.
God help us on Sunday with these tactics and system.
At least with Ange you could see what he wanted to do and how the players would adapt but our players look confused and totally out of their depth.
This Manager and this system could wreck our season in a couple of months.

Maeda I don't think he's watched us apart from Sunday never mind roma.

It just seems as if our board thought they'd repeat their success with Ange, take an Manager unknown here, with success elsewhere and surprise us all with their brilliant insight.
Unbelievably this guy has taken us back to almost beyond MON time. We are that poor.
Sorry to sound so negative guys, but I just cannot believe how over the past few years we have declined so much.
Yes we have been successful at home but our overall standards have went backwards.
{Ed007's Note - The comparisons to Ange from the off were ludicrous, look at his experience compared to Nancy for a start. People have only dragged that up and clung to it as they crave some kind of positive from Nancy's appointment.}

Ed, this guy isn't even a poor copy of Ange.
He is utterly clueless. I was going to give him a chance, that was when I thought he would come in and leave things as they were, with maybe a tweak here and there to get this week past but no, he believes so much in himself and his system, he turns everything upside down in one week and has our players back doubting themselves.
Whoever saw this guy and thought 'he's the guy for us' has no idea about how football in 2025 is played.
That person or persons have potentially put this club back years.
I know many on here still believe we will win the league but after watching that, can they honestly say, they 100% believe it.
