Neil Lennon needs to be more calm cool and collected during CL games. He's too emotional and passionate and it effects his brain processes and rationale. He needs to be cold and clinical. His substitutions are wrong. Obviously chosen in a heated passionate state. Not thinking clearly. It's mjalby's job to keep him real.

Brown's red card was proven not to be a game changer, even after 13 minutes Barca were getting nothing. The Lustig substitution was the game changer. Cue the goal fest only Forster saved us from.

So lustig being subbed is to blame for izzy not defending yet again? Ffs we got bet why is Lennon to blame most teams can't stop barca from ripping them a new Arse hole in the final 3rd but we've done it 3 times now through good organisation and sitting deep. He probably also subbed lustig because he was on a yellow and didn't want to be down to 9 men

It's true we were in control and on top of the Milan game then the double substitution ruined everything and the goals started against us.

Our team has proven twice now it can't handle double substitutions. Compound this by changing the position of guys already on the park and your cutting your own throat.
This is the highest level club football, it's unforgiving.
Ruining your own high performing defense, which stood up well for 70 minutes is unforgivable. They were testing and prodding for 70 minutes and got nowhere then Lenny flung the door open.

Last year at Barcelona we were holding out for an historical draw. Very much on the back foot. The officials gave 5 mins extra time. Lenny brings on forward James Forrest (to defend) Barca player gets in behind Forrest with 25 seconds to go and scores. We would have been top of the group if that had not happened.

Op what a joke your are! Lustig on a yellow so has to be taking off and the subs made an impact for we almost scored! Leave Lennon to do his thing for he has shown he knows what he is doing for he was tryin to get something out of the game instead of sitting back and just think game is over

By God you lot are critical.AC Milan - The subs didn't cost us points in either game. A wicked deflection cost celtic could have happened in any game to any player, the second goal you could blame the person that gave away a stupid freekick? Good save but should have been pushed over or behind.
Add that to having 2 or three half decent chances and not scoring is what cost us here.
Against Barca - as silly as it sounds we were caught by a slick, lightening fast counter attack. with Cesc Fab showing good movement and a good finish. it was a great run by the player who crossed for him. And a good pass from Neymar to release him.

Fair criticism when it's due. We pay our money. We are bottom of the group on zero points. Gave away six points to competitors. It could have been two 0-0 draws easily.

8.) 03 Oct 2013
I don't understand how changing our right back is to blame for a goal which came down our left. It was good play by Barca for the goal, that's what undone us. There doesn't always need to be blame. I also don't get this fascination with double substitutions. I thought the changes really brought us into the game as we hadn't really offered anything going forward until then. Lennon has made double substitutions on many occassions and because we've lost 2 games where he has done this its suddenly the subs and Lenny's fault

9.) 03 Oct 2013
Jeffers there's no blame on the subs as individuals. With 11 men we were holding Barca to a 0-0 draw and getting the odd chance. At 10 men the team automatically went fully defensive for 13 minutes and Barca getting nowhere.
What manager decides to break that success and go on the attack in CL with ten against Barca?
Finally, yes move was from our left side but ball kicked to head of goal scorer in area Lustig had been looking after.

Management decision making. For choosing pre game the 11 to play. Careful, logical, calmly, well thought through, no room for error.

Same should apply to every substitution. No hot headed stuff. A process in the dugout needs put in place.

@no name OP get real buddy, its not that when we are winning, we really have no devine right to beat barca most of their team cost more than the lot of ours, now grow up and name yourself, ., .kbarry

The players started very nervy and were so fear-full of Barcelona and this has happened in many important games.
The manager is highly strung and this transfers to the players and as there is a lack of real experience and leadership in the team, which does not help.
A mix of experience and youth is important in the making and progress of all teams and that includes the bench where Lennon, Mjallby and Parker sometimes just look like totally lost Bhoys.

Kbarry, are you fat sally in disguise? Wanting people to name themselves now, if someone doesn't want to log in or register or leave their name that's their prerogative. Last week you wanted people banned, thanks be to god you're not a moderator! Relax your cacks lad, people have different opinions to you and me, it's up to you to decide who's opinion you value or who's opinion you rubbish but whether they leave a name or not they're still entitled to their opinion. Now have a hot chocolate and off to your leaba for yourself {Ed007's Note - It isn't really up to themselves, we are trying to phase out anonymous posts in the weeks ahead.}

14.) 03 Oct 2013
I stand corrected boss but there are ways around that too, floating IP addresses, different user names for home & work pc phone etc. Something for the geek squad to ponder! {Ed007's Note - It won't make any difference, any post that isn't from a registered (logged in) user will just be deleted.}

A h8 all that "name yourself poster" that's why a found out how to log in. But half the time a end up logged out and end up posting anonymously.
You can sign off with any name anytime unless its in that horrible colour of blue {Ed007's Note - That's something we will be looking at.}

Monkeybhoy, you're obviously clearing your history or have not got it set to save passwords etc. That's the sensible thing to do. (I don't want my wife to know what I was looking at either) ahem, anyway best thing to do is to log in each time you visit whether you post or not. In the "post your text box" under the green banner your user name should appear, if it doesn't then you're not logged in. You'll get the hang of it

@badbhoy you did make me laugh, No iam not the fat man i am honestly one of us. I agree I sometimes get pissed off with the sh1t our own give lenny. He also is one of us, can you remember before lenny our team was a shambles and it goes to show how good a job he's done now that we are moaning when we can't get results against the likes of acmilan and barca. He wears his heart on sleeve and stands up for our team,, a bit(but more)like o'neill he kicks, heads every ball from the touchline. I understand there are some fans wholl never like/take to him, but hey he's here and loves the club like you and me. I have asked(Ed poll please, prob no real answers though)before whod be a better candidate, got 1 answer(morten weighorst?) so BB could you give a name?, ., .kbarry(in lenny I trust) {Ed007's Note - If people send in (realistic) candidates I'll set a poll up no problem. So far we have Wieghorst and Owen Coyle, he doesn't have that clause for nothing.
I'll have a new poll up for tomorrow anyway and I will let people post nominations for an alternative manager over the weekend.}

People are entitled to their opinions and discussions of course Ed. But for whatever it would be worth, I just want to register my displeasure at the idea of a poll by fans for who they want to see replace NL. Why? Because we've been unfortunately beaten by two much better sides? {Ed007's Note - I only try and sort things you guys ask for Jim. Personally I am 99% behind NL, I don't think our manager should be using Tw@tter, which is the poll I am going to set up tomorrow. You can't deny that a lot of fans think he has taken the team as far as he can though, they are entitled to that opinion whether you agree or not. Maybe that would be a better poll?}

19.) 04 Oct 2013
JJ you must have been at a different game from me mate, I certainly did not see any fearfulness from us, I thought we stuck to the game plan very well even after going down to ten men. Yes big Fraser made some great save's but that's what he's there for mate.
Tambhoy

20.) 04 Oct 2013
And you're right, he shouldn't be using tw@tter. No one with a public responsibility to uphold should. It takes the limits of freedom of expression to a level that even the law doesn't know how to handle.

21.) 04 Oct 2013
There should've been a post between the two Ed. Appreciate what you do for us and accept you meet diverse requests. The other poll is much better worded aye mate. If this team has gone as far as it can (coincidently I don't think it has) then its the restrictions of the board or more largely the restrictions of Scottish football. Not Lennon. In that sense, what difference would Coyle make? Or Mourinho for that matter. Lennon is being criticised here for having passion. It's a joke.
