A half that epitomises everything that is wrong with us this season.

Yep all on watkins for me. Simple chance and again misses and costs us.

We just conceded two goals in two minutes. That isn't Watkins' fault.




3  0 and its over

Exactly.  You cant give watkins  a pass. At 3 -0 celtic are done. That was a simple chance.

Exactly same pattern as against West Ham. Unless we can change back to near our starting style the game will drift into scrappy and that suits Celtic fine. Come on Unai - this is on you now.

If you can't defend a 2-0 home lead at home to an inferior side then your attack is so far from being your biggest problem that it isn't even in the same postcode. We keep throwing away leads, we keeping conceding 2+ goals, and somehow people think it's the fault of the strikers.


Yup - two woeful goals. McGinn has been poor and Bogarde just eliminates any threat on the right for us. We are so fucking soft.

No big surprise here
Gave it away on at least 3 occasions before they score
Get the ball up the other end of the pitch, we fuck about and encourage them to swamp us and then we make a mistake and give it away.

I am not even surprised.

Mentally we are weak.

The way we have played of late - consistently- we do not deserve to be going anywhere.

Is is unacceptably poor and it keeps on happening.

Why not just bring on Nedeljkovic and leave the best player we have bossing the midfield? It’s a fuck up.

We were great until the substitution fucked us up again.

Maybe Emery is used to only playing 4 teams a season in Spain and the rest can be dismissed by fiddling around and nothing happens to shake him. I don’t know. But there seems to be some odd  subs decisions.

People blaming a centre forward for shipping two shit goals is mental. I'd fuck off to Arsenal if I was him. See where we are then.
