Robinson went nuts at his second half back heel and I'm sure he would have been off if Aarons was match-fit. Hopefully he gets his confidence back in time for Saturday as he still looks better than Seedorf. I think the level of Celtic just highlights that he's got to go a bit further. At the start of the season he looked a bit out of his depth, has worked and raised his level to match 9 out of the 11 other teams (generally), but still has to go a bit further to compete against the OF. Think he'll get there, but it'll just take a bit of time. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wastecoatwilly Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 Very strange perception of the last 2 games, both Hamilton and Motherwell played well but in very different ways. Hamilton got a goal and made it hard for Celtic to break them down yet Motherwell probably deserved a goal on the balance of play. In terms of Celtic dropping points some fans think it's harder to play teams away from home i'm not so sure. Celtic have dropped the same amount of points as they did in the invincible season with 13 games to go. For me Celtic's level hasn't dropped, I think the rest of the teams in the league are just getting better. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenlantern Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 Lenny has really got this squad firing. As much as Rodgers was a very astute tactician and achieved astounding success at Celtic, this football we’re currently playing and this talented squad is a joy to watch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does feel a lot more ruthless of a side than Rodgers' was. His felt pretty set in a pattern, and he could change it if absolutely required. Lennon seems to be making the most of the bodies he has kicking around a lot better. Griffiths and Simunovic both got themselves to fitness, so shifting to a front two and a back three, whether by longer term planning from Lennon, or as a response to the OF defeat, has definitely worked for now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, Rodgers team was more controlled and tippy tappy sometimes predictable but hard to stop, Lennon's team is more off the cuff more chances first touch football. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feared the worst when Neil was given the gig full time but happy to hold my hands up and say it's looking like I was wrong with my predictions. 4 minutes ago, thisGRAEME said: It does feel a lot more ruthless of a side than Rodgers' was.

There was never many complaints about Rodgers tenure but at times we were rather slow in our build up which is probably why he rated 'sweeper keepers' so much. Under Lennon we certainly appear to have more of an urgency about our play which, like you say, is shown by our ruthlessness. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Golden God Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 Loved the Well Bois no giving the ball back to Greg Taylor when it went out for a throw, great patter when your team is losing in the second half. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YassinMoutaouakil Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 There seems to be much more of an arsehole element in that section than a few years ago. Probably a different generation of guys as well as the ranks swelling anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
