Agreed John, and the first 2 are all down to that wrong manager. He's a dud, and a clown with a big mouth and a bigger ego. Hopefully he'll be gone sooner rather than later.

John, that’s the worst ever and he has to go this week coming! Anyone who gives the go ahead for Lammers must be removed.

Sadly John I need to agree now. Sick of telling people it’ll be good when we gel. If we don’t act now the league will be gone by Christmas.

Just about sums it up John, but does the Board have the 'balls' and the money to get rid?, and who do we bring in.

100% correct how did he start Jack he is finished?
Why did he play midfield so deep in1st half and sit of them and let McGregor have all the time in the world?

Why can’t he see we need a new defence?

Yep sums it up John. I’m done! We have regressed so much! Hate this feeling, it’s horrible!

Unfortunately think we all agree on this John

it’s not good to be in this position so early in a season
Can’t even see us getting through Europa league where last few years you would be pretty certain we would all be confident of doing so

not sure what or if the board will do anything

but I’m certainly not convinced on what I’m seeing from manager or players at this moment in time we drop any more points the league will be over by October old firm teams don’t lose much points in the league so it’s hard too hope they drop many points

4 points down if that rises to 6-7 points by October then we’re in trouble
they still have first team picks to come back we pretty much have a full strength squad and we couldn’t beat them at home

same words and excuses from manager and players now too
Just can’t listen to it anymore

I said early today we have lost our identity and it was funny the panel on sky sports said the same we have no identity
For an old firm game it just feels like a normal game of football now players have no passion or fight
It’s possibly is the fact we don’t have home grown talent in the squad all mostly from down south and in Europe
years gone by we had players from our ranks and from Scotland who fired up the rest for these big games we don’t have it anymore
And doesn’t help Beale seems he just doesn’t know what he’s doing right now and we don’t have time for him to figure it out.

John - Beale has NO tactics or GUILE - Roofe the only forward player with a football brain gets taken off (maybe fitness but he looked unhappy) and Dessers stays on the park (never a Rangers player) - ludicrous - Beales coat must be on a shoogly peg and am fed up listening to his barrow boy banter- he takes us for fools! - 4pts behind after 4 games - horrendous!

Beale at fault 100%. I can’t see how he recovers from this and i’ve been calling for patience with the team. Our tactical ‘genius’ beaten by a makeshift Celtic team who were poor themselves. Could have been beaten 4 or 5 too. Wow ??‍♂️.

Beale found out. Was getting sacked at QPR. Lazy incompetent choice. Reap what you sow.

It's all on Beale, yes the ref was rotten today but Beales tactics and team selection were worse.
We should have went with width on both flanks, we let their fullbacks have an easy time of it. Cantwell should have played as a 10 were he is most effective. If Barasic isn't fit then Ridvan should play. Our most expensive signing of the summer starts on the bench.
We were in there faces in the first minute and obviously got the goal ruled out for offside then after that we sat off them and let them back into the game which was baffling. Overall just really disappointed cause that was as poor a Celtic team as we have played in recent seasons.

Got to agree John, it hard to believe how far we have regressed, is it down to one man probably not, but he is manager and has to take responsibility he has had free hand at signings, that shows his first fault next has tobe shape of team, something has to be done before it's to late, I know we can't keep changing managers, but feel we have no choice,

Aye, board need to act immediately. There's no coming back from this.

Bitterly disappointed today they were there for the taking and it was a massive chance for us to put a statement down, over the course of the first month of the season our team has come up short, poor against killie, struggled against an average servette, poor against Morton and livi, were better against psv in the first leg but this last week has been an absolute disaster embarrassing to say the least, outclassed against psv and showed next to nothing against them today…Beale has made terrible signings and we have let better players go. The jury’s out on Beale and rightfully so his tactics team selection and quality of signings have been a disappointment. Hopefully we part company and bring someone in wrong can galvanise this team and take us forward unfortunately I think the club are to far invested in Beale to do that…. even if we did part ways who would we bring in?

I now agree 100% with you John, he has wasted good money on players who are not good enough to wear the jersey, my fear is the cost of replacing him, and would a newcomer get any more out of some of those players.

Fully agree John.

100% agree.

Unfortunately, I think we'll wait till it's too late do do anything about it and we're out of Europe.

I said after pre season we could forgive a few poor results if we could see progression on the park. There is none, arguably we're going backwards.

10 months in and we don't know how we're even trying to play. Completely disjointed. Add to that we appear to have replaced players with worse players, which is quite something given how poor the likes of Morelos and Kent were last season.

Dessers better than Colak? Not on current evidence
Danillo better than Morelos? Not on current evidence
Lammers better than Kent? Not on current evidence
Sima better than Sakala? Not on current evidence

That's before I even get started with the defence or midfield (I think Raskin is over rated at the moment, though has potential, Cifuentes has been poor initially and Cantwell needs to be given a role he can grow into, not fitted about all over the place) .

Arguably only Butland has been a success so far of ANY of Beales signings, last January included (As Raskin and Cantwell have both been poor in the games that actually mattered as well) .

Overall, I don't see much for us to be positive about at the moment. They will only get stronger and I don't see anything in Michael Beale that suggests we will get any better. We're arguably worse now than when he came in.

As an example, Gio got us into the CL and at this stage had 10 points from 12 available (dropping points at Easter Road in the last minute after Lundstram incorrect red card) . It took 13 games before we'd lost 2 in the league last year, and that was with CL games and the huge issue we had at CB. Not to mention he actually won a trophy the season before and got us to a European final.

This season we've lost 2 of the first 4, 6 points from 12 and were pumped out of the CL by the same team, with a fully fit squad (mostly) . We sit 4th in the league going into the international break.

Not saying Gio was the right man, he deserved to go as his football was dire to watch and he was falling away from Celtic. I'm just saying he left with a better like for like record than Beale has now having spent a hell of a lot less money.
