'Gallant losers are losers'...Was Lennon right to blast the players?

"The first 30 minutes was pathetic and totally unacceptable"
Hard to disagree, and it's the kind of attitude you need to be a winner.

No. We showed great spirit to fight back and were unlucky to concede the third. The start was unacceptable but the performance after that overshadowed that.
Do you think your security can keep you in purity, you will not shake us off above or below. Scottish friction, Scottish fiction

His suggestion that it wasn't down to tactics is a total cop out. Yes, the goals were individual mistakes and he can't do anything about that, but the overall flow of the first half hour was down to him playing Cummings up top on his own.

I know what he's getting at, but he's wrong. Jack Nicklaus was a good loser but he NEVER was a 'loser'

Yes the players crap for 30 minutes but so was the way the team was set up. We win as a team and lose as a team.

Surely the flow of the game was determined by having control of the ball twice at the kick off and still losing a goal.From then on our much praised midfield took half an hour to cope with being pressed and having no time on the ball.Something they'll have to get used to next season.

If he wants winners then why has he offered every player a new contract? He's right the first 30 were terrible

Lennon was right. Tactics had nothing to do with the 2 poor goals we lost. Tactics had nothing to do with us looking jittery and not showing for the pass. He is annoyed cause he knows we could and maybe should have won this game.

Never agree about gallant losers but you are allowed to take positives. After the second I thought that were in for a real skelping but we didn't fold.

Hard to fault the effort but yes changes needed in squad for sure, a killer touch and more Dylan style players driving forward.I hope Dylan is not out yet again from this injury.
We have achieved our main aim so well done.

Of course he's right but he is also culpable for picking a team that clearly wasn't set up correctly.
The first 30 minutes was the poorest I've seen from us for quite some time and that's ultimately what's cost us today. The last hour of that match, showed that we can more than match the likes of Aberdeen but you can't expect to get away with conceding two goals like that.
We deserved extra time there's no doubt about that but the start of the game was unacceptable.

It's a yes from me. But he too takes share of the blame.

I would rather be a gallant loser than a cowardly loser. When Lennon made his comments he was already a loser, he had the choice of what type of loser to be. Of course I appreciate, that to most Hibs fans, Lennon is a winner even when his team draws or loses and more so when they win.

I have no problem with Lennon stating cold hard facts but he should be man enough to acknowledge his own responsibility for team set up and the part that played in the first half hour.
Fine to call out mistakes if that includes your own.

He's absolutely right in his attitude but didn't help things by setting us up all wrong in the first place.

He wants his players to concentrate and fight for the full game not just part of it - and in every game not just the big games.
That's the mentality at celtic and nothing wrong with that at all.
