Celtic v Hibs

[IGRIGI]

Reading a few Celtic fans on Twitter very complimentary of us and our performance. Best away performance in years according to one.

Make of that what you will.

The typical pat on the back patronising ***** you get from that half of Glasgow who mimic their red white and blue cousins when the scoreline is reversed.

Well said G, Lennon got it wrong with his set up and even said so after the game but after saying that still silly errors cost us. Take away that first 20 odd minutes and there's not a lot between the teams, disappointed in a loss but not disheartened.

Even if he'd set us up differently JC, i'm still convinced we'd have lost that game. They were superb on the break, and we were tremendous at times pushing them back.

Make no mistake, we gave them a very good game yesterday, we went toe to toe with them, when we have no real right to.

We have as squad that can play different systems, and has to at certain times because of injuries and suspensions.

We did ride our luck on occasions, but when you do that, you then have to have a go and take the game to the opposition and try and create chances.

We did that, we looked good and anyone with a hole in their arse can see we are building a side that is so much better than we've had in years, and a side that entertains us.

Apart from us winning every game, i dont think we can ask for much more.

Not many teams will go to Parkhead and score twice . Celtic are hitting form so I wasn't expecting to take anything from yesterday's match given we had a couple of players missing
Yep Lennon has always insisted we are a work in Progress and we had.been beating teams at the bottom and keeping clean sheets which in the past we have struggled to do
What is worth noting though is Kilmarnock have kept their form going from last year and Hearts have clearly done something right with their recruitment and along with Livingstone, have surprised everyone
Whether they can both keep this up remains to be seen

With Aberdeen failing to get proven Strikers in we were always going to Finish above them imo So Third was and still is a Realistic Expectation
But if Hearts were Togo on and Finish second and do well in the Cups, it will add to their Financial power over us
Think part of the initial frustration is some people just assumed we would somehow improve on last Season despite the loss of key players
The Hamilton game was a joy to Watch and showed what we are cababke of
It's just a Pity we had the Break Players injured and Celtic and then Hearts away back to back
The Team Selection at Tynecastle will be pivitol if we are to take anything
But we have scored more than Hearts and conceded less than them but we are a work in progress
If we do have Boyle Mclaren and Milligan away on International Duty for several games though that won't help us. Build momentum going forward Bad timing But will see whete we are at end of January and who we bring in

Hibs level is winning the odd cup and finishing top 4. Lewis has achieved all that here, he is good enough because he has proved it. Did left back need sorted when we beat Celtic last season, Lewis playing brilliantly and getting an assist?

I ****ing despise when we play well for weeks and one loss means players aren't good enough. Absolute ****. Lennon has had 5 windows to replace him and hasn't. So do you not trust Lennon?

This is completely correct.

Should have got a hiding today luck / good saves we didn’t. Nothing unlucky about this performance.


Good saves lead to good luck.Forwards try to be more deliberate and keep the ball well away from a goalie in form and hit the post.Don't agree that we should have got a hiding but our goalie played well-that's what good ones do.

This might sound like a daft thing to say when other teams have got results from them. But, IMO, we are the only team in the league capable of at least giving them a game when they’re in the mood they were yesterday. I think anybody else would have got battered yesterday.

They treated that game differently yesterday, like a big game.
