Once again he fails when really tested. The born winner stuff is really starting to fade.
And of course its all the players fault. He leaves two expensive strikers on the bench and puts Christie up front but takes none of the blame. Its like Tynecastle all over again.

From the BBC interview with Lennon after the game
"I'll have to carry the can, and take the responsibility for it."
Not his usual response, as you suggest. Normally happy to point the finger at his playersThis is how it feels

Asked what message he would give to his players, Lennon added: "Get your mentality right, get your attitude right. If some of you don't want to be here, leave."
Asked if his impression was some players don't want to be at the club, he responded: "In some cases."

I'm not sure there will even be a discussion about his future at Celtic, when there certainly should be. They are regularly knocked out of Europe by clubs with a small fraction of their budget. Big clubs must take tough decisions. They don't seem to be moving forward.

I could see somebody like Eddie Howe doing well in the Celtic job and using it as a springboard, much like Rodgers did.

“Get your mentality right, get your attitude right. If some of you don’t want to be here, leave. Let us work with players who want to be here.” Pressed on whether he thought some of his group had eyes on other things, he added: “In some cases.
“The players need to buckle up. They’ve been OK but some of their attitudes need to be better if they want to come and play for the club. I’m detecting a little bit of a malaise among them where sometimes they’re not as good as they think they are.”

Celtic & Lawell are settling for second best and can’t match Lennons ambitions, or something...

He was the cheap and easy option for Celtic there fans must be raging.. more than fair chance he’ll blow 10 in a row as well..

Seems to me he has reverted to his sort of favoured "it's their fault not mine" stance. If so they could be kissing goodbye to 10 IAR if he alienates this particular group of players? Not a mind reader myself, just recalling things said in the past by him.

He had to go as he became a liability as he lost the plot and we went on a run of losing just about every game. Lennon was not a success overall if you open your eyes and look at his stay from start to finish.

1st season in Championship was eye bleeding and we took our time to win it. Thought football was unattractive and negative.
1st Season back we were woeful till after Christmas until Allan, Kamberi and Mclaren came in on loan.
2nd season back up and we were on course for relegation before he was sacked/left.
Failed down south and struggling now at Celtic even though their budget dwarfs the rest of teams in the league.
Man management skills are clearly lacking and hark back to a bygone era.

Me as well, despite the fact that the manner of his departure was particularly disappointing (and the way in which he then pitched so quickly at Celtc... let’s just say, he made himself available at the right time for himself).
Anyhow, is Edouard genuinely injured or is there a suggestion he is working his ticket? Can’t believe Lennon didn’t start with a striker tonight for tactical reasons, looks like another clumsy attempt to ‘send the board a message’.
All not well at Celtc Park just now.

Lennon was alright for Hibs. Inherited a good side. Tweeked it. Was heavily backed. Got results and then undid a lot of work in the fans eyes by blowing a derby. Better and worse Hibs managers have done the same.
My biggest bug bear was the fact we were always just his second option til Celtic came calling again. Like the jilted lover that goes running back.

I think The Rangers will win the league.
Pressure is a huge factor and Celtic will buckle

Celtic and Lennon will get their beloved ten and then the rest of the country will have to hear about it constantly. Over and over again.

That's a lot of money that could be put to use that they're missing out on.
They're not a happy bunch.

All he had to do at Tynecastle was stick with the team that were 13 unbeaten. I still don't understand.

When he has to think as as a football manager and not play it simple he’s found out as a angry wee prick.
I loved him at him at Hibernian until the pressure came on. Then he became a ****.

Lennon never recovered from the tactical shambles that was Tynecastle 2018. Toys out the pram blaming everyone but himself and threatening to walk. Prick.

Looking over at the Celtic forums they’re largely all saying what a few of us who saw through him early took a lot of stick for when he was here.
Tactically inept when his plan A doesn’t work, odd signings and shifts the blame wherever possible. A fair few want him gone.
If Sevco are within striking distance of the league with two or three months to go then I really fear that he’ll crumble.
Do you think your security can keep you in purity, you will not shake us off above or below. Scottish friction, Scottish fiction

Some of Lennon's time at Hibs was fantastic to watch
But you just dont go missing from your job, hiding for 5 days, after a derby defeat, blaming mcgeough ("I dropped Dylan because he told me he wants to leave") when all you needed to do was pick the same team who'd steamrollered their way to 13 unbeaten games on the spin.
That 5 days of anti-social distancing revealed a lot about Lennon, as a manager, I thought
