    Once again Celtic supporters have caused embarrassment for their club.  So are they all committed activists for the Palestinian cause? Are they hardline Islamist supporters of Hamas?  Are they contrarians who go out of their way to oppose whatever position the Westminster Government takes?  Or are they simply immature attention-seeking juveniles?  Whatever the reason, it’s very likely that UEFA will take a dim view and fine the club accordingly.  

    On the same subject I note that Liverpool are playing at home tonight…

    Do you really think we will lose every single remaning match of the season even when half our team has returned from injury and Wagner has been booted out? Beacause that's the only way we will go down as the bottom of the table is so poor

    And that is what city have become. Others failure.

    I'm as disapponted at the results as anyone, players clearly lack confidence and look under extra pressure because results are bad.....but is the growing toxicity going to help?

    It's virtually impossible for the players and manager at the moment because - it seems like we want Webber and Wagner to go more than we want them to turn it round - and that just isn't going to work - it never does. Fans effectively get rid of managers by making things so toxic, that owners/senior management bow under the pressure. But sacking Wagner now would imo be like when we sacked Farke - a huge mistake. Not because I think Wagner is as good as Farke, but because who will take his place? Change isn't always better, when the fundamental problems are lack of resources to get the players we need - and injuries to two key players who can make a huge difference - Sargent and Barnes. 

    We all know Webber is leaving anyway - and that is right - change is happening - but the new guy in charge, Knapper, has to be the man to make the decision on the manager, not Webber or crucially, not the fans - it musn't get too toxic. Things could change after Christmas when we get Sargent and Barnes back in - maybe get Batth settled in the team too - so despite the negativity, which I fully understand - now is not the time to force change imo.

    I don't rate Wagner, I don't rate Webber, I think the take over should happen sooner - but what do we really want?  Results, that's what......but we ain't gonna get them while the present anxst is there from the fans. Even under Wagner, who looks a little shell shocked at the moment - this season can still be rescued - Sargent and Barnes will make a huge difference - it will help Sara/Sainz/Nunez - who I still rate - and others to flourish too when they are back. 

    It's not nice on a bad run, but things can get better as the season progresses. Toxicity, though will ruin that possibilty. So is calm needed? I think so, but do you?

    Not one to start these kind of threads...

     

    But can't see this going anywhere at all.

    We are terrible. Get him out now!! How can you be 2 up then sling it all away. We ARE SH1T

    It's not just him, the club is in an utter mess. Delia should sell up and get out. Webber should f*ck off now on the Leeds team bus and take his wife with him

    2008 is calling, it want's its pinkun forum slogans back.

    It's almost like that mega-thread doesn't exist and we haven't had to deal with a loose cannon poster going on about it for...<counts> ...over two years.

    Agreed, nothing has changed for 15 other than the happy clappers devotion to drunken Delia

    His recent record is shocking.

    I don't like to make snap judgements on players and managers so have given it the traditional 10 games before making a more informed analysis of the state of things. That way any brief highs and lows will even out, systems will be established and the first choice players will be known. So, here we are...

    I think it's fair to say that 16 points, a positive goal difference and being just outside the playoff places really isn't too bad. In the context of our free fall at the end of last season and the significant overhaul of the squad, we're doing way better than I feared we would and are pretty close to the ceiling of how I imagined we would perform.

    Yet there's an air of disappointment among many fans with possibly a lack of awareness/acceptance of just how poor things had become, reinforced by a surprisingly strong start to the season leading to a false sense of underachievement.

    I think there's actually far more to be positive than negative about:

    1. We have a surprisingly coherent plan which is fairly apparent in the way we're trying to play. What's more, it's surprisingly close to really working. 
    2. Rowe is actually really really good. None of us could have anticipated that.
    3. Sargent is way better than we thought he was when actually playing as a striker.
    4. We're actually better without Aarons and Krul.

    On the other hand, there are still plenty of negatives:

    1. Aside from Rowe, Sargent and Sara, our attacking options are weak. That's why our good plan isn't leading to good results. 
    2. There's a lack of resilience and a degree of arrogance which exposes us to conceding goals. 
    3. Substitutions exclusively make us worse and the manager doesn't seem to be able to make effective tactical changes.

    On balance things are OK. We might make the playoffs but mid table is likely and relegation is almost certainly not on the cards.

    This might turn out like Farke's first season and we could kick on next year. More than ever, people need to be patient and not have too high expectations; it's far better than it could have been. 

    Happy clapper.
