The first game next season is at Parkhead that’s another game we won’t winNovember.

Diomande whether we pay it in the summer or in January will cost the club £4.5m. That is more money than the other lot spent in total on the 4 players they had playing in midfield today.No money for transfers like a Shankland that many people wanted, that's why dio was a obligation to buy out of next seasons budget.
Lundstam has been as good as a man down for how long now?Well I'll ask you then, what would you have done given the players at your disposal?
Lundsram was our best player in our last game.Lundstam has been as good as a man down for how long now?
Dessers should have been off much sooner.
Yilmaz and Raskin should have started.
The midfield should have been set up to stifle them in the center, shut down McGregor and you have went a long way to stopping them.
No attempt to shut down Maeda, as usual that side is found wanting.
Target their weaker defenders.
There was multiple changes he could have made. Instead we watched them waltz through us, at will at points in the game, and we didn't seem to have any clue how to change that.
He has been here long enough to have some ideas about how to combat them.
100% agree. Getting beat in the same areas and continue with same tactics.Showed today he hasn’t learned from his mistakes from last old firm game. Big red flag for me.
Lundsram was our best player in our last game. Smashing, he has been shite the vast majority of games.
Yilmaz is coming back from injury - you have no idea of how fit he is. He was fit enough be selected in the squad, he was fit enough to be subbed on. He could have started with Borna on the bench.
Raskin has been brutal when he's appeared as a sub. Still wouldn't have cost us what Lundstram has over the season.
Everything you suggest is with the benefit of hindsight.. As I said earlier, tactics ETC. Were discussed all the last week, so not hindsight at all
The manager can't legislate for Silva watching his man run off him or for not converting chances. Nor can he legislate for Lundstram's performance? None of what you mention is news or something that hasn't happened before this season. You don't select players that repeatedly cost you. The fact that has has and they did, yet again, is solely on Phil.
How many of them are football managers, Hampered by injuries and lundstram get's himself sent off not down to the manager.
Folk still saying McCausland should have started - why? what would he have brought to the team?Mcausland was dreadful when he came on, and has been for months.
So, that team you've picked. What difference does it make, given their opener came from the other side and their second a long ball from their right(our left) hand side?
Lundstram has been pish for months, a tantrum is not going to change that. If you think he has been decent for the majority of games then there really is no point discussing it further.d:
Lundsram was our best player in our last game. Smashing, he has been shite the vast majority of games. No he hasn't. That's just revisionist pish!
Yilmaz is coming back from injury - you have no idea of how fit he is. He was fit enough be selected in the squad, he was fit enough to be subbed on. He could have started with Borna on the bench. - That is nothing more than a guess.
Raskin has been brutal when he's appeared as a sub. Still wouldn't have cost us what Lundstram has over the season - More guesswork
Everything you suggest is with the benefit of hindsight.. As I said earlier, tactics ETC. Were discussed all the last week, so not hindsight at all - Discussing ideas and tactics online is so far removed from being the manager actually picking the team

It’s not what he would’ve brought to the team it’s how he would’ve allowed us to play.Folk still saying McCausland should have started - why? what would he have brought to the team?
Weirdly we created far more chances with 10 men but questions must be coming to Clement regarding his team selection.
Yes, you can only piss with the cock you have etc. However, anyone could see that we had to change our selection and tactics today. Anyone could see that we couldn’t go into a 3rd old firm with the same midfield that got ran over in the previous two.
The selection of Diomande, Lundstram and Lawrence in the 10 was terrible. Midfields win Old Firm games and it’s no surprise that when we’ve played with that midfield 3 we’ve won 0.
We need to take control of these games and that just doesn’t happen with our best midfielder playing on the wing and then playing at center half.
Seeing barasic was bad enough but lawrence as part of the three instead of sterling meant we got what we deserved.Q
Of course all these issues have hampered him but he’s hardly helped himself today. It’s head in the sand stuff not to question his decision making today. Same setup as our previous 2 OF games and again we found ourselves 2 goals down.
Let’s just not criticise managers when they’re wrong though!
Couldn’t agree more and showed more on the ball and a bit of dig we haven’t seen in an old firm game in a while.Changed the game when he came on today.
