'Embarrassing', 'Lazy', 'Obviously not committed'; The brutal words Lennon has used on his own Celtic stars this year

Are Neil Lennon’s methods of man management and motivation effective anymore? That’s one of the big questions I’ve been asking myself since Saturday’s 2-2 draw against Hibernian. For all the criticism that Celtic have received this season from pundits and supporters, some of the most brutal words have come from Lennon himself. In the wake…

John, the best player for us in that first half was Broony by far, the rest looked ok-ish. The penalty/dive big mistake from Broony, and the second our so-called defence? If players need to be mollycoddled to play, then they need to be dropped back to front. Playing two attacking mids is their fault if they don’t know what to do not the manager? He tells them where to play they pi55ing move away and wait for the ball to come to them, and the ball is played to where they’re meant to be by players not looking? Everything Neil has said is true, but should only be said to the players and not to the media.
