There will be more games this season where it doesn't click and we don't perform. That's what happens in football. Some people could do with mentally preparing themselves now because I worry for some of you.
That game was never going to be the stroll in the park some were suggesting. Take the draw, go home and on to the next game. It's going to be a long hard season.

That doesn't mean you accept incompetence.

There was some inept play by certain players tonight & they have previous for it. That has to be considered & Pep will have to be right on the ball with it.

Most teams who score 3 at Bayern Munich in the Champs Lg will beat them. Most teams who score 3 at Celtic will murder them..

Tonight, the defence failed. Nothing to do with tactics etc, just shit.
 
They raised their game, we should spirit to come back from being behind. We can do better and we will an away draw is not a bad result, lets get 3 points on Sunday.

Pep gets all the praise for wins he has to stand up and take the blame tonight. Poor performance and horrendous defending all over. A goalie that rarely makes a save into the bargain. We had all summer to get in a couple of decent full backs . We didn't and im afraid it will come back to haunt us. Kompany and stones will be our preferred option in the middle of defence. Fucking hell that was really close to am embarrasing evening. Got to better sunday.

Ah we drop points and you reappear with negativity.

After being behind 3 times, a draw isn't an absolute disaster. Though it's annoying that Celtic didn't score a decent goal out of their three (an offside, a massive (sniff!) deflection and a howler from Kolarov). Hey ho. We move on. Still unbeaten.

The same lot who were giving it the big one about the red vermin who then went on to beat the champions 4-1, don't they realise that it all comes round to bite you on the arse when you get complacent.

The game at the weekend will be very very hard as will the game after that. There are half a dozen sides in the running for the PL title and we are just one of them, nothing is a given, at least the cynical old bastards have our feet firmly on the ground.

Here we go. Yap yap yap. We played fine. Celtic played us with intensity in the first half which didn't allow us time, doesn't mean we played bad ffs means they did their work. I really don't know what people expect sometimes, teams to lie down and let us play football. Bigger concern is Sunday, no nolito and silva looked injured and slow because of it.

Spot on, it was a great game to watch and we could easily have won it in the end.

Reading most of the comments on here you'd have thought we lost
 
A gripe from me - BT Sport sh*t - The stream kept 'stopping' - why ? - at half time( On the radio) I was watching 40 mins on screen.
Pathetic.
 
Thought the first half was the worst defensive display of the season. We really through the game away, then.
We were better second half, but need to be more incisive in front of goal. Sterling superb again.
Overall not a great performance, but a decent result, considering.

Fair result. The fleet st cunts surely are creaming themselves with City not winning.

Clichy poor, Kolarov in their 3rd goal kicked the air, Gundogan and most of ours were gash, Sterling, Zabba and Dinho the best.

On the other hand, this could be a rehearsing for the candlefucks game.

Dinho? He spent more time on his arse than his feet. He was terrible in the first half.
 
Since when did we become a one man team? Fuckinell the way some are going on about the loss of KDB you'd think we had a team of Carlton Palmers.
 
Thought we were poor in the main. Sterling was superb. Silva was good. The rest, not so good. Gundogan hasn't impressed really as of yet but I'm sure he will.

Games like that where we miss leadership at the back. Otamendi and Kolarov have been near faultless all season but they are both fairly reactionary and under pressure in and intense atmosphere I think their way of playing sometimes causes a panic which then seems to become contagious.

Fernandinho had a bad game and cost us a few times diving in and missing interceptions. Gundogan was only really noticeable when he lost the ball.

That said, we had enough good moments and chances to score again. Just bad mistakes at the back cost us. Don't particularly remember them having any actual chances bar the goals. Just seemed to be one of those kind of games where every Celtic clearance and punt infield resulted in danger through a combination of luck, Dembele running his arse off and us defending like clowns.

All three of their goals had an element of fortune. One of those days, but we didn't lose, which is important in the context of the group.

Totally agree. Gutted we didn't go on to win, but their crowd really was a 12th man. We'll dick 'em round our gaff.
 
Possession 61% to 39%, shots 24 to 9, shots on target 9 to 3 1st goal offside and 2nd a deflection

Yet Celtic were brilliant and we were shit !

An embarrassing evening? No where close, the defending was poor tonight but we came back three times which takes a bit of fight.

Did you expect us to win every game this season? Draw at Celtic Park isn't a disaster, still look very comfortable in the table.
