@AwhYeh @RorySmith I said before the split that I'm much more worried about the rebuild than the run-in. The volume of business we need to do, and squad churn we're likely about to see, is massive. Time will tell whether this title is a last gasp, or a turning point. I am fearful which it'll be.

@RorySmith came within 8 minutes of winning the league in the first year of a ten year project. this is likely the worst this hearts team will be. they’ll likely optimise their manager too soo enough. celtic really need to restructure behind the scenes and rebuild in the summer

Think that’s the most stressed, and most absorbed, I have ever been at a game of football. The chaos and the tension and the heartbreak of the best title race anywhere in Europe this season, and a game that did not, in fact, end. observer.co.uk/news/sport/art…

@jgceltic @JoeFlan05 @SparesCeltic Would also be interested in buying it off you if you can't get a swap mate 👍

@JoeFlan05 @SparesCeltic Not yet but got an account with 9 out of 13 so basically got one

@SparesCeltic spare for Bologna looking to swap for hearts

@nat95458 @JordanAllan10 @SparesCeltic Magic, can't DM you for some reason, try messaging me?

@_liammccabe_ @JordanAllan10 @SparesCeltic Got 2

Happy to collect anywhere within a couple hours of the central belt, or to meet in Glasgow, Edinburgh, etc. Not been to an away game in decades, never mind a European one, and Bologna is one of my favourite cities, so any help would be absolutely magic 🍀

@SparesCeltic looking for two tickets for the Bologna game on the 22nd! Would really appreciate it troops 🙏

@nat95458 @JordanAllan10 @SparesCeltic Long shot, but let me know if there's two on the go after this exchange, I'd appreciate it 🍀

@JordanAllan10 @SparesCeltic Got 2 on me

@johnwalker_1986 @Alan_Morrison67 Good analysis is good analysis man, no matter the source 😁

@_liammccabe_ @Alan_Morrison67 Aslong you know im a Rangers fans its ok 🤣

Celtic Creating Through Crosses Worst Celtic Coach in History is the evident stat but there is a very clear coaching process at play: > Overload Inside Left Area > LCB, LWB & LCAM Rotating > Creating Crossing Position > Deliver to Good Numbers in the Box > Players on Edge for 2nd Phase Celtics Crossing Comparison: > Martin O'Neill 17 Crosses Average per 90 > Wilfried Nancy 33 Crosses Average per 90 It could be a complete coincidence but potential the analysis & coaching regarding crossing has been priority: > Hearts 1st Game: 8% Crossing Accuracy > St.Mirren 2nd Game: 16% Crossing Accuracy > Dundee Utd 3rd Game: 21% Crossing Accuracy > Aberdeen 4th Game: 23% Crossing Accuracy In the Aberdeen game, all 3 goals came through those different crossing scenarios. Luck or Design?

@MckinnonDougie @johnwalker_1986 Did you watch the video? There's no "might" about it, it did work. Is it daft for a football manager to use a tactics board to demonstrate tactical changes? Or is it actually just daft to think that's daft? 🤷‍♂️ People are buying into this silly framing far too readily.

@johnwalker_1986 Too much Ian Cathro vibes about it (remember him) I get the logic of it and if all the players were miced up it might work. But it did look a bit daft on the day. Will he use it against Roma and St.Mirren?

Value in Visuals as a Coach We have all had a laugh at the Tactics Board but in reality the advantages in showing visuals were clear from the 2 adjustments made against Hearts. 1st Adjustment on Tactic Board: > Switched to a Front-2 > Abandoned WB's in favour of Wingers > McGregor as the Single-CDM 2nd Adjusment on Tactic Board: > Tierney Moved from LCB to LWB > Creating a Yang/Hatate/Tierney Left-Side Overload > Switched to a Back-2 > Abandoned Full Right-Side (Hearts had been playing on it anyway) Celtic after the 2nd Adjustment: > 1 Goal > 5 Chances at Goal > xG of 0.78 If Nancy had done this using a Notepad, Sky wouldn't even have cut to him & tried to use it as a stick to beat him with but reality is, even in football, you might have players better at visual learning than verbal communication.

@Alan_Morrison67 I said to my Dad while we were watching this "I don't think he should have said that probably?" Oh well, MO'N doesn't strike me as the kind of guy who has much regard for that kind of protocol at this stage in his life 😂

What a guy

@harmannick @aboutceltic Maybe that's just in the context of the MLS? Hard to say how he'd assess what was necessary in Scotland.

@aboutceltic This concerns me as sounds completely unsuited to the Scottish low block and the Celtic supports desire for attacking front foot football

🇫🇷 / 𝘾𝙚𝙡𝙩𝙞𝙘 𝙈𝙖𝙣𝙖𝙜𝙚𝙧 𝙎𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙘𝙝 - 𝙒𝙞𝙡𝙛𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙙 𝙉𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙮 The more I look in to who would be the next manager the more I realise Wilfried Nancy is a real possibility. MLS Coach of the Year last season it’s a natural progression for the Frenchman to move to Europe. During the 2024 CONCACAF Champions Cup (equivalent to UCL) the 48 year old guided his side all the way to the final. It’s a manager who’s doing well both domestically & in cross nation competitions in North America & by all accounts would likely jump at the opportunity to manage the club. He’s probably the best candidate for what would be considered an ‘easier’ deal to do.

Hi @bluecoatpress, I ordered a book from you at the beginning of November and am yet to recieve it. I have contacted you via email on several occaisions, and despite recieving one reply several weeks ago, there has been no update. Can you advise on how best to resolve the matter?

@the_middle_bit @AyoCaesar There was, aye! Not sure where it came from but I certainly heard that too 🤷‍♂️

@_liammccabe_ @AyoCaesar Wasn't there a rumour that Charles was going to do that? To George or Lee or something?

Stupid question time: why do the Roman emperors all get their own names (Vespasian, Augustus, Diocletian etc) even though loads of them actually had the same names (Gaius, Claudius, Marcus)? Why don’t they get called Gaius the Second, like we do with kings?

@AyoCaesar Also, given popes do the same thing, maybe that's a continuation of the same Roman phenomenon 🤔

@AyoCaesar Even more conversely, some kings have even changed their names when coronated to those of previous monarchs. Funny that 🤷‍♂️

@huddlebreakdown @Alan_Morrison67 An even handed comparison of how our tranfer window is looking so far in relation to Rangers', and which team is doing the better job of plugging gaps, improving quality, etc.

We'll have a podcast coming your way later this evening 🎙️ We've managed to get the diva @Alan_Morrison67 nailed down for it and all. Anything you'd like us to discuss?

All four campuses at @edinburghcoll standing shoulder to shoulder on strike against the unnecessary redundancy of our long standing colleague and experienced union rep. This doesn't need to happen as we've made the required savings! #no2CRatEC #fightingforFE #saveKev #fe

@Jon_Mackenzie just watched your video from last year on the difference betwen Bielsa and Marsch. Given the latter is in contention to replace Postecoglu, how do you feel Celtic's current squad would fit into such a narrow system after two years of wide wingers and inverted FBs?

@ForestHills1903 @EBL2017 I imagine with the likes of Son and Kane (or the spending possible in the wake of his sale) Ange can elevate his tactics at Spurs. I hope you and other Spurs fans give him time to prove he's good for it, Celtic fans can say with sincerity that you likely won't regret it!

@ForestHills1903 @EBL2017 Have a look at the highlights from those matches, Celtic actually played really well and created enough chances to win several games, but failed to finish them. Elite strikers cost a bomb; Celtic do well with our resources, but in the CL its different, very fine margins!

Ange Postecoglou's Celtic are largely special tactically & replicate many of the elite tactical staples present at the likes of City, Arsenal & Brighton. Below, in this in-depth thread, I break down what he must do to rebuild Spurs, & that involves selling Harry Kane! THREAD ⚪️
