    With Goldson it came across as him trying to deflect blame off himself.
    Also, he had been vice-captain for years at that point and one of the leaders in the dressing room, so if players had lost their hunger he took at least some responsibility for that - Sterling has literally been here for less than a season.

    Pretty clear Sterling is hurting about the situation whereas Goldson doesn't give a single fuck

    Or more likely, I think Clement knows the answers, but will he be allowed to fix it.

    It’s a cop out to say it’s just the players.
    The football bar Hearts 5-0 and maybe a couple of other games has by and large been shit. No one has rightly cared because celtic were dropping points to the extent they allowed us back in a race despite us losing an OF and a game at home.
    I’m backing him more for the guy he is, and the fact we’re very unlikely to attract someone with a better pedigree, than I am from what we’re seeing on the pitch.
    If he doesn’t end the season with at least the Scottish cup he’ll end up walking himself if next season doesn’t start well.

    It’s not just that they’ve let us down season after season, though that is a major factor.
    Almost every player has a shelf life at a club - how many players other than McGregor do Celtic still have from when Lennon was in charge? Taylor and Forrest are the only ones that spring to mind, and it’s not a coincidence that they’re Scottish. After a while, players (especially ones who aren’t from here) need a change of scenery or they lose their desire and hunger, and that is extremely apparent with our team. It’s too far gone with the fans as well now, we’re just sick of the sight of them.
    Our squad management since we won 55 has been a joke tbh. Gerrard started this mentality of “keeping the band together”, Wilson and Beale continued it and it has held us back for years now. We just can’t seem to let go of players, which is mystifying considering how little they’ve won. Morelos and Kent going for nothing were the most egregious examples of that mentality.
    What gives me some optimism is that Clement signed plenty of young, hungry players and got rid of plenty at Genk and Brugge, which won him leagues there, Postecoglou did the same and it won him leagues here. If the board don’t give Clement the opportunity to do the same thing here, then I give up.

    I cannot understand the performance drop.
    I've been involved in title challenges at amatuer level both as a player and as a organiser and well..... Once you were at the business end and had a sniff of winning - it was easy to run a team. Mood was great, everyone was willing, everyone tried, etc.
    Sure the performance would drop off if the challenge died, but until that point..... 
    I know it's amatuer level, but surely it scales up to the pro ranks? Chance to win a treble and become legends?
    Our drop off is bizarre.
    Against Ross County it was like guys downed tools and stopped caring. I cannot understand why that would even happen with so much at stake - even if the players hated Clement.

    1 win in our last 5. 9 scored and 9 conceded. 10 points dropped. 

    Similar to the 22/23 collapse under Gio where we dropped 12 points from 15 games. 

    Similar to the 21/22 post winter collapse under Gio where we got 3 wins from 8. 

    Similar to the 19/20 post winter collapse under Gerrard where we got 3 wins from 8. 

    Similar to the 18/19 post winter collapse under Gerrard where we got 5 wins from 10. 

    Wonder when the penny will finally drop?
