Far be it from me to advocate panic, but it's not difficult to see that Strachan now seems to have lost the necessary focus and urgency for the Celtic job: that is, Celtic seem to have lost focus and urgency, and there is only one person to blame for not changing the strike force when they're not scoring goals (Riordan in the stand the last game, unused on the bench this time), the midfield when they're not influencing the game (Gravesen disappearing off the face of the Earth- he is CLEARLY the type of player we need at the minute, even just to urge on the other players, to show a bit of confidence).
I could mention the defence- has Naylor played every single game since he signed? Not sure about that statistic, but until recently it was certainly true. Give him a rest. Play Doumbe- move it around, freshen it up. Nakamura never gets a rest either- and today- what would have happened if he had been injured? Would we have scored?
Every team can have bad days- the Milan game, I think was unlucky, and I'll ignore the Rangers game for now- but how can it be acceptable when the same issues that affected the defeat at Falkirk are not addressed for a draw at Tannadice?
Things are falling apart- Riordan should be given a chance, Gravesen should be given a chance: they are both obviously good players. The centre will not hold if this continues...
Safe to say, Jock Stein would not have finished a league procession like this. Not that I'm expecting another Stein, but we have to look at what we learned when he was here...
