‘Angeball’. When it works it is fantastic.
Fast. Frantic. Attacking. It’s the type of football every Celtic supporter loves to see.
But when it doesn’t. Boy is it a hard watch. And not hard as in last seasons team being hard to watch.
Hard as in you are waiting for it to kick in and it just doesn’t materialise. It’s like you’re waiting on your takeaway being delivered and it’s running an hour late kind of hard.
The warning signs were there in the 3-0 win against Ross County last week which is a strange thing to say considering the team scored three goals.
But when the football is not fast and flowing you can see the team struggles to break down their opponents.
Now today you could put that down to key players that were missing, but those players were also missing on Thursday night as well yet we still got a tune out of the team.
So what’s the issue? Well you only need to look on twitter and see that that is the very question the Hoops fans are asking.
Ange is trending, but not the way we would want him to.
The Celtic supporters are now questioning the Hoops gaffers philosophy after six away defeat from seven and here is what they are saying:

Ange ball is an exciting concept but its very nature requires players able to carry it out. It is patently obvious we do not have these men. 3 defeats in our first 6 games is not acceptable and I'd urge Ange to be more pragmatic in his tactics or we may face trouble ahead.

But for all the negativity about the Celtic gaffer, there was some support for him as well. We are only six games into the league season but with half of them lost away from home, there are some fans that still back the Aussie boss:

Seeing people claiming Ange isn’t the right man for the job. Gee me strength fs.

Not turning on Ange here, but that’s 3 defeats in the league so far and that’s worrying and not good enough. The big guy is going to take some criticism here and rightly so. The honeymoon is over, but I still back him. For now.
