Frustrated Ange Postecoglou reckons Celtic’s lack of penalty-box thrust was unacceptable.
The Parkhead manager watched his team reopen a nine-point lead at the top of the Premiership with a 2-1 win over Livingston. Ayo Obileye’s own goal and a Kyogo Furuhashi strike were enough to clinch success, but the perfectionist boss was deeply irritated and unimpressed at some of the attacking play Postecoglou says his men weren’t doing their jobs in front of the target and pulled no punches as he insisted Celtic have to follow instructions in key areas.
He said: “We still created chances, but those numbers should be greater if we got on the end of things. It’s unacceptable. We work on it constantly, so players know they should be in that area. It’s not clinical, it’s just being disciplined and being in those areas. We created good chances, but people in the box weren’t doing their jobs. Balls flashed across the goal, but people weren’t there. It’s disappointing because we work on that constantly.
