In this episode of The Huddle Breakdown Extra Time, we dissect the unconvincing 1-0 victory over Falkirk and ask if the "chaos" has actually left with Wilfried Nancy. James explains why he is "offended as an analyst" by the double standard in how the performance is being judged compared to the previous regime, while Alan praises John McGlynn’s "Gasperini-esque" tactics that put Celtic under the most pressure since 2019. We also launch a scathing critique of the "grossly incompetent" transfer strategy, debating why Sean Maloney is being left to run a window he isn't qualified for, and why we desperately need four "competent" signings to save the league title.Want to support the channel? - https://huddlebreakdown.comLike this video and want more content like it?

In this episode of The Huddle Breakdown, we react to the chaotic 4-2 victory over Livingston and ask the big question: Is Wilfried Nancy’s “basketball match” style of football sustainable for a title race?

Plus, we look ahead to the midweek clash with Motherwell—will their “smart” pressing trap Nancy’s side?
