If a team like St. Johnstone draw at Celtic Park they won’t receive the same credit as when Celtic drew at Manchester City, even though the difference in scale of St. Johnstones budget to Celtics is much higher than Celtics to Man City. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AFAIK Rodgers' has presided over Celtic's biggest home defeat, and biggest away in the clubs European history - his record is appalling. These matches are where a Celtic manager should be judged, and for me he's consistently come up short. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if you’re referring to yourself with the last word. Tom English is spot on. The “Celtic can beat anyone at home in Europe” mentality has disappeared during Rodgers tenure at Celtic Park. Strangely as Celtic have become more dominant in Scotland, their relevance in Europe has been watered down. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kennysmassiveego Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Brenda thinks that the tactics he employs at Celtic Park against the rest of Scottish teams will also work in Europe , and as Barney Rubble states , he also thought this whilst at Liverpool . I also don’t agree with the argument that the Celtic fans demand that they go on the offensive at Celtic Park , they want success in Europe not kamikaze tactics , this IMO shows Brenda’s short comings and why he will never again manage at the very top level . My own team were relegated by a manager , Davie Sneddon a club legend , playing attacking football without the necessary defensive qualities and personnel to cope with that . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At a certain level of opposition, fans do not give two shits how you win. Nobody cares how they beat Barcelona or whoever else in Europe, it goes down in history as one of their best nights. Maybe if you're playing Lincoln Red Imps, but getting through a knockout tie with Valencia would be impressive no matter how it's achieved. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no way that Rodgers gets the criticism he deserves for Celtic's European travails, and while you're right in saying it's a poorly constructed sentence - to focus on the semantics rather than the observation probably proves this point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
