GAD Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 27 minutes ago, Henrik's tongue said: We’re nowhere near these top teams tbf. Another centre back wouldn’t change that. It might. It's not like Celtic did well tonight and were outclassed by a team scoring great goals, it was three free headers, an absolute joke at this level, and something maybe a competent centre half could have done something about. All Bayern really had to do tonight was turn up. 3-0 flattered Celtic, Gordon and the ref kept the score down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilverWolfe Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 I think in our situation we do need to buy though. You're correct in that our 2 main centre halves are good enough, but how much time have they spent injured between them over the last season or 2? Combined I'd be surprised if they've made much more than 50 appearances between them since Brendan Rodgers joined. Even then, the guy who appeared to be our primary defensive target in the Summer was a South African centre back who'd likely have been nowhere near the starting 11. Our defence is absolutely all over the place at the minute due to our failure to get anyone in. Jozo has played 44 games according to Wiki. It just seems much worse at the moment because of the injuries. As you say the guy we nearly signed probs wouldn't have made the slightest difference. That was basically a case of us signing someone for the sake of signing someone. I'd much rather wait until a better player becomes available or sign no one and go with what we have. If injuries happen then we need to just deal with it the best we can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1320Lichtie Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 On what planet have they done okay? They've been utterly pumped so far. They're lucky it's less than 5 at the moment Taking it in context. They were always going to get absolutely pumped. As it turns out 3-0 is actually very respectable. Bayern and the elite 4 or 5 of the Champions League are on a totally different level now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

10menwent2mow Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Just quite nice to see Celtic get utterly gubbed off a team off of a comparative gulf in resources as they enjoy over the rest of Scottish football. If Celtic happen to win at Pittodrie on Wednesday next week I look forward to the press and Celtic fans acknowledging how the financial might and different class of player that Celtic can attract means it's impossible for Scottish football to compete.

TheCelt67 Posted October 18, 2017 Author Share Posted October 18, 2017 Bayern barely had to get out of second gear. Humped by a combination of Bayern being a class act and Celtic helping them along the way with schoolboy errors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booker-T Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 looks like we'll finish the group with double the points we did last season while getting 4 football lessons which will hopefully help each player and coach develop a little bit further. biggest lessons for me is that 1. Sinclair turns into one of our weakest links at the highest level, constantly unavailable to pick up the ball from our midfielders and when he does have it, he's making a head down predictable run. Domestically our usual 433 formation hides Sinclair's weaknesses, against Bayern and PSG, the 451/4231 exposed them. 2. Defenders have to focus on the basics, the pass averages for the 7 players in Celtic's midfield and defence were better than decent, but centre backs need to head basic crosses away and 3. Full backs need to be match fit - the manager needs to rotate the full backs and if numbers are low in that area, then we need to develop players there. People were moaning that we never signed a CB in the summer... what we actually needed to do was sign a player that can play 2 of the 3 defensive positions.
