The OP Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Just now, ancientnoise said: Are you missing the point OP? This one... "it would have made for a far more interesting night in the last group game" Yeah it would’ve. If a lot of other things that didn’t happen happened the last group game would’ve been interesting too. The fact remains Anderlecht’s result tonight was the same as we achieved against Bayern at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodgers is tactically inept, and him setting up a selection of eleven players light years ahead of the competition in an attacking formation won't change that. You're never not conceding against PSG, but theres no reason you can't actually make a decent game of it for the majority, and then maybe succumb at the end. For the game to be over after twenty minutes, again, is awful management. I honestly think there's a chance Anderlecht will still go through, solely because Rodgers will have too much naivety/pride to keep things tight and play for a draw.

daresaints Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Shambles of a performance from Celtic - poor all over the park. Broony had a hand in both opening goals and simply doesn’t have the legs for European football. Still at least it was only 12-1 over the two games .

If we set up like we normally would, I believe we will win. If we set up for the draw, I believe it'll invite Anderlecht to attack and since they have nothing to lose, put us under some serious pressure. 21 minutes ago, daresaints said: Shambles of a performance from Celtic - poor all over the park.

To be fair, is PSG wanted it, they could have had 12-1 tonight. 16 minutes ago, wastecoatwilly said: i think we need a better goalkeeper Agreed.

paul-r-cfc Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 We've sent teams far worse than that away in Europe and I've never seen us carved open, so consistently the way we have the last few 'glamour' away games.Rodgers can't just keep going with the same approach then claiming progress. We can at least try to shitfest our way to a more respectable. It wouldn't be pretty, but then again, neither is 7-1. Teams in Ligue 1 that are worse than us have managed to avoid that level of scudding because they adapt what they have to suit who they're playing. This is something Rodgers has been accused of his whole managerial career - the lack of a Plan B and apparent inability to put a team out to do anything other than all out attack. It almost won him a title at Liverpool because he had a Suarez and eventually lost him his job there. Time for him to reassess things, if he doesn't want to beat his own record again (that could have been a lot more than 7 tonight) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celtic have forward thinking midfield players that's why we score so many goals,Brendan's Celtic play's on the front foot i don't want to see 4 Neil Lennon type players across the park. The only criticism i have of Rodgers is when lustig got injured could have put Mcgregor at right back and brought Armstrong on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll still do the treble with Gordon In goals and reach next season's group stage. Buying a better goalie wouldn't do any good unless It was Neuer or De Gea.

Guest Bob Mahelp Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 Rodgers presides over domestic domination, but has been responsible for probably the most embarrassing results in Celtic 's history. How long will the unwashed give him ? Does he get extra leeway because his name is Brendan ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonglum25 Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 But Rodgers said that they would fear Celtic's history - perhaps he should realise that history is yesterday's news and what happens today is what counts. Perhaps PSG did fear their history and that is what kept the score reasonable! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering Rodgers has multiple millions to spend every window, it's not really an excuse. Everyone and their dog can see you've absolutely no quality in depth in defence, yet his complete arrogance means he refuses to do anything about it. Rodgers presides over domestic domination, but has been responsible for probably the most embarrassing results in Celtic 's history. How long will the unwashed give him ? Does he get extra leeway because his name is Brendan ? He'll get as long as he wants because Celtic fans are utterly delighted to be big fish in a small pond. The fact they've been utterly destroyed multiple times under him, yet the fans still scramble about to make excuses, highlights that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deanburn Dave Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 Celtic defence almost every week faces 1 attacker in Scotland running after a hopeful punt up the park. They will always struggle against a side who dominate possession, are camped in the Celtic half and play with a quality front 3. European football shows Scottish teams how poor they are.

young_bairn Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 That was quite amusing. Celtic had no alternative game plan. The players didn't have a clue as the goals were flying in. GIRUY. Had to laugh at the commentators highlighting the financial gulf. [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celtic are a second rate side in a third rate league. Not really any more to it than that. You do have to wonder what it will take before Rodgers realises that they cannot try to go toe to toe with teams who are that much better than them. In some ways it is admirable but mostly it is fucking mental. Biggest issue for me was the complete lack of leadership and organisation at the back. Brown was awful and Boyata in particular was well out of his depth. If Celtic don't spend some of that European money on a far superior centre half to anything they have, as well as a competent right back, they deserve everything they get in games like last nights.

The OP Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 Getting in better players than Brown and Boyata is easier said than done tbf. Wish we had a better goalie though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
