Renfrewblue Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 4 hours ago, Jinky67 said: This Leipzig team have also beaten this Real team last week and aren’t the same as the one who beat Rangers hence why they changed the manager so if we use that logic does that mean Rangers are capable of beating Real? Shakthar results were disappointing we should have won both of those games, the Leipzig game at home also one where we squandered a lot of chances With Leipzig I just meant their Bundesliga performance. They're not as good this season as last. The Empirical evidence is clear. Rangers have been utterly appalling in the group stage. We've had injuries and poor form but the 7-1 just should not have happened. But Celtic have flattered to deceive. Sure they attack a lot but it's gotten them nothing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leipzig are in the exact same spot in the league now as they were last year, they sacked their manager that they had against Sevco and have replaced him with Marco Rose and are doing much better now hence still getting 12 points from the group back up to 4th already in the league.

kennie makevin Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 The conundrum that confronts the Celtic board going forward is that they now have two managers. There's Ange Postegoclu - Big Ange, Inventor of 'Ange Ball', slayer of 'the 10', serial trophy winner, undisputed master of Scottish football - and then there's Ange Postegoclu - inflexible rabbit caught in the European headlights, unable or unwilling to change tactics against continental opposition, serial loser in Europe, the undisputed donkey of European football. So which one do they stick with. ? It's a toughy alright. There is, as someone pointed out, a treble to be won, a feat that would reverberate around the football world and which Ange Postegoclu, with his trusty Angeball will surely deliver. However that means the doppleganger of disaster called Ange Postegoclu would also stick around to lead the 'bhoys' ever further into the European wilderness. Maybe the answer is to retain Angeball for domestic duties, but replace Ange Postegoclu for European competition with a personality more suited, more seasoned, more successful , in the specific demands of the European stage. Step forward Celtic's new 'European Nights' manager - Mr Neil Lennon !!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m pretty sure they were 6th after the last round of fixtures but I could be wrong ? However in their next 3 games, they play 3 teams in the top 8 which will influence their current position very positively if they win them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, totally agree mate. I was surprised as many Celtic fans seen Leipzig as being ‘minimum 4 points’ fixtures. Any chance you had went when they brought in a good manager and they deservedly pumped you 5-1 over the 2 legs. They also matched Madrid over 2 games whereas you lost 8-1. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps take a step back. Why would I try to troll the terminally humourless that constitutes your average Old Firm supporter ? I'm merely pointing out the blindingly obvious about the Celtic manager and, in a spirit of genuine concern, putting forward one, albeit radical, solution. If you lack the decency to accept my offer of help with the respect in which it was offered to you then I can but apologise. However, if you think Postegoclu can lead Celtic anywhere other then down the plughole of European irrelevancy then, parhaps, you should take a step back and learn a bit about football !! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leipzig finished fourth in the Bundesliga last season and made it to the semi-final of a European competition. Does that equate to much difference between them then and now? I've just enjoyed the changing in opinions from Celtic fans on this (not just here, more so on twitter) where they had Leipzig down as a diddy team in May when we put them out. We then got a doubling down of this in August when the CL draw was made - they had to claim that 2nd place was achievable after branding them diddies just 3 months prior. And now, just a couple of months later we are being told they are a very good team Rangers fans will always claim Leipzig were a good team as it adds more weight to our Europe League run. Celtic fans will always claim they were diddies as it takes away credit from our Europa league run. I get that, now it's just funny that the opinions have changed after your meetings with them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahemps Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 Celtic got a very kind draw here. Unless you get the Europa league winners then you will always get a super team as top seed but then arguably they got the pick of the 2nd seed teams (RB Leipzig) and due to the really unfortunate situation domestically for Shaktar, in footballing terms they were arguably the best 3rd seed considering Napoli, Benfica and Inter Milan were other options. After the 1st round to be saying Celtic were in every game, creating chances and doing well is kind of fair enough but still saying that after the 6th game means they were not learning. Trying the same thing over and over and expecting different results is the definition if insanity, a bit strong I know, I don't think Ange is insane, he's clearly a good manager. But every single manager apart from maybe Pep will adapt different tactics depending on opponents, it is not a sign or weakness, in fact it is the opposite, to not adapt should be more of a concern for Celtic at this level but Celtic fans seem to be happy and telling every one they were content with their showing so that is fair enough and it is their opinion that counts. The reality is though they were the 3rd worst team in the whole competition this year, I wonder how many other teams who finished bottom were satisfied with finishing there? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Orcs (I don't use the h word as I consider it to be just as sectarian in intent and usage as the t word which doubtless offends you greatly) have been so shite this season I'd forgotten how unexpectedly good they were last year. Any Scottish (using the term loosely) team knocking a German side out of Europe is a very decent achievement, and they did it twice last season. So the Orcish hordes were actually closer to being non-delusional than ever before for a brief spell.
