AJF Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 10 minutes ago, Drew Brees said: The last decade has killed the ****, literally and figuratively, content playing opposition from Cyprus and adopting a diddy mentality towards us about it while we’re coining it in playing against the top teams in Europe. The Espanyolification of rangers is complete. Is it cold in our shadow? Celtic's European record across all 3 European competitions is woeful. Let's not pretend it's just pitiful because you've had 2 seasons in the CL group stages in the last 6 years compared to our 1. When it comes to European performance over the last 5 years, Celtic are most definitely in our shadow. If you take the teams in this season's CL group stages, I count around 10 teams in there we've beaten in matches over that period. Can Celtic say the same? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a game where Celtic had a good chance to win, he's definitely someone you'll need to improve on if you're going to take advantage of these winnable games That’ll come with experience, Scales did his job well last night. For me, if I was to pick a player that can help secure those type of winnable games it would be Hatate. A few times last night stray passes and loitering on the ball cost us numerous attacking opportunities. He was the one you’d look to in these games, but O’Riley seems to be the player who’s taken his game to the next level. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will certainly be a big downturn in female voters. They'll all be spending the day in the hoose with a steak on their eye. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well done, you’ve won a few games in Europe while we’ve racked up 11 of the last 12 league titles, 6 Scottish cups, 7 league cups with a quadruple treble thrown in. But you’re right we’re in your shadow. As everyone knows, winning games in the europa league real success. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was the one you’d look to in these games, but O’Riley seems to be the player who’s taken his game to the next level. Once he realised it's probably not in his skill set (currently) to be the ball playing CB at that level, he wisely started playing more safe. I actually thought Celtic were at their best in the second half when they calmed down and just stroked the ball around waiting for openings rather than being too gung ho. I think it's a weakness of Scottish clubs in general in Europe that they try too hard to get the ball forward when a more patient approach and getting time on the ball might be more beneficial. I agree about O'Reilly. Celtic's best player by a mile and probably the next big transfer fee move away if he continues. Maeda for all his work rate is infuriating. Constantly getting caught offside despite looking down the line in his position the whole night 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zero......the same as Celtic then. Joined at the arse in both bigotry and European mediocrity. Anyone spare a comb ?

Well he's spent a long time in football management and is known for more than 1 season in his career. Maybe you can change top manager to good manager if you want but the point still stands. Yang and Oh are quite a big downgrade compared to guys like ORiley, Carter Vickers, Kyogo who can compete at a higher level. It's been one of the least ambitious transfer windows I can remember from them, despite record profits. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Constantly getting caught offside despite looking down the line in his position the whole night This is very much Rodgers at work. And I agree we looked very competent moving them around the pitch looking for that opening. I think Rodgers needs the players to achieve this style but it’s very effective when done right. I think Luis Palma came on at just the right time when we took the frantic end-to-end pace out the game and he was cleverly creating opportunities down that left side. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
