Jinky67 Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 20 minutes ago, AJF said: 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? Of the 10 teams in the CL group stages that you have beaten over the same period how many of them could you beat today? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 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 ? Two tedious bald twats back here wanting something to fight over. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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...

Ooooft. Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 Nice first goal from us last night but the usual defensive mistakes cost us again. Played well in the second half too but that doesn’t make their winning goal any less sore. I don’t get surprised at CL defeats any more. That stopped ages a go. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willywastecoat Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 The problem here is the Celtic fans remember what Ange said last season,eash time we play at this level the squad should get better. As much as we come up short in these games it doesn't get any easier,St Brendan doesn't have that experience with this squad even thou he works with them every day. Now hes talking about the same thing Ange did last season,this is where the dissappointment comes from the fans. You could clearly see we missed Jota but also the tempo of the game is more passive, PLEASE STOP PASSING IT BACK. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
