This guy posted that Rodgers could be a Delia mark 2? In Rodger's first competitive match in charge? |

It's not an easy time to get players in. The euros have just finished and loads still on holiday etc. Also plenty waiting to see what other offers they have before committing. We should have the players to get through this, so getting in anyone as desperate measure at the moment is a bad move in the long run IMO. |

It looks to me that a number of the players want to leave, and we just aren't able to replace them or let them go yet. The clubs a bit in limbo at the moment. |

It's obviously disappointing and I'm sure it will come good if he is backed by the board rapid style. My concern about last night is that playing Griffiths up front and Roberts wide were absolute no brainers. Or at least changing to this when we realised it wasn't working. I know he was damned if he did, damned if he didn't regards playing his only signing though. |

Really? to whom and to where ?- What Manager could ever satisfy himself that these non trying charlatans would improve his squad I'd say you probably couldn't give the carrots away at the money they're on. They honestly dont seem to enjoy playing football for a living nor do they appear to understand the importance of actually winning key matches! |

Pure speculation on my part but I think he was treating this one as a friendly, given that he experimented with Griffiths out wide. But Griffiths and Roberts were two of the better performers last season; hopefully they're utilised properly the rest of the season. |

Having trained on it they should have known it was basically impossible to play it on the deck and played ciftci and dembele up front to pump balls to all night. Horses for courses. |

This was my biggest issue with the performance. We should have known, if not before the game, then 5 minutes in that playing our usual passing game wouldn't work. We were better in the last 10 minutes when we were just hitting balls up to the forwards. Nae heart and nae brains. |

That's a fair point, but I think he has this thing about playing passing football and doesn't change it, I remember him saying when he was in charge at Swansea and Liverpool that he would never criticise players who cost goals with a bad pass out from the back if they were trying to play football. Long balls up to Demebele/Ciftci up front with Griffiths playing off them might not have looked great, but it might have avoided last night's embarrassment and got a result. Principles are fine, but results are what matters. Celtic only really looked like scoring when Ciftci came on, although Dembele did OK in the first half. At least Ciftci came on and tried to get involved and looked interested in putting up a fight. BR looked like he was having trouble believing what he was seeing last night any time he was in camera shot, genuinely shocked - like everyone else - but I don't think he bounds about and rants and raves on the touchline during games anyway. He must realise now that the job he has taken on is a far bigger challenge than he ever initially thought. Does anyone know, if Mulgrew signed a contract before the home leg, could he play ? Apologies in advance if this has been covered in the thread or elsewhere. Edited by AG67, 13 Jul 2016, 01:28 PM.

Thankfully he can't. We shouldn't offer him anything anyway. |

I did say fair, to be fair. Could he have knocked a few heads together at half time & said maybe this isnt the sort of pitch to concentrate on possession type football? Not the sort of game to be be playing at a tempo so slow? Maybe from the start, given we had no competitive games under our belts not to be feeling our way into the game but just get the job done? We've been here before - summer football isnt on the agenda so we have to hit the ground running in qualifiers which means having the right players in place to do the job. Im still of the view that the Europa comp is where we can be competitive but I think thats seen by many as lowering expectations & being complicit with the board. Fact is our squad is a mess, our recruitment over the piece with Park has been poor and the mentality in the cub has been 'just enough' for too long. All things that were true last time I had a moan about the last Euro qualifier disaster. But Rodgers deserves his share of the blame; just like I said about the last coach he is the one that has to put it right. |

I'm not saying he will be, but he does have blind spots already the same Delia had. Hopefully he will learn that Brown,Bitton,Forrest and Ambrose should be shown the door. |

He was wise not to publicly slate the players. Deila tried that and it didn't work out too well. Last night's performance had the feel of a friendly. He will have learnt plenty. |

Sorry but a effing big name marquee manager shouldn't need to "learn plenty" playing a pack of bizzies. He's meant to be the best manager we could get, he should be coasting shampoo like this. Rodgers made a effing dogs dinner of last night. Hope he bins this Griffiths out wide shampooe - he's got form for trying to turn people into something they've not got anything like the attributes to be. |
