All in all he got it right last night. Had no choice with the starting 11. When big calls where needed he got them absolutely spot on.
Once he gets his own players into this team I am sure we will see a fast attacking team that will get us on the edge of our seats. Once he gets his own players into this team
IF, you mean. IF.

From BBC website BR talking about O'Connell and defence in general.
"I thought he was outstanding," he said. "For a young player, he has been on the fringes for a few years, coming into that environment, under pressure, he had very few mistakes in the game.
"You would expect him to make some as a young player but he coped in a very difficult situation."
On the poor marking for the Astana goal, Rodgers added: "I think there has been an issue there with set-pieces, long before I came in.
"Over the course of the pre-season, we defended them well in the main but it is an element that we have to be better at and it is something we will reiterate to the players.
"They had to cope with a long ball, they were quite direct at times and a high percentage of times we dealt quite well with it but we need to ensure that our concentration is 100%."
BR sees the problem quickly and tries to deal with it. Toure alone should make a big difference in the return leg.
Is Kennedy still the defensive coach? If so, I would say it is time for a change in that area. We should get in an experienced defensive coach who can sort us out at set pieces. Has Kennedy ever been appointed as defensive coach? It only seems to be on Celtic websites I see him labeled this. Think that's due to him being an ex defender more than anything.
Funnily enough he was a coach when we had our best defensive record in decades in Deilas first season. Tends to get overlooked though.

Think its been more to do with the quality of players in the time hes been coaching than his coaching ability. He had two of our best centre halfs in recent times at his disposal in VVD and Denayer in Ronnys first year, and last year we never really had a settled pairing and only Sviatchenko looked up to it. Still very young for a coach, think the club are trying to develop him. He'll learn a lot from Rodgers this year

I am not saying he won't turn out to be a good coach given time but if (and perhaps he isn't) he is our defensive coach then we need better.

Didn't like the starting eleven but he changed it when he saw it wasn't working. Bitton gave us the ability to keep and pass the ball and we improved from there.
Interestingly, he took off our three worst performing players. Spot on, let's hope this continues.

He'll learn a lot from Rodgers this year All true so you could also argue the case that he was working with not very much last season? Think too many people use Kennedy as a scapegoat for what happened last season imo, BR wanted to keep him so that bodes well for confidence in his ability

Spot on yesterday Brendan, brilliant. Really hard game and the kind of banana skin that would trip a lot of managers up. Given the state of the squad and his own problems in European football in the past, I have to admit I was worried. Showed balls to change it up when we were faltering and it worked a treat. Thought 3 at the back played into their hands a little but, but he countered that well and really we came out of that as good as could be expected without a win.
Well played! Strong result and he's had a pretty effective recovery in terms of performances since the LRI first leg. Brilliant.

Will this actually be a season where we're not absolutely mystified by team selection and substitutions on a weekly basis?

It will be great to sit watching substitutions and think "that makes sense".

I agree. The point of the post was about BR and his willingness to change what he sees is wrong, whether that is during a match or otherwise. If Kennedy is responsible for defence or not is by the by. Ultimately it is BR's call and if Kennedy is part of the problem I have faith he will change staff too.

Fully agree with that, he did what he had to do and got it right. And he writes things down in a wee jotter. I like a manager who is fond of a jotter.

He may be finished and if he is I'm not sure Rodgers would jeopardise his Celtic career for one player. However , there isn't much choice beyond Brown in that position just now, three weeks into our season.

BR uses a wee jotter thing that looks like it's usually used for keeping score in crazy golf
