Very happy with what Rodgers has done with this team so far, we've not brought many players in so we're still working with predominantly last years squad but the difference is phenomenal. Long may it continue. I like the way he speaks, about the team, about the club and about the fans, he knows what it means to be a Celtic manager and its clear he won't tolerate the same levels of pish from Lawwell as Deila and perhaps Lennon did. |

It's a wee thing, but it's nice to hear him talk about getting the ball to wide players further up the park. Might sound simple, but so many teams fail at it. |

Goalkeeper and centre mid the glaring weaknesses looking at that squad list on the last page. Could do with offloading Ambrose, Boyata, Johansen, GMS, Commons and probably Henderson on loan again. Edited by FatherSpliffmas, 11 Aug 2016, 12:16 PM.

He's brought three players in that look to have improved the first XI straight away. And there's a few from last year playing better than they were. He is also flexible and responsive during games and is therefore teaching his squad to be the same. It's too early to go nuts but there's a helluva lot more positive than negative right now. I for one, am excited at the thought if a team who potentially start with Roberts, Sinclair, Rogic, Dembele and Griffiths in it. That's very attacking and we may not see all five start but they are all players who, in the last ten games or so, have produced very exciting moments of attacking football. Roberts and Sinclair starting in the same game will prove a headache for any defence. The defence still has to get a few back (probably including the best one) and settle into a regular back four. And apparently he yet wants another 2 in to give him the team and resources he envisaged to realise his intended style. Good times. |

He's not a miracle worker, just an experienced manager with a CV that's a very good fit for Celtic. The players are clearly buying into his methods because, unlike his predecessor, he's already managed a big club at a much higher level. From day one, Ronny Deila was out of his depth at Celtic and it didn't take the players long to figure out that he was bluffing it. |

What did he say?In the post match interview all he said was that he's hoping to get 2 more players in before the window closes (no mention of a CL playoff wildcard signing) but if we didn't manage to get them he's content with the squad he has. |

So far I'm incredibly impressed by Rodgers. Everything I'd hoped for and more. There's something of Mourinho about him, in that he really has a philosophical basis for working the way that he does. You can see that he really believes it is his duty as the Celtic manager to be a real figurehead for the club, from the preparation for matches through to coming out and giving in-depth interviews on TV which provide an explanation to the supporters of what he is trying to do. There's almost as much PR strategist there as football coach, and it's fascinating to watch. I just read an article there where he states that, as part of a dossier provides to the players ahead of each game, which largely deals with the opponent, they are also provided with analysis of the referee's last 35 games. If this is true then I don't think we've ever seen anything so meticulous in Scottish football. But it's not only the act of proving such detailed information, I think key for BR is the impression that it is leaving on players, is the supporters, other teams, and the media. It's telling them all we'll be doing our homework, you won't get the better of us lightly. And that's even with having the best squad in the country. Something tells me that Celtic for Brendan Rodgers is almost like Porto was for Mourinho. Sure, it's coming later in his career and with more experience under his belt -only good for us - but I really think he wants to lift the club back up to that level of competition, and for him to be the man to do it. I honestly think that if he does for Celtic what he's looks like being capable of, we will be lucky to hold on to him for more than 2 seasons, 3 if we're lucky. And that's fine, because if a huge club in England (not many) or the continent come sniffing, he'll likely have produced fantastic results here. Not everything always turns out the way you hope, we won't have everything our own way and there will be road bumps to negotiate, but I'm honestly starting to believe that Brendan Rodgers' time here could be even more special than MON. He's younger than MON when he arrived, more experienced than MON, more organised and detailed. He has far more than MON, as brilliant as he was. We're exceptionally fortunate to be where we are. This is going to be good. Edited by modest mouse, 11 Aug 2016, 01:01 PM.

Any manager who can attract that level of talent up here is a class act, and getting Scott Sinclair at the same time is the icing on the cake. |

They both started as managers in 2008. If there's any measurable difference in experience beyond their equal time spent as managers, it's because one if them has gone on to prove himself more capable than the other, no?

It's quite funny reading a host of posters, who 6 months ago were advocating giving Ronny Deila more time, now recognising the difference a competent manager can make. It's brilliant to see the turnaround in the club. |

Whilst I'm quietly optimistic and yeah, that aggressive pressing of the game and constant passing and movement reminded me a lot of MON's Celtic, we're a long way from Seville. Getting huge results in Europe is no easy task. It's one game at a time for me at this stage. |

Great to see a proper experienced manager in charge. The previous two should never have been appointed as they both lacked the requisite experience for a club our size. To his credit Lenny did a reasonable job but Ronnie was just too far out of his depth! Last night was very good but we need to stay grounded. At Swinecastle, second half we were struggling let's not kid ourselves. That might have been the midweek game catching up but it happened and Sinclair got us out of jail! Really hope that one of the two Brendan is talking about is a savvy midfield killer to sort out the cloggers that we come up against! |

MON took us to our first European final in 30 odd years. Brendan Rodgers is one league game into his tenure. Can we please calm it with the hyperbole? It was the same with Deila not long after the Inter/Huns games, when he was being hailed as a visionary: "Look at how fit all the players look/you can tell from him giving some talk to an audience of managers that he really understands the psychology of players/he's building something great here/Armstrong and GMS were such astute signings blah blah blah" Rodgers has made a fantastic start, brought a real buzz back to the place and signed some quality players. It's all good so far. But lets not get carried away. Edited by 20Glasgow_Bhoy06, 11 Aug 2016, 02:24 PM.

RAWK is a effing nightmare to work mate.Delighted at how positive everyone is here. Even more delighted that Rodgers seems to have really taken a step back and looked at his Anfield mistakes. He's looking like the guy Liverpool hired rather than the one they got. Brilliant. I know I keep saying this but it is good to see the guy looking far more comfortable. Reminds me of the Brendan that was in the title run-in that year. In his element at the moment - the interesting part will be to see how he deals with the first major setback. I think he's got it in him to handle it up here no bother. Seems to have the whole league eating out his effing hands .
