Also this should also stop the board from foisting the cheap option on us again.

I recall declarations in the summer that it should be understandable if he did not make it with this squad. Well, he effing well has and still with the complaining. Mistakes made that he has to learn from of course, but frankly I don't give an eff how we have gotten there. We just have. He can sort it out for the groups by getting a couple more players in the door.

Well played. It's what we wanted and hoped for. And That Israeli mob were better than Malmo and Maribor. Comfortably.
Obviously well played in general. Not tonight
No they weren't. We were just awful from the first whistle.

You can't buy luck and we'll always need a wee dawd of it to qualify for the CL.

Did well to change things in second half, he could have done with subbing about half the team tonight so he obviously wasn't going to get all the changes spot on. I do worry about Biton, he slows us down and is one paced when defending. I like 3 at the back, just need a good defensive mid, a good right back who can run and defend and a creative type up front to boost our attack options. Thanks Brendan, who achieved more than i expected for in Europe this year and tonight apart we are playing some nice attacking football.

Tonight's result Takes a lot of pressure of the manager. All he has to do now is win the league ( we should go this at a canter ) and the season will be viewed as a success 👍

Wrong team choice and wrong subs tonight, but his change to 3 (5?) at the back, meant we were able to soak up the pressure pretty easily for the last 20 minutes.

Well done Brendan, great achievement to qualify at the first attempt.

I'm quite worried however that he didn't see what an absolute nightmare Janko was having and didn't sub him after half an hour. What game was he watching.

Made mistakes.

Will learn from them where his predecessor did not.

Party on.

First signs of some strange decisions, but the change to a back three got us home safe tonight.

As others have said, it really is no mean feat qualifying for the CL in his first season with that squad.

His signings - Kolo and Sinclair - were stand outs tonight. Now needs to be backed with some of that sweet, sweet Uefa dough.

I think we are all pretty much agreed that janko wax dreadful and starting him was a bad move. However I fairness to rodgers we don't really k ow if he and any alternative. O'Connell has been shaky in the last two games and maybe Eric wasn't fit for 90 minutes.
I thought all his subs improved matters for us (not really that hard given that forrest and McGregor were terrible). Going to a five at tbe end got is through. And in the end that is what counts - we are through and rodgers got us there.

Once we have all calmed down, in about a day or two, I think we will reflect on this and see the performance as a blessing. McGregor not good enough for europe, Gordon not confident enough, Bitton no bottle when it really matters and Janko way out of his depth. The rest of the team can be worked on.
Brendan can now see this and surely the board will now back him to sign a defender and a midfielder.

Well done.

At the end of last season even getting to the EL was in doubt.

Done much more than could have been expected with a group of players who are mentally fragile.

The board need to back him to the hilt.

This time next year we should have a squad who will be more than equipped to deal with the qualification process.

This is our chance to become mainstays at the top table.
