I won't be judging Brendan Rodgers on Barcelona drubbing us at the Nou Camp.
I know there was a lot of guys/girls on here expecting draws etc but we were always likely to get completely pumped tonight.
Barcelona are magnificent.
Would like him to ditch the goalie though. This.

I understand why he felt a back five would be a good option, I would have preferred to have had a go at them with our three up front and a back four, dropping back into a 5 in midfield when we lost the ball but in reality our midfield isn't good enough to allow us to do that. We could certainly cause them problems going forward at home.

Think Sinclair will be on next pen we get. Lots for BR to learn from for future squad enchancements I don't agree. has had a good hit rate on penalties since he came, also seems very confident but, sorry, no one is going to score all of the time especially in an environment like that where he isn't in front of our own fans and the goalie is doing his utmost to put him off. Could probably have done without the run-up beforehand but there was probably a bit of understandable tension there. The guy is only 20, he is also only human, to take him off penalty duties on the basis of a missed penalty at Barca* would be counterproductive and would serve to dent his confidence and I'd be surprised if BR did that. He is all about getting players to believe in themselves so, if is still confident enough in a similar situation to step up, he will be taking them I think. 
I agree on your last point though.

*Lest we forget, he didn't actually "miss", their keeper got a hand to it and conceded a corner.

Got it wrong tonight. Should have took the Stanley to the plane tires before take off or as a last resort prayed for some Manchester biblical rain.
Rodgers out!!

Would like him to ditch the goalie though. We need to try and get third. Europe after Christmas might help us in January window. We need a midfielder and another few Brendan signings. Brendan Rodgers is an attack minded manager. That is clear as day. Perhaps he needs to rethink the defensive side and find a coach with decent experience to help, but I would far rather Brendan Rodgers and his football than Davie Moyes or any of the others who were mentioned. No, we still aim to the knockout stages. On that performance tonight, Barca are well capable of destroying everyone in this group. Man City have some top players and have spent a lot of money but they are no Barca. I still think we are more than capable of picking up points at home and in Manchester. Don't really know too much about the German mob (not even going to attempt to spell that one ) but they are there on merit to so it won't be easy, again though, I don't think they are anywhere near Barca. If we are to finish third then so be it but we must aim to get out of the group otherwise we could end up finishing 4th. We've got to keep going in these games with a belief that we can get to the knockout stage, we certainly can't dwell on tonight. There will be an analysis of it, knowing BR's attention to detail, there is bound to be but aside from that, we have to bounce back from it and get on with the next challenges ahead.

Don't think anyone expected to win tonight but no Celtic team should ever be conceding seven goals in one game. Embarrassing result for Rodgers to have on his CV and he needs to learn fast when you think we've got free-scoring Man City up next.
He didn't lose 7-0 against just anyone for eff sake. He lost against arguably the greatest team ever. Not one club will pay even the remotest attention to that. Kidding yourself on if you think they will. Exactly. BR has been in management and coaching what? 20 years or so? And we were told tonight that was his heaviest defeat. I think his CV will be just fine. Not that I think he will be needing it for a while in any case.

Dembele's penalty was poor. I don't agree. 
But then I'm looking at it in the context of where he was playing tonight and the fact that this can have an effect especially as he is still very young. I think that is forgotten easily sometimes. I still have every confidence that, more often than not, he will convert them.

whatever about picking up points at home , Brown and Bitton against De Bruyne and Silva at the Etihad gives me the fear That's OK as long as the players are, as BR put it before, fearless. Personally, I don't fear anyone, we are Celtic, we are not just there to make up the numbers. Yes we took a hiding tonight, that won't happen every time.

I actually thought the idea was correct the night formation wise. But you can't govern for a team that can distribute,press and out skill you barca can.
Deep breaths and on to the ICT game.

Deep breaths and on to the ICT game. Exactly, when I saw Gamboa was starting, I thought that he must be putting in at centre back to make a back 5. We did it to excellent effect v Hapoel but it was always going to be a different proposition playing against Barca.

BRENDAN Rodgers was disappointed but not downhearted after Celtic were undone by a brilliant Barcelona side in the Nou Camp in their UEFA Champions League opening group match.
The La Liga side and their galaxy of stars were in imperious form and ruthlessly put the Hoops to the sword, scoring seven times without reply.
Their fantastic front-three did most of the damage - Lionel Messi scored a hat-trick, Luis Suarez bagged a brace and Neymar found the target with a sublime free-kick.
Andres Inestia was the other scorer on a painful night for Scottish champions, though few sides would have lived with the La Liga champions on this sort of form.
Moussa Dembele did have a penalty saved by Marc-Andre ter Stegen in the 24th minute when the score was still 1-0 and that proved costly as Luis Enrique’s team went on to inflict serious punishment.
Speaking after the game, the manager said: “Of course professionally, it’s never nice when it happens. In the first period of the game our set-up and organisation was good.
“We gave away a goal very early which is certainly what you don’t want to do here but I felt we came back into the game. Once we got a bit of belief and confidence to actually pass the ball then we started to open up and create opportunities.
“There was a massive moment in the first half and if you get the penalty and get it to 1-1, you could make the crowd a bit nervy, especially after the weekend loss. But to then very quickly go 2-0 down was very disappointing.
“But we came in at half-time and we looked at the game and we knew the next goal was going to be very important.
“And of course they got the third goal and then there was that combination of tiredness, mixed in with their quality and freshness.
“These are top-class players and they have done that to much better teams than ourselves and by the time the game comes to an end you are frustrated and disappointed.
“You can’t be too downhearted. It doesn’t matter if we were playing Barcelona or Berwick Rangers, you are playing for professional pride and no professional likes to lose like that, even though you are playing against a team of world class players.
“We will go and reflect on the game. We have had a brilliant start to this season and this won’t hamper us in any way. We will always take the positives from it.
There is a lot of learning to be done and it’s still very early for us working together. We came into this game with little preparation time after a huge game at the weekend. We will recover and rest tomorrow and come back in Thursday and see the areas in which we can improve and get ready for our league game at the weekend.”
And the Hoops boss insisted that his young team, who have impressed so much in the early part of the campaign will improve for this harsh footballing lesson from the Catalan giants.
He said: “For our players, this competition is going to be a brilliant learning season for them in the Champions League.
“Tonight was one of those tough nights you take at this level and there can be no embarrassment because they do that to much better teams than ourselves.
“These players have been brilliant. They couldn’t have come to a more difficult place in world football after a high-intense game at the weekend which they put so much into and dealt with so much pressure and play so well.
“To have had hardly any preparation time to come and play against the world’s best at keeping the ball and tiring you out and beating you up with the football at times was a tough ask and that last 15-20 minutes probably did feel quite long.
“This is a young group of players but even the older ones will learn from it and it will make it a better team.”

Deep breaths and on to the ICT game. No, it wasn't. If he wanted to go for a back 5, one of the wingers (Roberts) should have been dropped to give us a bit of strength in the middle.
I'm a fan, but tonight was poor tactically. He has to take criticism where it's due.

They'd have pumped us anyway but I don't think he called it right tonight.
Going 5 at the back may have been a good idea but it was rendered completely pointless by playing only 2 central midfielders. Spot on, what I feared as soon as I saw the lineup.
I would also add that, and this is not just a reaction to tonight, Brendan needs to sort out the defensive side of our game regardless of how good a start he's made as Celtic manager.
In 12 competitive games we've conceded 19 goals and kept just 2 clean sheets, those being at home to Lincoln & Motherwell in the League Cup.

Hard to know what to say, hoped for better. He`ll hopefully spot that very few players in our squad have any real defensive nous outwith the CBs and Lustig. We`ll struggle to switch from all out attack at home in the SPL to any kind of useful defensive system for away Euro ties in particular.
Got his work cut out trying to come up with something that works for that squad. Hopefully it doesn`t kill our younger guys confidence or the players faith in him I thought Lustig was honking tonight and shat it on a few occasions
