We *shouldn't* get a doing from anyone at home but I do worry about our last game away at City..... Hopefully they're qualified safely by then and can field a weakened team

Nobody said he was a dick. He got it wrong on Tuesday night with an unfamiliar back line that included a player just in the door and making his club debut, and presided over a humiliation. Furthermore, his confidence in his new goalkeeper is not being borne out by evidence on the park. Edited by The Plainsman, 15 Sep 2016, 12:04 PM.

Can't argue with any of that but he's not long in the job, early qualifiers and only started building his team. I think he'll get there in Europe but maybe not this time. He won't want too many more humpings on his CV. Neither do I

Don't expect him to beat Barcelona, City home or away. Its what we do against the Germans that will determine if we finish 3rd, Even that I don't mind. Brendan Rodgers champions league campaign was a success the minute we qualified. Regardless of what happens in the 6 games after. The team and Celtic overall is in the best shape its been in for years. Don't let a hammering at the best team in the world tell you otherwise |

That'd be against the rules - one team can't try to influence another club's team selection |

Can't see it at work on this shampooty computer but we definitely set up with 4 at the back. I also remember Lenny getting Kudos for being brave to go with two up top. |

On paper we should probably be losing every game in this group, so I wouldn't use it as a stick to beat him with. I think I would prefer us to go with the 4-2-3-1 in every game from now on. We seem to play our best football in that formation and we are more compact given the extra bodies in midfield. |

If your '2' is Bitton and Brown we will be losing every CL game |

With what we've got and what we're up against, I can't see anything other than a compact, busy 3 in central midfield being the best approach for these games against superior teams. Sacrificing one of these to go to a back 5 you'd think won't be experimented with again - the unfortunate thing is it means I don't see a way to accommodate Rogic. I'd think it would have to be Brown, Bitton and McGregor/Armstrong. So no Rogic unless a winger's getting dropped. |

I actually think Rogic in the middle would be a better bet, can use his body better to get the ball out of tighter spots and will spot a ball to our wide/front men a lot quicker. |

One of the good things that BR has brought is the ability to change formations to suit the circumstances. It's paid off well on a number of occasions so far. I wouldn't like to see us go back to playing one system week in, week out, as we did under RD. It would make us much more predictable and easy to play against. |

Yeah they result was good but the performance wasn't great. I'm not having a go at him. I'm more than happy with what he's done so far - just feel we need to start being better away from home. He's had 4 bites at the cherry now. |

Yes, a 'busy' 3 in central midfield (Brown, Armstrong and Henderson) would be good with Rogic just sitting in front of them and Sinclair and Dembele running the channels up front. Bring on Roberts at some point and McGregor/Biton. Risky with Henderson but we don't have much choice. |
