Quoting limited to 3 levels deep
I think the idea that Dembele somehow "fits into the system" better than Griffiths is a myth. They are both equally as capable of playing upfront for us. The only time I wouldn't dispute Dembele being the absolute number 1 choice is away from home in Europe for his physicality alone, other than that it's fair game.
No, again I disagree & I think Rodgers does as well.
Well, I think Rodgers agrees with me :arrr:

Just kidding mate, we'll agree to disagree :thumbsup:

Showed again tonight why he is reluctant to play Griff and Dembele. Completely changes the balance of the side. Both players don't lpok like they compliment each other either. Time to go back to Moussa ilup top alone and use Griff if we are chasing a goal.
Or we should play the striker who's in the best form, which at the moment is Griffiths.
Moussa clearly suits Rodgers system better. He might be on a poor run of form in terms of goals but he can still add something different to the team.

No harm giving Griff the next game but get Moussa back in the team and up to speed for the huns away.
And then there's Sinclair to come back in who brings a lot to Moussas game and links up well. Interesting one unfolding.

I think tonight was another example of BR giving a different tactical idea a shot but I don't think we'll see it again. He's already said in the past how he isn't convinced by playing both I love stupid wee hunnish nicknames. and Griff in the same team which I think can be, by and large, justified. (I am bracing myself for the, quite correct, response of "BUT THE GOAL WAS THEM BOTH COMBINING" which I think says more about the adaptability and quality of the players we have than the system they were playing)

I think 3 at the back could work but not with the players we have unfortunately. And when KT is fit there is just no reason for us to switch to that unless there was some direct tactical advantage to doing so and in Scotland those occasions will be few and far between. BR's version of the 4-3-3 with a sitting DM and 2 wide winger/inside forward playing off either a skilful target man or a busy poacher works well and suits the players we have at the club. No manager in Scotland will be able to consistently beat it.

Thankfully it's neither Moussassin nor The Griffelo that's been blacklisted, good Timmy nicknames!

Just seen that Brendan has the best start domestically of any Celtic manager ever after tonight's win. Beat MON start and hopefully he can build on it. Well done

Don't worry, i've committed myself in for a lashing (which is something they actually do here).

I'll learn my lesson.

Away from formations for a wee bit, here is an article about BR and his involvement with a charity.

We'll need to learn how to play different ways, otherwise we'll get eaten alive in the CL. People know how we play now, we have to be capable of mixing it up. The learning experience will be too much for some fans but the patience will pay dividend. Last night we got the job done against the most defensive side we've seen in quite some time, next time Brendan tries something different I think most will understand why.

Predictability eventually destroys good sides, ive confidence that Brendan will experiment, he will be fluid and it will be worth any growing pains as these players learn and improve as their horizons are broadened.
