The biggest difference in our defending is seen in the possession stats.

We keep the ball very, very well now.

Long term I think the impact Rodgers is having on our squad, and the way we play the game could lead to a serious upturn in the fortunes of the Scottish National Team, especially if we manage to turn a few of our academy players in to first team regulars
The other big difference is our pressing.
I was thinking this myself.If he gets to 10iar we would be on 52, with der hun on 54. Could he see himself taking us past them?

Not to get ahead of myself but I genuinely think BR will end up eclipsing Stein.
Easy Tiger. :lol:

MON maybe.

How does that work on legitimately earned titles as opposed to corrupt unjustified titles?

Have no doubt he will see us to 10iar.

Even then I think he will only leave for a decent sized european club.

No disrespect to our previous managers, but theres no way he is leaving to end up at a Bolton or Middlesborough etc

He's a far better manager than MON. It isn't even close, IMO.

Technically, that's correct, but whether he turns out to be a better Celtic manager than MON, only time will tell. He has his work cut out.

I think he will but it depends on what people expect from him now that the the gulf in football is larger than ever before. We won't reach a European final but, it's worth noting, that we also won't have a genuine world class player like Larsson leading us there so a bit of perspective will be needed on that one.

If he leads us to 10IAR, continues to take us into the group stages and dominating all before us domestically playing such a brilliant style of football I would have to say he'll have eclipsed MON purely in Celtic manager terms. His overall impact on the entire club can't be understated either.

BR believes the Europa League is within our reach. Having watched the final last season, he's not wrong.

What cannot be understated is just how far Rangers were in front of us when MON took over Celtic.

Do you really believe a Euro final is outwith our reach?

Ajax got to the final last year, I would say we are at the very least as good a side as them.

That's what sets MON apart, he took on a cheating, whoring Hun juggernaut and effectively put them in their grave. I like that.

Instantly.

He knew what was needed to beat them and did. And of course he didn't just annihilate what was in front of him on the field, he was unaware of the cheating off it.

I effing loved MON

Ajax look utter guff and they made the final. They were just beat 1-0 at home by Rosenborg.

I know its pretty much accepted he will be off when his contract is up but say the last year of his contract we had actually made a good dent in Europe and he was promised the cash to take us that extra yard needed. Would he extended for another year or 2? He has said himself hes got another 20 years coaching in him so its not like he has to worry about the clock at this stage in his career.

Bawman hit the nail on the head earlier in the thread; a big game manager. World class.

Oh and for any huns lurking, he's here for 10 in a row. :rocker:

Indeed. The season before he took over we were what, 21 points behind oldco...they spent the sort of fortunes that would lead to their death and MON's rapid turnaround of the club's fortunes caught them out, they completely underestimated him. That doesn't detract from BR's achievements. We'll get to a point where a Europa League run to the semin finals and final are not beyond us. Our possession under pressure last night was very good, confidence is high, away matches are no longer a foregone conclusion.

MON kicked it into gear on the park.
