This is the best Celtic side since the days of MO'N. We've been handed 2 absolute thumpings under Rodgers. Poorer Celtic sides have been more competitive. I recall being scundered after losing 3-0 at home to Juve. Is Rodgers being naive in Europe or is this just indicitave of the gulf in finances in modern football? |

It's a bit of both. Also the players these days believe the hype and seem awestruck by these teams. |

The defence was his Achilles at Liverpool too. it might be the best team but it's far from the best defence. Even at full strength we should have upgraded at CB to give at least three at the jozo, boyata level. Ajer will never get there or erik. |

I think this team is better than Lennons best side but the difference is Rodgers wants to try and play football and go toe to toe and when we do it with the very best we invarably get pumped. |

His inability to sign any defender all summer has been brutally exposed. |

Much like Barca away, we decided to sit off and let PSG play pretty football triangles round us and stand and admire them. When we then got the ball, we'd make maybe 2-3 passes then immediately gift possession back. When we actually got the ball in a dangerous area, we were surrounded by 4 PSG players and not a single green shirt to be seen. We didn't have any sort of plan. Did we want to counter them? Or were we wanting to keep possession? Too many players were contradicting each other in their movements. |

We can't really progress if we constantly just put 10 behind the ball in Europe. You either have a philosophy or you don't. BR wants to play a certain way and eventually that is what will get us further than just qualifying for the groups. Blood and snotters isn't going to hack it. We will improve, as we did last year. KTF. |

Think that is unfair personally. His tactics cost us again Barcelona, and maybe Gladbach at home last year, but he tried to defend today. PSG's front three is maybe the best in football. Their fullbacks maybe the best available. Centre backs are brilliant. Verratti was Barcelonas top target in the summer because he might be the best centre mid out there. They'll beat better teams than us, whether we sat 11 behind the ball or went gung-ho |

Give me hard to beat over some half baked philosophy the players are either incapable or too scared to implement every day of the week. Strachan, O'Neill and Lennon all knew what it took to get Celtic to compete in Europe and it wasn't going toe to toe with some of the best in the world in the hope that some years down the line it will click in to place. |

The gulf in class is such that 5-4-1 is the only option against sides like this |

A total crock of shampoo BR got us into the Cl with an amateur back four v Astana where we collapsed v diddies And having got us the money He got the square root of eff all support to strengthen the defence A rb at centre half and a boy with 8 appearances v Neymar The twats on our board don't have an effin clue and repeatedly do not support our manager Lennon left cause of no support and sure as eff BR will do too But PL is on the ECA so whoop di do |

Tactics cost in Barcelona? Please We were losing that game no matter what. Yes we have suffered some big defeats up against the elite but that's the nature of European football for clubs in similar positions to us. Better sides than us will get hammered by PSG. |

We're capable of pressing. Look at Man City at home. We shat it tonight. Again. I'd happily take a pumping if we were actually pressing them and they pass through us. That didn't happen though. Far too passive and shipping avoidable goals. |
