I thought he'd have a job actually getting the players to really believe they had a performance like that in them. They didn't fully believe & most of the 1st half we were very, very shaky. If they'd have scored we might have crumbled... But they didn't & once we started believing, the game was there for the taking & it could've easily been 5-0.
Brendan will use this to build the player's belief in themselves & in him. It's like something out of the Matrix, with Morpheus trying to get Neo to truly believe in his abilities.. Once we truly believe, we're going to fly!!
Brendan "Morpheus" Rodgers, I effing love you!!

Watching a team being demoralised by the 70th min with our pressing and passing is the norm in Scotland. Seeing it in a European away game has filled me full of joy. Rodgers is standing on the cusp of greatness

It is now 10 years since Scottish football thought it was on the verge of a great leap forward. The national team’s 1-0 success against France was still being celebrated by the time Rangers swaggered to a 3-0 win in Lyon. Closer inspection was as worthy then as it is now; on both occasions, notwithstanding the tactical nous of Alex McLeish and Walter Smith, victory was achieved against teams who dominated the ball. There was a significance to Celtic’s 3-0 win at Anderlecht on Wednesday evening that moved beyond the reinvigoration of a Champions League campaign. Celtic, while actually well short of their best, dictated proceedings against the Belgian champions. In recent European and international history, Scottish teams have not been accustomed to such displays when away from home. In the aftermath, Brendan Rodgers was happy to highlight the value of only a second Celtic away Champions League win in 28 games. “The message I gave to the players when we came in here 15 months ago was: ‘Lots of people will tell you what you can’t do,’” Celtic’s manager explained. “We set about trying to focus and concentrate on breaking as many records as we could and creating our own history. Of course, it is very, very difficult but let’s create our own history. This is an incredible club that has a great past but we have to really concentrate on the future and not worry so much about that. “I think over the past 12 months you can see the improvement. It is a huge jump in level into the Champions League but I think it is pretty clear to see how the players are developing and improving. To come away and get a 3-0 victory, play that well after such a big game at the weekend [against Rangers] really shows how the players have grown and are believing at this level.” Those on the outside may have similar sentiment. Celtic’s domestic run – they are 57 matches unbeaten – is rather taken for granted to the extent that the opposition is widely disregarded. Success on the bigger stage will lift acknowledgement of Celtic’s talent and, naturally, that of Rodgers. “Fifty-seven games domestically is very tough to do, considering the number of games you play where the opponent will always pick up the game 10-15%,” Rodgers added. “The players have had to stand up to that whilst playing at a really high level consistently. But of course, you come into the Champions League; I think people recognise this is a good side that is developing well but you come away to a club with a great history like Anderlecht, who got to the quarter-finals of the Europa League last year, and to come and play to that level, to be as convincing as that, I think of course people recognise that as: ‘Actually, they are a very good team.’” Rodgers thus far refuses to contemplate or discuss back-to-back meetings with Bayern Munich, which should determine whether Celtic are Europa League participants after Christmas or have designs on the Champions League last 16. Beyond, that is, a general warning: “We will get better as the group goes on.” What can be said with confidence is that the manner of the win in Belgium has instilled fresh belief into a squad which remains relatively inexperienced in Champions League terms. “We won, not with relative ease but with a real good professionalism, with players who look like they belong at the level,” said Rodgers. “And more importantly, with an actual game model that allows you to think you can at least play well at this level. Players comfortable on the ball, players making angles, offensively looking a threat and tactically they were outstanding; blocking lines of pass, really pressing the game. That all starts from the pressure up front from Leigh Griffiths, who was outstanding. “That gives me pleasure, that gives me confidence. There have been a lot of milestones along the journey but each one you tick off is great. To get our first Champions League win away, to keep a clean sheet, the first in so many years, is really pleasing.” Rodgers altered an earlier plan to introduce Stuart Armstrong in Brussels, with the midfield substitute incurring a calf problem. Armstrong is, though, expected to be fit for the meeting with Hibernian on Saturday. Deeper concern – including for Scotland – surrounds the fitness of Scott Brown: the Celtic captain is to undergo scans on a hamstring injury. https://www.theguardian.com/brendan-rodgers-celtic-anderlecht

CELTIC chief Peter Lawwell says the job Brendan Rodgers has done with a squad mainly featuring players from Ronny Deila’s reign has been INCREDIBLE.
The Hoops stormed to their first Champions League group stage away win in FIVE years after their 3-0 rout of Anderlecht.
Leigh Griffiths, Patrick Roberts and Scott Sinclair all scored in a stunning win over the Belgians.
Victory keeps Brendan Rodgers’ men’s hopes of European football after Christmas alive.
And Lawwell, who was delighted with the result, hailed the remarkable job Rodgers has done since arriving at the club.
He told STV: “It was a fantastic, mature European performance so we’re delighted.
“And it was against a club you can really benchmark and measure yourself against.
“I think we came out with flying colours.
“It’s been remarkable, the majority of the players that appeared for the first team each week and appeared last night were at Celtic with Ronny before Brendan came.
“So he’s done an incredible job, he’s an outstanding manager and outstanding coach, and I’m delighted for him.
“The amount of work he puts in, the coaches put in, the way the players have developed and the way they are performing, it’s been remarkable really.”

Some on here have questioned Lawwell mentioning that Brendan is succeeding with what is largely Ronny D's side.
But maybe he knows his history and is quietly alluding to Jock Stein's success with what was, still, in 1967 James McGrory's misfiring team of less than two years before?

He could easily have replaced Ntcham at half-time but didnt-despite the wonder pass for our first- he had a shocker of a first half.
Had he done that he could easily have damaged the player's confidence for who knows how long?
Ntcham went onto a great 2nd half and was a key player by the end.
Excellent man management and patience.

Excellent man management and patience. Ntcham had plenty of positive moments in the first half, but it's easy to miss or forget them when the ball's bouncing off him, or he's bulleting a pass right out of play for a goal kick
The positives did still exist though, in between the dodgier moments

BRENDAN RODGERS cursed Scotland’s luck after Scott Brown and Stuart Armstrong suffered World Cup injury agony. The Hoops midfield duo have been ruled OUT of the vital double-header against Slovakia and Slovenia next week. Brown pulled up with a hamstring injury against Anderlecht, while a calf knock ruled Armstrong out of the Belgian game. And Rodgers revealed they are touch and go to face Bayern Munich on October 18 in the Champions League. He said: “We will see for Bayern. Hopefully they will be back, but if not then certainly for Hibs semi-final. “Stuart just felt it in the warm-up and then he tried in the game he tried to go out and warm-up but it was too stiff. So it’s really unfortunate. “Browny is a recurrence of an injury he had maybe 18 months ago at the top of his hamstring. It’s really, really unfortunate. “I’ve tried to look after the players, which you have seen. We have played a lot of games and people wonder why you make changes. “But you’re always trying to manage the availability of a player. “Someone like Browny is better in rhythm, so the more games he plays the better he is and his body is used to it. “Guys like Stu you see becoming a full international now, that’s not just a physical loading on him but a mental loading as well. “I’ve tried to manage that since the summer really, because of so many games.” It is a massive blow for Scotland gaffer Gordon Strachan – and Celtic boss Rodgers was full of sympathy. He said: “It’s just absolutely so unlucky for Celtic but also for Scotland, which is a huge loss. “I’m obviously disappointed for them and the frustration is that they are not like six-week injuries either. “They are injuries which are probably a few weeks, all being well. It’s just the window of this week. “I’m really disappointed for the boys because I see what it means to them. “When I speak with the players, ALL the Scotland boys want to go with Scotland. “That’s not always the case at international level. I’ve had experiences in my managerial career where players don’t want to go with their countries. “But all the boys want to go with Scotland. They enjoy the environment they are in with Gordon, Mark McGhee and the staff, and secondly they are very patriotic. “They want to do well for Scotland. And of course when there is an influx of them there you want them to do well because they are representing their club side as well. “And I also look and see the time that’s gone by since Scotland last qualified. “I would like Scotland to do well as a nation and get back to producing players and getting back to some of these finals.” https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/brown-stuart-armstrong-doubt

Or he is drawing attention to the fact that in his previous- and entirely unofficial- role as Director of Football he had signed a load of good players. Ronny was pretty useless and couldn't get the best out of them. But now with a proper manager they are playing to their potential. So he is vindicated.

Thought Rodgers sent out the wrong team on Saturday especially when we were without the driving force of Scott Brown in midfield.
The team that finished the game should have started with the possible exception of Griffiths as Dembele needs time on the park.
Eduard was worse than a man short and it was made more difficult for him by being up front with an unfit partner and a midfield that was never going to give him any service.

Roberts and Sinclair aren't playing internationals so shouldn't have been rested.
