Team selection was wrong. That said, he changed it at halftime and we were fairly comfortable for the 2nd half. The worry is the severe dip in form of several top performers last season, notably Armstrong - who was worse than anonymous and Sinclair who looks completely bereft of confidence. |

How many playing tonight, were Brendan's signings? He needs backing from the board to bring in players who can play the system he uses. A few of the present team really struggle to adapt to Brendans style, and it takes time to replace them. |

Why did he even start Sinclair and Armstrong who have been off the boil this whole season?, why did he start Moussa who has been injured most of the season and although has scored goals has also been off the boil, does MD only turn up for big games??? Although didn't even kick his own arse tonight! His tactics and team selection was bad tonight so I think I can criticise him, he was brought in to improve our record in europe instead the only records he has improved have been negative ones...Red Imps, highest home loss, highest away loss, most games without at home in the CL ect ect, so sorry If I criticise his performances in Europe |

Strasbourg beat that PSG team at the weekend. We lost 5-0 at home to them. 7-1 away. Anderlecht had more chances v bayern than us, at Celtic Park they played Coman up front instead of lewandoski and still won. Last year we lost 2-0 at home to a gladbach team who sacked their manager not long after. Almost any other pot3 team in the last few yrs and we're finishing 4th. Need to be more pragmatic in europe. |

The players who haven’t lost in 66 domestic games under Rodgers haven’t adapted to his style? You sure about that? |

Honestly???? he's been given praise everywhere for improving RD's "squad" and everyone is in awe of how he's managed to improve them so much that we've pumped Scotland rotten, so how come he can't improve them enough to be able to make 5yrd passes in Europe....two of his signings were pish tonight one came on and was the best player on the park! If he didn't think he has the backing of the board he wouldn't be here. |

Maybe just maybe Scottish football is well below the standard which European football is. |

Don’t understand why people are getting upset at our CL record. If and when we qualify we are a pot 4 team. Every team we play should really be beating us. The super elite like Barca, PSG etc are miles ahead of us. Anderlecht should have beaten us since they are a pot 3 team. Realistically unless the draw is really kind to us then EL qualification is a great result for us. This season we have achieved that so Brendan and the team have done well. However our performances have been so poor that we look unlikely to go any further. The board like to broadcast the good news about what we earn from CL participation but we really need to see some decent investment in bringing in a couple of players who would make us a better European team. |

Aye because under MON, Strachan and Lennon the standard of Scottish football was far higher

I missed the unbeaten domestic seasons under those. It’s a lot easier for our players to play the way the do in Scotland than in Europe. That’s an undeniable fact. We don’t get pressed like European sides press us. The opposition isn’t as sharp or technically as proficient in Scotland. The gap is huge. |

CGAF about the unbeaten run. MON was up against a doped Huns team with some seriously good players |

It has always been the case ffs, but even when teams in Scotland press us high we tend to struggle as BR has only one way to play football. I'm as delighted as any other fan that we've went 67 games unbeaten but in that time we have made so many negative records in European competitions . Do you think that St Johnstone were of a better quality when we beat Barca? Were Ross County playing tikka takka when we beat Milan ect ect Maybe Scottish football has fallen more than the European quality has risen and that's the reason we're 67 unbeaten domestically rather than going 10 games without a home win in Europe (6 of which he has been the manager btw) |

Listen to his post match analysis he is clearly under no illusion some of the players can’t cut it at this level. For me it’s about how good our scouting department is as we need to upgrade on quality not quantity look at shifting Gamboa, Sviatchenko and one of Armstrong/Mcgregor. I also think a replacement for Roberts in January would wise. |
