Strange people, the club they utterly despise are 4 months away from winning 7 in a row & they are on our forums. I can safely say had high speed internet existed in 1996 I wouldn't have been going anywhere near their message boards, it's like a form of self harming. |

Seems to be a feature of Rodgers' Celtic that we play a few players far more often than is healthy for the players or the team. We've been very lucky, in particular, that Brown has shown superhuman stamina over the past couple of seasons - and when he's been out, we've badly missed him. None of the existing squad or new signings has yet proven to be an adequate replacement, so when Brown's fit, he plays, and the team's better for it - but for how much longer will he last? Almost 18 months ago, BR signed backups (de Vries and Gamboa) for 2 of the 4 players mentioned below - yet neither has convinced BR to play him regularly - so Lustig in particular has run himself into the ground for club & country (imo, he's now done, but hope to be proven wrong). I'm struggling to believe that either Gamboa or de Vries is so poor (*) that they couldn't have played more games, allowing BR to rest Lustig and Gordon enough to keep them mentally and physically fresh. Having good enough backups and not using them seems like an obvious and easily solved weakness in our squad and season management. * Camp Nou horror show aside, has either been really and uniquely terrible in their rare appearances against normal opposition? |

Rodgers keeps the same team because the players he's bought aren't as good. That's his fault I'm afraid . |

It was aye but there were 5 players who started against Astana too, it was a good mix and the kids at the back were excellent. |

kinda true but even at that theres still been more room for changes without upsetting us too much even the times calvin miller played, tierney was moved inside instead of getting a rest still think our issues in attack are costing us as much as at the back, last season when you had likes of dembele, sinclair, roberts, rogic fit and on form we kept the ball and were able to keep the defence from being exposed. definitely need at least one attacker brought in and hope roberts and rogic come back fit |

Toure anaw for what he was here to do. The only first teamer he's signed that didn't work was DDV - the rest have been punts and backups. |

Amid all the talk about the players and being tired/jaded etc, I'll bet Brendan Rodgers is also tired. Ask yourself, since he joined the club in May 2016, how much actual time off has he had? Can't be conducive to good management to be "on the job" so intensively for so long. |

Can imagine the prep work. Itinerary, video reviews of previous rides, positional analysis, masseuse in beforehand, file outlining strengths and weaknesses and both wearing one of they wee sports bras with the GPS and heart monitor in them. |

It was the League Cup game where KT scored that screamer from outside the box. I went along as I was off work that week and we played really well, especially Kouassi. Some of the mainstays of the team look knackered so we need to buy players to bolster the squad or be bold enough to play youngsters more often. |

As I said on another thread. Chis Sutton nailed it today. It's football and you roll with BOTH the good and bad times so it's to be expected that some of our support have thrown out a few brickbats after Saturday. The criticisms are NOT a withdrawal of support from, or lack of confidence, in Brendan; far from it. The support are just acting as football fans do and have done down through the decades. |

Brendans's book is pretty insightful. An under achiever at school, but a studious,educated determined adult. |

It's extremely poorly written. I don't read a lot of "sports" books but this certainly wouldn't encourage me to read more if it's typical. |
