Rodgers didn't really have much room for a plan B after he lost two central defenders, only leaving him one substitute Mind you he should have done better with his plan A |

"In a world ... where people thought Brendan Rodgers was a great manager ... one man saw through it all. But would anyone else see the fatal terror that hides behind ... The Delia Points Total???" From the producers who gave us the international conspiracy thriller The Mowbray Goal Difference. Rated R for raging. PS - missed your edit! Sorry. Glad to hear there's nothing wrong, that's a relief.

KT does though & if we had a right back he would too. Ajer did recently - was it Hibs? I think big part of our recent problems is no RB, which has effed with Brendan's system. He doesn't seem to have the players to play the way he wants & I don't know why.. 2 DMs & 3 CBs at Killie does seem strange, can see why we plodded about too much. |

Tim, I don't think any one of us is panicking as much as you think so. I know you're in America, aye? I've no idea how much of Celtic playing live you see, but I was at Celtic Park last Tuesday night to watch us take a much vaunted Hertz team to the cleaners. Then to watch us playing amateur football against Killie a few days later is quite 'disturbing'. I don't expect us to win every game but I'd sure as hell like a wee bit more consistency in playing football. |

Glad to hear it. I don't see much of Celtic live, very true, and even watching Celtic get beat off Killie at 7:30 AM in my living room wasn't a picnic - kudos to those who braved the elements. What I do see in my terribly limited capacity is not up to the same standard we set last season (which would be nearly impossible), but unless Celtic have a different points total, win / loss record and trophy collection over there for folks who see them live I am not sure why people are straining to find sticks to beat the manager with like "Mowbray goal difference" and "Delia points total." And according to Mr. Wonka anyone who is satisfied (not overjoyed, but satisfied) with what we're seeing this season is "at it," so I guess I am at it. |

Aye, it’s mental on here for many after a defeat. Shudder to think what it would be like if we lose a Scottish cup tie or even worse, the hun beat us. |

You don't win an "extra" title for being 10 points ahead of your final total from the previous season. Finishing first with 80 points and finishing first with 100 points gives you the same end result. In terms of actual output, we've done everything this season just as we had last season, won the League Cup again, qualified for the Champions League again, and even did better by getting Europa League matches, top of the table again, undefeated against the chimps again. There was always going to be a second season comedown from an undefeated Treble. Normally, even great teams lose league matches sometimes. The huns are incrementally better, Hibs are back in the league, Hearts are tougher now than they were under Cathro, Killie are much better under Clarke, people have had a year to study Rodgers team and try to figure it out, AND we've had to see guys like Rogic and Roberts miss huge chunks of the season, Dembele hasn't been able to get fit, thus guys like Armstrong and Sinclair become easier to double mark. I do think Rodgers needs to be a tad more willing to mix things up in certain matches, but the Kilmarnock game on that awful pitch that they shortened and narrowed was always going to be tricky. We'll need to see how things go in upcoming matches, after all we are only just past battling past Hibs and swatting Hearts aside. The obvious difference in performances this season is due to too many creative players missing games which is why I think Rodgers wanted to get Musounda in the team quicker than he may normally have done. |

Brendan has several plan Bs and changes to different formations during matches. There is no comparison to the like of Ronnie’s rigid system or WGS 4-4-2 with wingers on the “wrong” side. Where he is reluctant to change is in the philosophy of putting ball retention ahead of everything. He believes in defending like Barca, basically hoping to stop the opposition from scoring by denying them the ball. On days like yesterday on that crap surface against a team well organised and sitting deep we should have been prepared to abandon the possession game for at least a spell in the game and play the ball into areas where Killie didn’t want to play, I.e. facing their own goal. Sometimes you can give your opponent too much respect. We should have been prepared to play off their mistakes but you need to put them under pressure to do that. Yesterday we were far too slow in moving the ball so their defensive organisations was never really stretched. |

I love him and it will take a lot more than a loss to Kilmarnock to change that opinion. We're a handful (four?) of games away from making history. Again. Embrace it. |
