He needs a European run or two.
He’s qualified for the champions league two seasons in a row and Europe this season after Christmas. What do people want
Your right he's doing a wonderful job.

That was like watching Deila's team facing Malmö tonight.

Defending a fragile, yet well earned lead from the first leg, and we fold at the first bit of pressure put on us. Then have as much of the ball as we like in front of their banks, doing not very much. Frustrating.

You can hardly blame the manager for players not taking responsibility at a corner.
Er, yes ye can
Naw you can't.He's not omnipotent,he can't pick the man up for Simunovic from the touchline.

You absolutely can. You can also blame him for not only signing a goalkeeper who can't make saves, but extending his contract.

Brendan gets big bucks but I guess tonight shows why someone like Mancini gets megabucks. They didn't have to have any particularly brilliant individual performances to be a much better team. In fact they cruised it, in a style we could/should be doing against SPFL dross.

We can just as easily get pumped having a manager on a fraction of what he earns.

If Brendan came up against Legia Warsaw, Maribor and Malmo in qualifying for Europe, we’d have been nowhere near the CL 2 seasons on the trot. Even against the opposition we were given in getting there during his tenure, we’ve squeaked by on both occasions despite being in a hugely advantageous position going into each second leg. It isn’t good enough.

Yup and at the end isn't that why Lennon was mutually consented. Lennon's teams at least showed guts and fight in Europe BR's team have brought our most embarassing defeats.
Lennon was losing 3-1 to Sion in his second season and received very hard to take defeats to Milan, Barca, Ajax, Braga and Utrecht in his tenure. It wasn't all guts and fight.

What we saw tonight was not unique to BR or any one Celtic manager. It was a Celtic display we've all seen under numerous teams and numerous managers over the past 15 years.
No other Celtic manager has had the fortune of the wage budget and also received the salary he is getting.

Manager sounding absolutely gutted in that interview. He knows what was wrong.

I think we'll get there. He's on a learning curve too, but I have faith that he's the right man for the job.

Brendans claim to fame is "preparation". Apparently he's meticulous and prepares his players for everything.

Not tonight though.

Singled the defence out for criticism

But he knew and we knew it was the area that needed a class signing

A right back and centre half please - ajer is the best we have

Aye but he can't legislate for individual decision making in the heat of a game.

Although they were not pressured by us, I'd be delighted to see our defence set up as well as they did. We are a collective bomb scare at the back with a keeper ( ? ) who behaves like a kamikaze pilot.

Calm your jets fella

:o

It is possible for us to be unhappy with How we play and the lack of fight we show in games like this

Manager allowed to be criticised for it - it’s not all sugar or all shampooe
