The team's just not as up for it as they were last season. They lack energy and bravery too often: Not enough risk in possession - movement and runs in behind/wide to stretch the opposition, create space. The weak defence is likely at the back of their minds and also the worry that the final ball will be wasteful. Without the ball, they aren't up for the counter-press then don't reform to press as unit. Again, a lack of mental and physical energy. Losing the ball is supposed to trigger an almost manic reaction to win it back again in the style Rodgers supposedly favours. |

Celtic have performed to expectation in Europe. We beat teams with a lower budget and lost to teams with a higher budget, except Anderlecht who we eliminated. It's disappointing but predictable. At least we are progressing from being beaten by Scandinavian teams under Ronny, to competing against second tier teams. Hopefully next year we will kick on more. |

I'm not worried about sevco or the sheep. It's us that bothers me. He needs to get some intesity back into our play very quickly, that's what domestic opposition can't live with. |

That's a fair comment. We are desperately needing someone to come in and organise us at the back. Their third goal would have been comical had it not been so predictable. |

Well, we got three points same as 2016-17, but went through in third. Glass half full. The Anderlecht home game was a dead rubber also. I'm sure we'd not have lost if qualification depended on it. |

Mancini bettered rodgers the night tactically,he identified our strengths from the home leg and nullified them really well with the right changes in midfield and pressing wing back positions. Brendan didn't adapt to this at all,thats something that worries me too. |

Said as much in the post match thread, but here’s a bit more. We are over coached. Too many players seem happy to repeat what’s drilled into them in training, and thereafter think they are doing a good job. There is either no freedom allowed for the players to find in game solutions, or the players are thick, or they are frightened to step up and try something different. I think we have decent players. Fitba games are puzzles, and you need to find ways to solve the puzzle. Last season we almost always did, this season we mostly don’t when in trouble. It has to go back to the manager. It’s like watching eleven robots out there at times. |

“At times”. ..and I’d say way more robots than free flowing football. |

Being robotic wasn't the issue tonight. They exhibited that common human trait of shampooting it. They didn't look like they had it in them from the first whistle. |

I don't think anyone can decry him standing by the players who performed so well last year, it's more than evident now that fresh faces (and legs, chest, head, arms, etc.) are needed going forward. Senior players are either blowing out of their arse or not learning from previous mistakes. |
