What impressed me so much on Saturday was how we’d clearly analysed Motherwell’s tactics and quickly figured out not only how to combat it, also how to best attack them by exploiting it. It was noticeable at times, we stood up to their long ball, Tierney sitting slightly further forward to pick up any knock downs they were able to get, then funneled the ball to the wing. As they tend to play a 3 at the back, with their two wide men slotting in to create a 5, once we were in that position, then their wide men got back, we then moved it inside, constantly moving them. When we were two up they were still chasing shadows, although we did obviously let up after the 2nd goal/first half. Hopeful we see a few new faces in the summer of his choosing. |

Brendan is the right man to keep watch for their bony hand reaching up through the dirt. Great words Ned |

Just a genuine nice guy who has a fair bit about him football wise. He loves the club and whilst there will be rocks on the road we are gearing up for 3 succesful season under him after 2 blinding ones. He needs to work on European performances and the doing's we got were horrific and needs to try to try to play it tight to get results...recruitment needs looked at as I think it has been patchy last wee while. But he certainly knows how to get the best out of a squad of players. He is a bona fide Celtic man due to his roots and where he is from...thank god we got him 2 years ago. Listening to Henry Winter talking about him few weeks back and his personal approach to the Liverpool players and staff is what he is remebered for at Anfield. They seem to think not the greatest tactician but he got the players onside to his mantra of looking after themselves and playing for each other. The personal approach & constantly drived it home at team meetings & dressing room chats. Terrific man and terrific manager IMO. As stated previously on this page only 2nd now to Big Jock. He will swat aside Gerarrd IMO. 10IAR and he is a bona fide living legend. Edited by littlegmbhoy, 22 May 2018, 08:55 AM.

Yes - I have heard the "He's bored " stuff doing the rounds for a fair while now - He sure as feck didn't look bored on Saturday. He has a three tier structure of objectives going on - Building for the future which he is slowly but surely doing /winning the league which is the priority for the CL dosh and then trying to improve in the CL - At the time he said he wanted Celtic playing regularly in the last 16 of the CL from where we were I felt that was a massive leap - This season in Europe didn't change that and Anderlecht at home hurt him - That is the sort of game I expect him to be trying to ensure Celtic will win and pick up points. He himself says there are no guarantees in football re jobs albeit being Brendan he is sharp and goes down "a few bad results and you can be getting binned" line but as things stand he is going nowhere. |

No chance he's bored - next season is going to be a effing carnival with John Barnes MK II in charge of the zombies

Yep All commentators talking about Motherwell not doing this or that it was all about the Celtic players doing exactly what they had been told to do. When that happens it usually turns out well for us.

See outside the stadium with YNWA all the players just standing. Rodgers is just in fan mode with the scarf up and singing along. |

The Anderlecht game was a double edged sword. Although we lost, getting through was the priority that night. It probably hurt him as it was the first realistic opportunity of getting a home win in the group stages. |

Well it was Ronny’s too, he wasn’t great at it. My point is, he’s so effective sometimes in his analysis, rarely have we had a manager who comes up with a plan that kills a team almost stone dead in 30 minutes. He’s also done it during games, little tweaks. In summary, might be his job, he does it extremely well. |

Agreed. MON is the best since Stein. It would take something extraordinary to eclipse him. If Brendan took us to another Euro final (big if) then maybe we could compare the two. As things stand their two different men in different times. Love them both. |
