    We need to be honest he's absolutely useless tactically in Europe and it's not good enough.

    He's probably lucky the most of us(including myself) only really care about domestic success right now with 10 in a row looming.

    I don't think it's entirely his fault if we did invest in our backline his tactics would have a better chance of working.

    But that doesn't really change the fact that it's his job to recognise we don't have the players to play so open on the road in Europe and stop being so stubborn.

    If he is useless at Europe he is useless, period. We dont need a handsomely well paid manager to beat teams who costed less than a tenth of our to assemble.

    Too stubborn for his own good.

    Getting to the stage now where I'm wondering if he is really justifying that wage of his.

    I don't believe he is.

    Incompetent in Europe, not good enough.

    We could well win a treble treble. Incredible achievement if we do.

    But we are an embarrassment in Europe with him in charge. No longer the whipping boys in the CL, but fast becoming whipping boys in the EL.

    Yeah well it's not like we clean sweeped domestically without him so I'm happy with that for the time being.

    I’m fed up seeing Celtic embarrassed in Europe. Domestic success alone does not make your job status untouchable as a Celtic manager. Time to appreciate Rodgers, and reflect on his time fondly as Celtic manager. However, we need a change. Bring back the thunder...

    When he first came in he made comments about trimming the squad to maintain a competitive edge and hunger in the team.

    Since then he's bloated the squad full of guys that he evidently doesn't deem good enough to play. He knows it, they know it and it's led to a bad squad dynamic.

    We still have by far and away the best squad in Scotland to win the league. Let's make it to the end of the season and then have a real rethink of the direction we want to go in.

    Going back to the post Hibs comments i was quite uplifted and he sounded like a guy on a mission!!! Yeah, sure he mentioned the window BUT he also said we knew if affected us and we're NOW moving forward and up to tonight it looks like it, definitely domestically. For me, he's moved on!! January is HUGE though!!

    His tenure is identical to smiths first stint at rangers dominant domestically and * poor in Europe

    The decision as well to keep gamboa out of the squad in European games bewilders me especially away to athens or salzburg has shown to be far superior option to lustig just now from the cameos he has played that kinda shows up what Rodgers was thinking playing lustig in this games

    In recent history that's usually enough to be honest, with the exception of the orcs dying and newco in the lower leagues!!..that changed it a bit for a while as the league was a given and all eyes were on Europe!!
