Champions League RB Leipzig v Celtic Wednesday October 5th kick off 5:45 BT Sport 4

Heat of the moment stuff, I apologise to the people living down in England on the forum.

 

No worries my friend, it takes a big man to admit mistakes. (And I make plenty of mistakes, I took nine months or so out from the forum last year due to a pathetic post I made that was borderline sectarian in nature and most definitely not funny and I was being a smart *)

Im seriously * off at the game too!

Appalling arrogance that we don’t change tactics to suit the game.

 

I think we can still press though but do it in the way we were before the striker takes the centre backs the wingers cut of the lanes to the full backs and Hatate and O’Riley watch the midfield options for the keeper coming out.

I am all for pressing but be sensible about it, even Maeda our main pressing machine just floated about inside and wasn’t really close to anyone, it was weird.

We need to be better at home and learn lessons from that but I think it will be more of the same sadly.

 

Thanks mate!!!

 

Appreciate you understanding, if I could take back that post I would, but again i can only apologise.

 

I think it’s the sort of thing that’s forgivable at home with the crowd behind us. It worked against Madrid and had we been more clinical (deja vu) it might have been a different game there.

Away from home I totally agree. We were caught out constantly tonight on simple breaks from them. It’s why people were so excited at Vinicius Souza being an option in the summer. We’ve been crying out for a player like that for years and years as we constantly get exposed at that level. Yet we never seem to recognise it.

 

'Passing it back too often' is not what I saw. I saw them randomly running and passing forward. Guy is incapable of admitting his strategy won't work against every single set-up imaginable.

 

Why are folk saying we can't beat them at Celtic Park. On account of that tonight?

Come on. We've beaten bigger and better with worse sides in the past. Sure we need our best players available and a few things to align, but beating RB Leipzig at home is hardly impossible.

 

It’s cool, it’s in the past, we move on!

Holy *! I sound like a player being interviewed after a pumping!

 

The thing that annoys me is this stubborn mindset of playing full attacking football against these teams, Rodgers was the same.

Why not get some * street smarts against these teams, who cares if its ugly football i want to win a * champions league game. Points make prizes.

 

He deserves to be dropped for that and Siegriest given a chance, such a slack bit of football I’m all for playing it out but * me make sure it’s a 100% pass that’s on.

 

Said it from day one with anges style we need a solid cdm who covers n we’ve not got it

 

They didn’t beat them in Leipzig, got ran over aswell lucky to get away with a 1-0 defeat

 

It's really not. Compare the first half with McGregor at CDM, where we had equal possession and created more chances, to when he went off, where we completely lost control of the game. How solid did we look second half with Abildgaard playing there?

Also consider the performance against St. Mirren, where Mooy played CDM and McGregor played further up the pitch. Probably our worst performance under Ange. There are also several examples from last season, where McGregor went off or was out and our ability to play out from the back was severely impacted. Given the current personnel we have, he should play just about exclusively in that position.

 

Well said sir.takes a real man to apologise.we move on.forget CL.HH

 

The Huns run to Europa was the greatest luck of all time. Teams they played had big players missing or no managers lol.but karma killed them in that beautiful final.lol HH

 

Huns were an absolute embarrassment in Leipzig man. Remember that game well. We at least try to create chances unlike those eye bleeding *.

 

Anges style cannot be played every single match. Psg would be doing it too if it worked. You need 2 or 3 strategys. I love him though he's brought exciting football to Celtic park

 

Agreed mate, we're nowhere near clinical enough at this level. Was our downfall in the Europa least season too tbf.

 

At least st Johnstone got a midweek game aswell,

 

Frustrated as * considering the start to the second half. Thought Ange was too late to make the subs again although admittedly I was only listening on the radio. How did big Abildgaard get on?
