Champions League Atlético V Celtic Tuesday November 7th kick off 8PM TNT sports 1

We need more players with top level experience

 

Well it wasn't.

 

What * me off the most here, before the red card a Madrid player did a bad foul, kicked the ball away and the ref warns him..? Maeda’s tackle wasn’t as bad, their player rolls around the ref was probably right with a yellow, although harsh. VAR intervenes and once that happens there’s only one decision, any image that gets frozen of a tackle
Is always going to look bad, the game seriously * me off atm.. if it’s not corrupt Scottish refs is this bull *

 

I get what you’re saying. Bit really Lazio outplayed us? I thought we were the better team that night.

 

I felt exactly the same. Feels like I've re-lived that moment a few lifetimes.

 

Well you can not accept it if you want, but these doings happen quite regularly. It's just reality- it doesn't change anything if you accept it or not.

 

Eh, I don't think we'd have done any worse this season with Ange this season.

That said, what can you do when we play every away game men down

 

That's just a technicality to do with the format.

 

Only positive is the other result in the group suits us.

 

We seriously need a good stopper Hart fills me with dread most of the times.. Taylor not up to it 80 percent of the time in Europe oriley never turned up tonite Johnson was ran ragged by riqueleme at times.. to play against.these top teams we need everyone and I mean everyone to be on top form in these gsmes

 

Obvious?

Las Palmas have won once in 9 league games against Atletico. They've lost their previous three games before Saturday 0-3, 5-1 and 5-0.

They hadn't had a man sent off in any of their games, either.

We needed xi players on the pitch to have any chance here.

 

Over all his seasons, he has a better record than Ange. Ange had an awful record in Europe. It's too early to compare this season to last season as there are still 2 games to go.

 

Pity our board don’t put as much effort into finding us a holding midfielder, left back and goalkeeper as they do writing statements with reasons to ban fans.

 

Same * from McGregor “we have to learn…….”

 

Red card did change the game. We were taking the game to them at that point and having a lot of the ball.

Heads went down after that and game plan went out the window. There isn't much you can do against this level of opponent when something like that happens. Especially with how ridiculous the decision was.

When you consider the * opponents have got away with against us, the punch on Hatate etc, it's clear it's not football reasons that refs are making these decisions for.

The CL has always been decided by brown envelopes and swiss bank accounts. Not gonna go tearing my hair out over it.

 

No they didn't outplay us that's not what I mean. We were actually the better side. But we STILL found a way to lose the game which makes it worse. In competition only the win counts. We are way too much of an easy-touch atm.

 

Need a Wanyama type player. So the likes of Riquelme don't beat 3 of our players with ease.

 

23min - 73% (Maeda red card)
HT - 46%
63min - 41%
FT - 34%

So after the red card, Celtic had just 16.42% the rest of the remaining 67min. Any team, not just a side like At Madrid, but any team having basically 85% possession for 70min is going to dominate, but those numbers are frightening that our Bhoys even with a man down could not hold onto any ball whatsoever. Atletico had 5 shots (1 on target) when Maeda was sent off. They finished with 27 (12 on target). Celtic managed just 1 all night and that was before the red.

 

You seem comfortable with these pastings...why?

Then post, like we're odd for wanting more, for better.

 

Possibly a Scottish thing, but the heads going down, and no one in the team demanding more from the team wasn't great.

Too many "future captains" didn't show up tonight.
