    I think that was more delusion than positivity, that. It was all a bit weird TBH. We played out of our skins and they just waited patiently for us to wear ourselves out and then, when we tired, they swatted us aside without getting out of first gear. And people were talking after the game like we were competitive for an hour: no, we weren't.

    For the record, I will be very surprised if Dortmund beat us with the same contemptuous ease tonight. I think they'll probably win in the end, as they have too much quality IMO; but I genuinely think we'll cause them problems and make them have to really work for it. I really hope I don't regret saying that!

    That's gotta be the team he selects right? I'm going 1-3 to Dortmund.

    I agree that Taylor isn’t at the CL level but to judge Trusty as being out his depth in the SPL when he has played one game in the SPL is mental :giggle1:

    We are ovedue beating a bigger team in the CL, last one was probably Barcelona and they are probably the only big team we'll play this season so it must be them :celtman2::ynwacelti

    It’s not delusional to say we competed with Madrid an hour, we did. Then were outdone by a team that had done that to literally every single other team in Europe from small to big.

    The fact you think something will happen but hope not to be proved wrong proves my entire point about tonight being a barometer. It’s alright you or I thinking that something will happen in theory, let’s see what happens in reality.

    We didn't compete, mate. They did to us what we've all seen us do to the better domestic teams in big games: let them wear themselves out and then pick them off. We could play that game 10 times and we would lose all 10.

    As far as the the last point goes, my saying that doesn't prove your point. I hope I'm not wrong for the obvious reason that it will be painful watching Celtic get bent over, not because I would read anything into it regarding our progress this season. In fact, it wouldn't change my mind about anything.

    Score draw if things go our way.

    German pundits all seem to think we'll score first for whatever reason.

    Actually a mistype! Or mispost... Or a misquote.

    I meant to say "uncomfortable", but was typing fast.

    One game yes, but i dont think he strolled it at all. Mostly from post match snaps he looked like a deer in headlights lol.
    Think its more a nervousness from me that a game of this magnitude is too much top soon for him.

    Its a MASSIVE second game for him. Alot to ask imo.

    We did compete, mate. I watched the game with my own eyes. But for the width of a post and poor finishing not only would we have ‘competed’ we’d have been winning. Any suggestion otherwise is revising the reality.

    If you are suggesting something is going to happen against Dortmund in theory and so am I, what’s the only way to see whose opinion/feeling is correct? Using the actual match as the ‘barometer’. Nah?

    OK, well we don't agree about the Real Madrid game at all. Fair enough.
    Can you explain that second paragraph? I genuinely don't understand what you mean.

    This is a good opportunity to see just how far we have progressed. Would love a win or even a draw but really can't see it as they are top drawer. I also hope our playerscare disciplined and don't give that card happy an opportunity to send one of our players off. C'Mon the Hoops :ynwacelti:ynwacelti:ynwacelti

    Can’t help but think CCV is a monumental miss for us, as we will come up against heavy pressure at points and he is exceptional at defending his box.

    That said, I think we can hurt them given the way they play.
