Brendan Rodgers Discussion Thread

If we give him the right additions next 2 windows we could have the best season since Seville. So glad he came back, looked a bit out of sorts to begin with but he is back to his best, we should be grateful we have him here

 

Sign a new deal brendan!!!

 

The squad depth now is incredible. Imagine if we get a couple more now in.
Really worried he's going to leave at the end of his contract, get him an extension asap

 

Everything spot on tonight up against a top manager. This is the time to back him further and try to keep pushing on.

 

The bold Brendan FINALLY getting the Celtic to where he wants us to be. My manager.

 

He has always been top class for us. Back the man and we will continue to improve. Fudgie's green & white army

 

If you back him he stays motivated and we go up another level.

I love how he’s built the squad, especially in midfield. You’ve got Engels, Bernardo, Hatate and McGregor all essentially at the same level in terms of starting and you’ve got enough games and subs to get them all playing.

McCowan is right there too to give a bit of quality depth.

Back him to do this across the squad. Wings should be next.

 

I'm beginning to warm to him!.

 

Gotta keep backing him.

The loaned out players need permanently moved on where possible and bring in 2-3 in January that takes the squad depth to a great level.

Then come summer it's 2-3 again at the idah/Engels price range/calibre and watch as the squad truly goes up a level.

No reason then why we don't qualify for the UCL again and just look at us now in it!

All is forgiven, Brendan.

 

Could you ask for any more from your team this evening?

No, it was a brilliant performance and result against a top, top team. I thought everything was really good about our game. I thought we were exciting going forward similar to what we showed against Slovan Bratislava. I thought we had the defensive discipline and the hunger in the game like did against Atalanta. We were able to press a bit more with the energy of the crowd. I thought we started the game very well in the first 20 minutes and then we conceded a goal which we were disappointed with as it rocked us a little bit. Once we got the flow we were great. This is against a team who have only conceded five goals all season so for us to score three tonight shows the level we are at. It was a brilliant performance and a great evening for Celtic and their supporters and I am pretty sure they would have enjoyed that.

How pleased were you with the response after you went a goal down to come back and stabilise the way you did?

It is the mark of a team that is maturing. It is going to happen with the top players that you are playing against. We got lost a little bit in the corner and we got a bit loose and edgy for 10 minutes. We regained our composure and got the ball moving again and from that moment we were outstanding


Your players fed off the intensity of the crowd and it felt like you didn't want half-time to come the way the players were performing, didn't you?

The word that you mentioned there is intensity. It is a great tribute to the players and the way they played. They had a big game on Saturday and to bring that energy to this game, I tip my hat to them. To bring that hunger and mentality was excellent. We showed charisma on the ball and had that confidence and picked up loads of little spaces in between them and played right through them. All round it was very good.

That leaves you with seven points from four games. What position are you in now with four games to go?

Clearly, we are in a very good position. If you think after the Borussia Dortmund game, to take four points from the Atalanta and RB Leipzig games tells you the ability and honesty of the players. Position wise it puts us in a really good position with four games to go. We want to continue building our mentality step-by-step at this level and we will look forward to the Club Brugge when that comes.

 

How do we even improve on who we've got. That's how * brilliant we was. Maybe a new mascot? He was a bit quiet the night.

 

Qualify? Play like that and we could very well win it. That team was 2nd in Germany. Wow.

 

Give him the backing to get 2 wingers, another right CB and a LB. He is improving every player.

 

It's the best football I've seen us play and one of the best teams I think we've had..

In all areas of the park we actually look a quick side now. Front 3 rapid, particularly as a pressing unit or on the counter. A mobile midfield. Trusty added to the back with Johnston has a lot of pace. Carter-Vickers back gives us that bit more mobility as well..

We're a much more physical side with much more pace. More depth. And far better ballers in the squad overall to play out from the back (starting with our keeper who's top notch in that department)..

If we can add a few more of the same profiles at left back and on wing for competition....we'll be really motoring..

Problem is.....do that and clubs are on alert. Kuhn after tonight will be being closely monitored now by a heap of Bundesliga clubs..
