    Will have us playing great stuff in Scotland but we’ll get nowhere in Europe with his set up, good teams will continually play through us.

    Awful * defending by us.

    Maybe a blessing in disguise for us. Teams are looking at Ange and in reality there are a few from England he would look at. Those big teams watching us defend in the CL wouldn't touch that in a million years

    I love the big man, and what he's done for us domestically is incredible, but there are major questions marks against him in Europe.

    Granted, we were missing CCV, Starfelt, Abada and Mcgregor for the majority of the game, and Hart cost us the game with his blunder, but the way we set up doesn't help us one bit. There's no harm playing counter attacking football against sides of this quality. The huns done so and beat Leipzig and Dortmund with it.

    He doesn't change it up quick enough either. Giakoumakis and Haksabanovic should have been brought on so much earlier. Leipzig brought Forsberg on and he gave them some much needed energy.

    Massive few games coming up, need some sort of boost.

    Who couldn't see it coming.

    I'm raging after this tonight tbh. Teams must be desperate to play against us. The space we allow teams is mind blowing man, you're up against a side who are known for high energy stuff and pressing you and being so dangerous on the counter.

    The midfield was non existent all night.

    And we never take our chances either. If we are gonna attack we need to take chances.

    The big man is going to need to swallow a bitter pill and change his style of play away from home in Europe. Trying to go toe to toe with these elite teams isn't working. At home it makes more sense, but not away.

    Needs to adapt everyone has said it and knows it but he's going nowhere fast in Europe if he refuses to adapt his game. This 'We never stop' when we're struggling is asking for trouble.

    No plan b, same set up regardless of the opposition, works against the * in the league but needs to be much more tactical aware in europe.

    Guy won't adapt his approach for Europe and consequently the team will increasingly go out expecting to be ineffective. They didn't look confident at any point tonight, they looked as though they knew they were out of their depth.

    The majority of Celtic fans wanted modern football, and Ange tries his best. The problem is, the club only seem to hire managers who are stubborn as *.

    I’ve been surprised at how late he changes the game, especially tonight I thought he would change it before their 2nd

    His tactics don’t work in Europe and we have spent a fortune compared to other Celtic managers

    Ange is the man, but bring on Forrest was baffling.

    It's really not rocket science.

    If they don't watch that game back tonight and see the problems then I dunno what to say.

    The space for teams to operate in. Must be a dream for guys like Nkunku. Paul Lambert said at HT he couldn't believe the gaps.

    Really fed up with it. Time and time again.

    I just don't understand why our fullbacks are so narrow when defending. If you look at the space they had on the wings today it was absolutely shocking. If Leipzig were a bit more intelligent they could have taken 6 or 7 off us today easily.

    Surely if we play with inverted fullbacks then Maeda and Jota need to be tracking their wide players on the touch-line. Instead, they are camped in the middle as well which leaves miles of space for them to exploit.

    I don't understand it at all.
