[Official TC Thread] Celtic v Anderlecht: Tues 05/12/17, 19:45. Bt Sport ESPN

Job done but that was horrendous

 

Brendan at the end

 

BR looked really * angry

Investment is now a must

 

Exactly. Players deserve no praise for a one off performance against a dreadful Anderlecht team

 

Much do we get for qualifying?

 

He still using that excuse ? Why the excuses that * me off

New manager has made Anderlecht a much better team, We caught them at the right time in between managers and luckily it got us EL Football

 

And had Delia as manager

Part of me says we need Paddy for that extra quality, that player that can inspire the rest of the team.

We can talk about 10M+ valued players make a difference but for me one player wouldn’t have made much of a change.

I don’t think Pat has been at it quite yet, I’ll say the same for Armstrong.

Generally the team has a wee form problem as far as performance and fluidity goes.

Time to kick on, Brendan maybe using fear to get a response with the January window coming. Smart move saying players not good enough.

 

Honking!

 

Was that the guy Hanni, thought he was good as well.

 

Aye, not quite sure where he actually played, but was really impressed by him. His touch was class.

 

Aye look like an attacking midfielder but was drifting all over, looked really skillful and technical on the ball.

 

Armstrong seems to have morphed into his old mate GMS, fair enough no one was great in first half but guys like Tierney, broony, even Boyota who had a few bad passes , they weren't hiding and were trying to get in about it, Armstrong was hiding and looked like he didn't want the ball and when he got it wanted rid of it straight away and ended up starting an attack for ANderlecht , a like wee mcgregor as well he's improved tremendously but still think he soot his depth at this level

 

Held off saying it before the game, but I was actually dreading this game.

The 0-3 away result was misleading, they gifted us that win with goals as bad as even we have conjured up this campaign.

We were clinical, yes, but it was a misinterpretation of were the two sides are, especially as Anderlecht we're going through a real bad patch.

We have a real problem with holding a lead over (essentially) a two legged tie, players seem to fold and make it real difficult from themselves.

Don't blame Rodgers, as much, he has a few in his squad who aren't quite good enough for this level.

 

Benfica have twice the budget of FC Basel and yet Basel qualified ahead of them. Budgets are a lame excuse to be honest. Passion and desire go a long way.

 

Its a * horrendous excuse given we run a monopoly on our league

 

We forget as well Anderlecht got to the semis of the Europa was it last season and ran Man U close I think. They're a decent enough team, they really done to us what we did away to them only they never got the goals they shut us down at the back and kept forcing us to rush out passing and lose it then they kept possession well - we done the same away to them shut them down won the ball then held it and built attacks.

 

Brendan bealing in his interview. The board need to back him in January
