    Bar for the own goal by Cameron Carter Vickers, we were winning that game. I think that shock own goal knocked the stuffing out of our team, until Maeda's wonder goal. I don't think they looked like scoring themselves, our defense snuffed them out.

    I never at any time felt the point felt like a defeat.

    It was a hard earned point against a team that dismantled Villa.

    When they review this game I would honestly show a montage of all the 50/50s we lost and how many times we were second to the ball. If you turn over even just a few of them I reckon we win comfortably. I've never seen us lose quite so many, or at least that's how it felt.

    We would win headers comfortably but inexplicably it would land perfectly at their feet and we'd be on the backfoot. They would miscontrol the ball with 2 Celtic players round them and still get our of it and be on the attack. The one or two times we won the ball we nearly scored.

    Maybe it's because of the way they play but Brugge's mentality seemed to be to win those balls where we seemed liked we were caught cold. We need to address that the remaining 3 games.

    No. It never used to be so relentlessly toxic. There was always an element of encouragement and a genuine effort to back the team.

    Now fans are so entitled that if we’re not winning after 20 mins or so, or playing poorly, they’re on the players backs giving them dog’s abuse at times. It’s crap.

    That Depeche Mode when we score!!
    If we were told we would draw 1-1 against Leipzig and beat Club Brugge 3-1 before those 2 fixtures all of us on here would have been more than delighted. So it happened the other way round, pretty dam good if you ask me. I look forward to at least 4 more points in the last 3 games if not more.

    Couldn't disagree more..

    We were extremely fortunate to draw the game.. they did score and was a fraction offside.. they missed a couple of really good chances too. With Schmeichel having to make an excellent save.. and the boy misses a sitter at the back post..

    We were definitely outplayed for large segments of the match..

    Best team we'd played so far.
    (Dortmund were just lucky with those freak ricochettes giving them 2 cheap goals + our general * up/collapse tactically)

    A very good result on the day.
    Now beat the Young Boys and we should be in a good place (anything more than 3 pts from the remaining 3 gams would be a welcome bonus)

    Considering Brugge are Belgian and Belgium have been one of the highest ranked countries in FIFA and UEFA rankings for years none of the Belgian teams in UEFA competitions should be underestimated.

    Tbh I felt like on far too many occasions we looked like we've lost feeling of our own home surface.
    Even Maeda (with the obvious pace in him) was second to quite a few balls he should've been comfortable getting in front of any * (at least that's how it looked on the screen)

    Draw with Zagreb away and beat Young Boys at home will give us 12pts going into final match against Villa.
    Beat those English * will be brilliant.

    No chance, dortmund without a doubt best team we’ve played so far. You don’t get lucky if you win 7-1. You earn that

    Daily Record saying "Maeda got us out of jail". Do they not know that we were playing a top team in the CHAMPIONS league and not some wee diddy mid table team. If the Huns draw tonight you can bet the * polishers from the smsm will see it as a brilliant result and some sort of tactical genius inspired point in Europe
