Being competitive and disinclined against Bayern

362
By on CQN BLOG & Comments

History makers on Saturday but Brendan Rodgers and his players will have nothing but tomorrow’s game against Bayern Munich on their minds today. In truth, the 100-year-old 62 game unbeaten run achieved by Willie Maley’s team looked like it was equalled despite minds being focussed on Champions League duty.

While there was no shame in losing 3-0 in Munich two weeks ago, Celtic were poor. It was not until Bayern achieved their objectives Celtic players looked less intimidated. We were unpicked repeatedly in defence while we retreated under the merest pressing from Bayern.

A win tomorrow is not beyond Celtic, but win or lose, we have to learn how to compete against teams of this level. We have endured harsh lessons against Barcelona and PSG over the last 13 months. Progress would not necessarily mean repeating the kind of remarkable 2-1 victory we got over Barcelona five years ago, being competitive in the game and defending with discipline would be a start.

BRENDAN RODGERS – The Road to Paradise is available now from CQNBookstore.com and for the first 100 sold on the bookstore we will include a free gift.

    daft wee observation for today,

     

     

     

    how come the league cup final is being advertised as MOTHERWELL VS CELTIC.

     

     

     

    As we won the first semi should we not be the home team ?

    I wonder if the words of Karl Heinz Rummenigge are meant to be disrespectful or its just the way it is.

     

     

    Imo if we use this arrogance to inspire us to play like Real Madrid then he has done us a favour.

     

     

    Over to you BR.

    It’s just the way it is IMHO. The harsh reality is that even without Lewandowski and Mueller they are still red hot favourites.

     

     

    It’s pretty much like we rested Brown, Armstrong, Sinclair, Dembele, Forrest and McGregor on Saturday. The manager reckoned we could win without them in the starting 11. I certainly still expected a comfortable 3 points.

     

     

    As for parking the bus tomorrow night – a la Killie on Saturday: not for me thanks. Let’s go out and see if we can beat them playing football.

    If we can neutralise Coman and Robben and big Moussa plays up front against Hummels then we might scrape a point. I, unfortunately, have to agree that wee Paddy won’t be missed against Bayern as he was a passenger in Munich. Possibly a bold 2 up front with Moussa and the Griffalo might shake them up. However, our defence is the key to whether we take something from this game or not.

     

    Does anybody know what hotel they are in? Maybe get a Tim chef to do a wee salmonella special tea for them ;-)

    I’ll be throwing the old travel bag together shortly. Early start in the morning, set alarm 6.45am leave house 7.30am, Arrive Blane Valley circa 4pm, won’t have eaten at that stage so will need to be away by 5.30pm at the latest for a bite to eat before heading out the Gallowgate.

     

    Looking forward to trip & saying Hello to the CQN crew in the Blane Valley, hope it’s one of those special nights in Celtic Park, but in reality can’t see us winning this one,

     

    Hope the weather is OK, got soaked at PSG game.

    Vidal replaced the injured Lewandowski at half time v Leipzig . He didn’t do much – doesn’t look 100% and tries to make up for it with some over the top tackling . A red card walking . According to the Italian fitba media he was involved in a bit of bother at a Discothis weekend past . . Jupp Heynkes reported to be mightily annoyed !
