However, if we were to have a reality check, I’d rather it was tonight than when three points are up for grabs.

agree 100%.
Tonight is a disappointment but nothing compared to dropping league points for me.
Am I happy with our performance…no….but I also don’t believe we have a god given right to win every game we play….

Just to take my mind off the result, I’m watching Making a Murderer for the 3rd time. I’m totally fascinated by it. The evidence against the entire Manitiwoc Police department is utterly overwhelming. How the preyed on poor uneducated people to save their own skins is unbelievable. I don’t understand why someone with power and authority don’t show this complete sham up for what it is. A judge, DA, Sherriff, detectives and cops all stood to lose their jobs, face and probably money due to a conspired, wrong conviction. It’s all so obvious, if it wasn’t serious it would be laughable. Yet 2 poor guys languish in jail for a murder that was arranged and carried out by law enforcement. Sickens me so much.
Reminds me to look after me and my own
Stay positive everyone – when you wake up tomorrow you will still be a Celtic supporter
and we will still be top of the league with a trophy in the cabinet. Sleep well all.

Spot on.
We’re not going to play great and/or win every game. Hopefully Ange learns from tonight. No points dropped in main prize this season.

Good organized and athletic opposition – I thought their defenders were dodgy and limited but then again, their manager probably thought the same about our defence.
TB – Tell me what Greg Taylor brings to the party.
I dont think you know much about football if you think he is a good player.
Greg Taylor appreciation society.
Only my opinion and you are entitled to yours but mines is right.
D :)
we havent been a european standard team for a good few years, give or take the odd great result
we continually lose to teams who’s wage bill is a.fraction of ours, who’s income is a fraction of ours, who’s fan base is a fraction of ours and who’s expectation is a fraction of ours
but im guessing the income of their bosses is also a fraction of ours so nowt will change

a few on here tonight not giving credit to the better team and would rather put the beating down to saying we had far too many players having an off night, gies a break the better team won playing the way we want to play our football.
They don’t play how we want to.
please explain how we want to play if it is not the way the Norwegians played against us tonight.
I thought I noticed Bodo pressing at times, then collectively, defending from the halfway line, conserving energy. To me this looked like a tactic allowing them to press at intervals throughout the 90 minutes.
We however press for the 90, becoming less effective as the game wears on
By the way I do not think they were that good a team.
We let them dictate the tempo of the game and we never pressed as a team.
Too big a gap when pressing as 2 out of our 3 midfielders were caught on the front foot high up the park leaving a big gap to our defenses which they exploited.
If we start properly over there we could be in with a shout.
D :)
but i would take the league over any euro run this year
They beat Roma who are 7th in the italian league.
7th.
D :)
Please, all you experts, explain what our tactics were tonight.
Ange spoke highly of this team before the game then sent out a team which couldn’t compete with them.
Of course all our distant experts can explain. Or they can just be puerile.

?
its not difficult, they don’t play the same way as us. theres more to it than just pressing and beating the press.
LETS ALL DO THE HUDDLE
Agreed
Win the league then go all out on the Champions League next season
Still think we’ll win over there though
We move onto Sunday and our next game is the most important.
Get back to winning ways.
D :)
VALE BHOY
I’ll guess
Play a high press (as a team, not just the forwards) and play fast 1/2 touch football
Unfortunately, if the team don’t follow the instructions it won’t work
DAVID66 on 17TH FEBRUARY 2022 11:05 PM
I agree that they’re not particularly good. There’s a tendency on here to say everyone who Sevco play are pish and everyone we play are good.
They’ll live off that thumping of Roma’s reserves for a while but this is Europa Conference League fare.
We need to accept it was a bad day at the office, dust ourselves down and take it out on Dundee on Sunday. The season is still better than we expected so far and we have it all in our hands to make it an exceptional one.
VALE BHOY
Do you really think Ange sent them out there without a game plan?
Really?
Geebee1978 – Exactly

Based on what, exactly? Surely not our previous performances on plastic? Starfelt will be like Bambi on ice over there.
I thought I noticed Bodo pressing at times, then collectively, defending from the halfway line, conserving energy. To me this looked like a tactic allowing them to press at intervals throughout the 90 minutes.

I noticed that too – they interchanged between a high press and sitting back for whole 90 mins.
I’ve no idea if they had a trigger for when to implement their press but it worked all night.
TURKEYBHOY We have a Turkish contingent over in the uk for 2 weeks but up in Scotland for a week this week.
My son in laws grand parents and auntie from Bursa.
We are taking the Grandfather and auntie to paradise on Sunday.

INIQUITOUSIV
Based on the fact we had an off night
Based on the fact we can play a lot better
Based on the fact, although bodo played well, we can and have played better
Based on the fact that some of our better players had an off night
And based on the fact Ange won’t play Rogic an O’Riley together again without a holding mid

Its what most teams do these days – they press high and then as energy levels drop they either drop into a low block or press a bit higher. you rarely see teams pressing high for a full half or for most of the game.
We don’t press for 90 minutes, but we do tend to press in the latter stages of the game if we’re ahead. If there is such a thing as Angeball its that we press high in the later stages, and attack with more intensity for longer in the game. We go harder for longer than most teams do. Its why we pick up so many soft tissue injuries
These things don’t just happen – when we sit back after the break its under instructions, if we press high in the last quarter of a game its because the players are told to.
Tonight we were just another team chasing the game at home, it wasn’t a good example of our tactics
I agree that they’re not particularly good. There’s a tendency on here to say everyone who Sevco play are pish and everyone we play are good.

i dont think anyone can disagree that in the last year or 3 they have worked out how to continually get good results in europe, especially.away from home
hopefully it keeps their mimd off the league
and their mind….

Everyone does that. We press higher for more of the game than most teams

It looked like it but maybe you’re right and they didn’t follow the plan.
If so, why did he take so long to change it?
CELTIC40ME
I don’t remember Celtic once retreating to the halfway line when their keeper or back line had the ball
Bodo did intermittently
LETS ALL DO THE HUDDLE on 17TH FEBRUARY 2022 11:19 PM
Agreed. I know we’ll have to win the league to prove we’re better than Sevco but I think we will and I think we are. The turnaround under Ange has been astonishing but yes, they seem better equipped for European football. We’ll get there though….we’re ahead of schedule :)
We could all come on here and criticise individual players…comparing our players with those we watch regularly.., Hart isn’t Allison; Starfelt isn’t Van Dijk; Calmac isn’t Rodri; Jota isn’t Salah etc etc
I am loathed to critique individual players performances unless I can offer something constructive.
We win and lose as a team. It should be the responsibility of the collective to win games. That means assisting in scoring goals through our build up play, and preventing the loss of goals through our defending as a team.
The latter is an obvious deficiency in our current team.
Look at the goals conceded tonight. In their build up to the first goal, they have the ball wide left (toward our right back). Calmac comes across to assist Juranovic. They quickly play the ball into the centre midfield area, where their player has far too much space (because our no 6 – Calmac – is out of position). Their player then has far too much time to lift his head and pick out his pass. We end up conceding.
Similarly, look at their 3 rd goal. We get drawn out of position defensively as a team. This leaves their scorer free – centrally, at the edge of our box – were he has time to get his shot off. Yes, he got fortunate with the deflection, but he had far too much space in a dangerous area to receive his pass in the first place. Poor positioning defensively from our players.
At any level above SPFL fodder, we need to do a better job as a team at protecting the back 4. We need to defend better as a team.
HH
I expect zero articles from Paul in the future re us having to play teams well into their season – Zenit, Copenhagen, Bodo and turned up off the back of one month off and taught us a lesson.
We are getting out of the PL legacy – let’s hope that we push on in the summer, irrespective of the destination of the league title.
Gegenpress, that everyone seems to deploy these days involves falling back into a defensive formation at times. We do it less than most and rarely in the last minutes of a game.
Just in from the game.
Listened to Ange interview on the radio whilst waiting to get out if car park.
It sounded like a WGS , assessment of the game.
He thought we controlled the game.!!!
