Rose will cure what ails Leipzig soon

By on CQN BLOG & Comments

I watched Leipzig lose 3-0 to Borussia Monchengladbach on Saturday evening.  It was not the reassuringly bad performance by our Champions League opponents the score line suggests.  Leipzig showed plenty of effort throughout, even when the outcome was beyond doubt.

They were frustrating in attack and porous in defence; a bit like Celtic the following day, but in the Bundesliga, punishment is more acute than anything we are likely to see in Paisley.  Leipzig are a team lesser than its constituent parts.  In time, that will change.  Celtic’s concern with this issue will be over three weeks today, when the second of our doubleheader against them takes place.

We return to action at home to Motherwell, four days before our game in Germany.  Another chance for Ange Postecoglou to rotate the squad?  That’s significantly less likely now than pre-Paisley.  At the same time, Leipzig are home to bottom of the gable, Bochum, who have one point from seven outings.  They could not have handpicked an easier warmup for our meeting.

What is less reassuring for Marco Rose, who took over as Leizig manager two weeks ago, is that like Celtic, the bulk of his squad departed for international duty since the weekend.  He will not get an opportunity to work with them as a group until a couple of days before the Bochum game.  Even that game is unlikely to provide a useful test of progress.

Whatever ails Leipzig, Rose will cure their vulnerable soon.  Celtic have to exploit a team in flux and find two performances in the next three weeks that can define their season.

    This funeral will be off the scale as far as costs are concerned.

    Eyes on the prize , we only have one team and proved on Sunday a ‘B’ looking team regardless of the squad depth, won’t win us the leagues that lead to the Leipzigs.

    BBC now saying CQN is a magazine.

     

     

    “French top-flight club Marseille are keeping tabs on Oscar Gloukh, who is reported to be a target for Celtic, according to CQN Magazine.”

    Early morning news I’m sure i heard he was moving into Buck house after the refurb is finished at a cost of £370 million to the taxpayer.

     

     

     

    It was early doors so may have got things muddled up.

    Just the three things questionable with the St Mirren killer goal,

     

     

    Throw in should have been ours , foul on Stephen Welsh and offside to boot.

    ‘Leipzig showed plenty of effort throughout, even when the outcome was beyond doubt.’

    Is this a joke?

     

    Surely that is the least that every player in every club, especially those earning a fortune, should contribute.

     

    It’s certainly not praiseworthy.

    RB Leipzig also a had long night in Madrid in their legs and only made a couple of changes from Wednesday.

     

     

    It might be that other teams chose to do what we did at the weekend and rotate key players, but a lot of teams who played in the CL drew or lost against teams they’d normally expect to beat.

     

     

    It looks like back to back midweek CL in a week had an effect. I’m glad for the break this week :)

    Paul67 wasn’t praising it. Having watched the game, unlike the rest of us he was trying to give context to the result that we might have thought showed a poor performance or problems with motivation from the new manager.

    It highlights the problems that all CL teams face – either run your best players into the ground or risk dropping points by resting them.
