    The worrying thing about tonight is Brendan seems to unable to galvanise the team.I wonder if any one watched Salzburg before tonight,same tactics,same mistakes,same result.We don’t seem to learn anything from our defeats in Europe.Lustig and Hendry are a liability and there is only so much Boyata can do to cover for them.This bland statement from Brendan tells us nothing.

     

     

    Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers said: “I thought in the first half we started well. By the end of the half we had frustrated Salzburg.

     

    “Second half we gave away disappointing goals, that was the frustration for us. From that they gained confidence and I’ll need to analyse the game again, but my feeling was we didn’t retain the ball well enough either.

     

    “It was a disappointing result for us in the end.”

    Very disappointing euro peformance again..we really are struggling just now.both wings got destroyed especially our right but KT also has to stop more crosses getting into box,turned his back a few times tonight.Lustig a favourite of mine is finished tho he get very little decent help from JF.Griff i agree is havin a laugh..hes not fit and does not work anywhere near hard enough.Seen both sinclair and griff make runs away from loose ball to avoid chasing back..not on bhoys.

    I reckon we’ll end this group with the three points we’ve already got.

     

     

    In other news, we should enjoy Boyata while we have him. We’ll not see that quality next season – or beyond.

    While the board certainly deserve criticism, it has been noted that we have been getting well-beaten over the years by teams with lesser resources – especially away from home. Our spend isn’t too dissimilar to the side we were beaten by tonight and you can feel the expectations getting lower each season.

     

     

    Yes, RB Salzburg are doing well domestically. Yes, they had a decent run last year but to my mind, they have only been in the CL group stages once. They are Europa League fare make no mistake and the worst thing is, tonight was no surprise.

     

     

    So what’s to blame? Do we throw more money at our team? Is something wrong with our scouting? Is British football simply not fit for purpose at European level?

     

     

    And the big question, with the invincible season a lovely memory how much credit does Brendan have in the bank? At what stage do we start to ask if he’s getting the best out of the resources at his disposal?

    MNCELT

     

     

    Cameo appearances?

     

     

    Ntcham is not interested and should be nowhere near a Celtic shirt.

     

     

    Mulumba and Broony first names on the team sheet

     

     

    Not those lazy uninterested buggers picking up there wages in return for very little at this time.

     

     

    Like Ntcham, Forrest, Sinclair, McGregor, Simunovic,

     

     

    Forrest has just signed a new 4 (?) year deal ffs!

     

     

    What can we really expect from him?

     

     

    Far too inconsistent for my liking.

     

     

    In my opinion we might as well give Christie, Mulumba, Arzani, Gamboa, Johnson an extended run.

     

     

    Otherwise it’s more of the same shite…………………..unless we change the manager.

  11. ruggygman on

    The transition from a good side… drawing twice versus ManCity, and drawing against Borussia Munchengladbagh in Germany… to the current team who are less than mediocre….

     

     

    That transition has been deliberate. And has been engineered by Lawell and plc board.

     

     

    They have deliberately overseen this. And yet the majority (fans) just accept this.

     

     

    Sad.

     

     

    There is not one ounce of quality left.

  13. PeterLatchfordsBelly on

    As others have said, the league is the priority. We’re not really good enough even for the EL and we don’t have the margin for error at home to waste energy in Europe. We are a much poorer team than 2 years ago. The optimism I had then for a great Celtic team has gone. Back to Ronny standard I fear. Make sure we win the league. That’s what matters, however we do it.

  15. danso_1888 on

    what is sickning is mr lawell desmond when he can be bothered see this and see nothing wrong its the money they just want and celtic fans keep giving talk about the zombies gezzz

  18. david17 on

    Two pub teams at Ibrox. We get Salzburg they got Vienna who aren’t 1/10 of the former.

  19. Alasdair MacLean on

    Rangers never allowed an Austrian team to score at Ibrox.

     

    Sevco didn’t quite manage to start a similar statistic.

  23. Delaneys Dunky on

    All is well. A team in Green and White score an offside goal in doomdome. Magic hahaha

  25. celtic40me on

    That moment of clarity when you realize that it doesn’t matter what’s going on you’re going to be reading the same stuff in the comments section.

  26. glendalystonsils on

    Another truly depressing Euro display. If Brendan isn’t backed in his stated aim to make us more competitive in Europe ,we will have more nights like this. Taking nothing away from Salzburg ,who are a good ,if not quite top flight european side , we were several players short of even being competitive. Edouard (goal or not) Ntcham, Griffiths ,McGregor were all unacceptably poor . Lustig did some good work but why oh why did he turn his back on the cross for their second goal? A tailors dummy would be better at stopping crosses ,and his lack of pace caused a few more problems besides.

  30. ruggygman on

    Just an idea… but see instead of keeping an eye on Sevco and their scores.

     

    Maybe more of us should be looking inwardly and keep an eye on Lawell who is literally robbing every single one of us. And laughing at how easy it is

  32. Delaneys Dunky on

    The Japanese and Israel players for Salzburg were magic. Forget their names but they ran us ragged. Great pair.

    I can’t see the squad winning the league well – our own inconsistency will be our biggest challenger.

  35. weebobbycollins on

    Brendan must hate doing post-match interviews after European away games…I certainly hate listening to them…historically, we are a big deal at home and lambs to the slaughter away from Celtic Park…but nowadays, even our home form is very inconsistent…to be honest, I thought we would grow in Europe under Brendan’s coaching…it hasn’t happened. We are a poor European team at this moment…

  36. ruggygman on

    I wouldn’t mind if Ntcham, Lustig, McGregor, Forrest, and Griffiths all dropped out the team.

     

     

    Ralston given an opportunity at right back.

     

    Boyata and Benckovic at centre half.

     

    Mulumbu in beside Brown.

     

    Rogic operating in number 10 role.

     

    Lewis Morgan in the side ahead of Forrest

     

     

    There’s definite scope to mix it up a bit. Too many under performing

  37. eddieinkirkmichael on

    Totally outclassed by an Austrian team, not sure what there turnover is I bet it’s similar to ours. Why.have we went backwards in the last two years is a question we must all ask. God we are even struggling to beat teams that wouldn’t hack it in the conference down south.

  40. Friesdorfer on

    Don’t know about the upper reaches of the EL, suspect we are out of our comfort zone in the group stage. Sadly. HH

  41. connaire12 on

    Many valid points have been made about the performance of individual players this evening. Personally I am of the opinion that these players have not contributed much all season. Others like Kieran appear to be going backwards and certain like Calum and Sinclair appear to be players that will always get a game with Brendan, no matter how poorly they have been performing..

     

     

    All evening Gordon by his constant kicking of balls into to our opponents half started more attacks than any of their players. During all of this, our coaching staff sat in the dugout looking into space. Why are the same mistakes being repeated week after week?

     

     

    When the young lhads came on we got a little fire in the belly. Take note, Brendan. Drop some of your favourites or we will fail in the SPFL as well.
