I'm a realist but I think there's a slight possibility after we battered Slovan that Uefa sent a memo Informing us to lay down and take a beating as punishment since we're Scottish side and aren't allowed to beat teams like we did.. 😂 Fortunately that would go beyond the realms of reality and normalcy. I'm just frustrated that our form went out the window and couldn't lay more than a solitary consolation in Dortmund. I thought we were up to the task. We can't be that bad, standing like statues while they play through us like kids in playground. It was improbable and then I get proved wrong. 😮

4 4 2 away in Europe Please

Bit of apathy creeping into the support after that embarrassment. The good feeling will return but I’m dreading Atalanta away 😅😅

I suppose all we can do is try and win well tomorrow and forget about Europe.

Why do I feel that all the good work this season has been totally undone from that embarrassment the other night. Only bloody Celtic!

Three changes are probably about right, with one being due to injury. I don't think making loads of changes after a bad game helps, and we saw what happened against Falkirk in the LC. The players need to bounce back and go again. Ross County is always a tough game .

Dortmund not only outclassed us, but had a night where they would have scored from the car park. Given our overall team performance was so poor, doubt it would have mattered how we set up. Still confident we'll make an impact in the Champions League.The players have to show their true character and form in the upcoming Atalanta game. Thanks Paul, for another great video.

Sick of ccv no being available when it comes to CL ..he better be ready for Atlanta fs

I dont care about losing 7-1 tbh. 1 win from 2 games is a great start in Champions League. And as you say, we'd rather celtic went out and had a pop. Maybe for Atalanta we should park the bus and try and steal a draw, but do we even back ourselves to do that, i dunno. Every year we seem to be suprised that the much bigger clubs with better players beat us. Why do we pumo Ross County but not Madrid! ...

It's early days with Trusty but he looks slow and cumbersome. However he was flung in at the deep end , Johnston was exposed throw scales and Taylor into the mix then that back four is never good enough for that level. Kyogo ran his heart out but no service whatsoever. The midfield was totally overrun. It'll be hard to get up for the game Tomorrow but hopefully we get a good performance.

--> Dortmund's XG (for what it's worth) was 4.48, and they scored 7. Let that sink in. Sure, Celtic took a drubbing, and most of that was due to slack defending and tactics. But, it seemed like Dortmund - and Adeyemi in particular - just couldn't miss.

--> Starting at 2:50, Paul, you have a wonderful analysis of the situation: The debate is "far too binary". Exactly. --> With that said, Once is a fluke; twice is a pattern. Without delving into BR's history in European matches, let's just say that if this happens in Italy in three weeks, the criticism of BR's tactics will not be able to be easily answered.

Ok, bad day in Dortmund. Most fans with common sense, expected to lose, maybe not by so much. Many players just didn't turn up on the night. We are not at this level. We will probably progress and then get slaughtered by another billionaire team. Let's concentrate on the SPFL and our next game.

If Brendan doesn't change his style of play in Europe, we will get done every time. Game Sunday, Ross County 0 CELTIC 4

Paul, I do think Rodgers is trying to Re-Frame the questions on our approach into a Binary Logic. No Celtic fans are saying its a binary between Parking the bus and Gung-Ho. Its Rogers job to find that happy medium. LEts see at the end of January. to be fair to Rodgers we havent lost since March, we won the Double, the signings are better than last year and we have looked excellent this season. SO he does have Credit in the bank. Lets wait.

Totally embarrassing , supposed to be professional players and staff , they must have more than one styles of play

If BR plays 4.3.3 in next champions league game he isn’t learning from past mistakes, Arsenal went there and got point, Aston Villa defended deep at home but those managers had a game plan something BR lacks at elite level, when we beat Barcelona we had about 19% possession , is BR scared of criticism if we don’t play the Celtic way hey BR getting beat 7-1 isn’t the Celtic way either, Celtic are group 5 out of 5 in Europe, Atalanta group 2 etc

It was the worst pumping. The strange thing is, we're playing possibly the best football we've seen from a celtic team for decades, and on the other hand, I've never felt less confident going into the next European match. I expect atalanta to be another really long night and I can't even visualise anything different. Need to beat County tomorrow, regroup and hopefully we come back feeling better after the break.

I didn't mind Brendan coming out swinging but I hope that was just for the press

Hopefully bounce back after Europe disaster and no European hangover thats plagued Celtic for decades. Everyone keeps going on about having 5 in the midfield, but Celtic dont have a enforcer type of defensive midfielder who can defend and win the ball. Also when Celtic where off ball they dropped into 5 in midfield so dont know what people are on about. CalMac cant play like that away from home. Celtic probs still would have lost regardless. Atalanta next, in Europe, dont know what else Rodgers can do and I can see it being another hammering 3-0 or 4-0. As I have said before, Celtic need to make Parkhead a fortress again and get something away to Dinamo Zagreb and that should be enough for the playoffs surely 🤷‍♂️.

Paul, don't dwell on Dortmund result! Plenty of European home games for us to make our mark. It was just one match. Celtic's main job is to win league every year. Keep those skangers from across the city under the thumb. European success will come. Oh, ye of little faith!

None of the midfield deserve to retain their places. McCowan and Hatate should start.

Just how does Rogers expect to get the players up to the level of Dortmund when plyers will only be here for 2 or three years with new players trying to adapt to a difficult system that we are not at a high enough level to compete against top teams.

I'd give Nawrocki a run now alongside Scales i just don't see it with Trusty

Rodgers the guy whp has handed Celtic our worst ever defeats in Europe a number of times now his first time as manager and this his 2nd time many leatherings weve had under him ..He should not be within his job now but is because of modern day snowflakes and Desmond . I said we would lose 3/1 my thoughts i said at time but 7 / 0 so embarrassing for not just Celtic but Scotland as a whole not little ireland but Scotland gets it ..Get him out door vote with your feet . What im saying also is if your on a job of work and make a balls of it , then try again and make a balls of it and then try again and make a balls of it and a 4th time and again make balls of ot and 5th time again leatherings make a balls of it then your tactics away from home are way out of favour as not happening but this guy Rodgers doesnt change no plan B . Away from home majoroty of good sides betetr than us play on breaks and try to defend tight and strongly ..Its best way we should have went not saying would have won no way but score wouldnt have been as many against and may have scored one or two on breaks ? We do have players for breaking out quickly ..Though having said we lack better calibre of defenders and cdefence needs better calibre than Scales and co < although he tries his best and good enough for Spl , but same i say Vickers although wasnt playing via injury he is not European class either i feel , and same with all others in defence . Celtic needed to spend more on defence , and club can easily afford to pay out 12/15m for a better quality than Scales or Trusty with 6m paid for the guy , but he may come good ? although im a firm believer talent shall come good at any time this even when new just in the door as talent prevails over anything . Should pay out more Celtic though , and should be better quality brought in need a big strong bruiser at back but guy who can also play a bit , ad one for midfield also similar big strong and no messing in middle of park , but with the right scouts out there then shall be . Anyhow done now and move on , shall Rodgers learnt in his next away game in italy ? I heard he is not for changing , but time shall tell i think he doesnt listen and does things his own way he likes but should have learnt by now as said fair number of leatherings he has had handed to us in Europe . As for morra id also play Idah up front and same as you others i agree with your team . Well done .

I sometimes disagree Paul but in complete agreement this time, its not one or the other, no one asking that we sit on our own 18 yard box but we are saying we shouldnt be pressing on their 18 yard line , drop a little further , bring the lines closer , dont leave ur captain hopelessly swamped , as for the adeyemi goal at Kasper's near post , if anyone to blame for that its the defender who let him get the shot off

Absolutely no-one expects us to get anything in Bergamo so it's all about how we approach the game tactically and look to build a style for away CL games. We could start with a back 4 of AJ, CCV, Scales and Trusty. All of McGregor, Bernardo, McCowan, Engels and Hatate in midfield and Idah up top. Stay in the game as long as possible and use our normal front 3 in the later stages. Not really what anyone really wants to see but we have to go back back to first principles and build from there in our European matches. If we don't then I worry about the play-off the next season. A season in the Europa might seem attractive right now but the financial gulf is immense.

Paul, you absolutely nailed it when you said it’s not binary. That’s the key, it doesn’t need to be either one of 2 extremes. There has to be some middle ground compromise that means we are a lot tighter all over the pitch while still giving ourselves the chance to assert our attacking prowess when the chance allows. I love BR but he has to adapt to the opposition. My worry is that from what he has said, he won’t and there will be more of these results in the post. I can only hope that what he said and what he actually does are 2 different things. HH. 🤞

Just 5 mind of venting bro lol

best fans tv chanel out there

How were the hangovers on Wednesday? 🤣🍺

Ccv & Taylor are out Valle & trusty will start & honestly think hatate will start as I thought he did a bit more than Bernardo imo!!!! Strachan used to pack the midfield in European away games

7 goals going on 15, thankfully they chilled out and took Brandt and co off early.... An absolute humiliation caused by that midget traitor and his overexuberant play style. Play Maeda up front, put 10 behind the ball and cover up because goal difference could be the difference. You don't fight Mike Tyson and Tyrion Lannister in the same way. MacGregor has no legs for serious midfield battles. Bernardo invisible. Liam Scales sent to the shops by Guirassy with a simple chop. Greg Taylor humiliated. Aaron Trusty knows all about getting slapped about as he was Sheff Utds worst player last year!!! At least the board can count their money eh? The green and white cash cow getting milked and humiliated again. Respect on Carter-Vickers and hopefully the big mans injury clears up before the next CL game. The most important figure at the club right now and the real leader.

My favourite after match report of all time. Loved the passion, the analysis, the polite disagreements and the fact a wee drink had been had. All of you made good points. Watched this in our hotel room in Dortmund after the game and it managed to make me smile despite the massive disappointment. Keep up the great work on your channel.

Ilir Meta, Ex President of Albania, brings luck to Celtic😂

While it was a terrible result we caused our own downfall Coaching should have Been lets shut up shop Slow the game down Weather the storm . The team poorest performance for a while Also if Celtic want to Get to this level Johnson & scales Are not the best defenders and we need to go in to the transfer Market and put some Serious pressure on These guys Defence has been suspect for about 2 years Hopefully we can learn From this and play The way they have played in previous weeks

Battered

It’s mental how shit the Scottish league actually is. 7-1 flattered Celtic, rinse and repeat on the big stage for you lot. I’m sure you’ll hit back against some cannon fodder in the league on the weekend 😅

I would like to see Rodgers playing with the centre halves against ross county and Idah up top with McCowan replacing McGregor in midfield. Even if CCV cant make it play Nawrocki. Midfield of McCowan, Hayate, Bernardo and Engels. Probably Ralston at right back as Johnson looks injured again, with Valle or Maeda at left back and Sinsinalo in goal. We need to tryand change the style whether Rodgers wants too or not. We cannot get another gubbin in Italy. Big Idah also needs togetbetter control of the ball is second touch is a tackle. Keep the faith, Hail Hail

In the grand scheme of things, Scottish team coaches are crap.

LMAO…..pathetic 😂

Sutton and hartson and Lennon on drink three vodka and coke no coke just 7up tonight not much to say.tonight Sutton and the clowns from parkhead disgrace to Scottish football every year no doubt about that that

John Barnes

Dortmund played fantastic and we played like total rubbish .

Rodgers is shit in Europe, we need him sacked if we gotta progress in Europe

Celtic and Palestine,,,,,whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

As good as the first game was, the second was as bad. Rogers needs his head checked. And why did we have Maeda sprinting the length of the field 1 1/2 days before the big game, 6-0 up?? (A forward knackering himself for a defensive tackle, that meant nothing 🤦‍♂️) Fkn daft not thinking ahead for the European game (not just with that example) when the league game was well out of sight. That was an embarrassment, 7-1. Was the captain on the pitch??

It's not new. Brendan just doesn't do well in Europe. He's got to learn.

Even Paul pissed and all as he was would have played better at left back than Taylor. But hey ho onwards and upwards Hail Hail.

Paul looks punch drunk on German hospitality.The best that Scottish football has to offer plummet new depths of incompetency. Are the organisms who play in Scotland even the same species as the rest of Europe? Once again we have to listen to the same virtue signalling drivel of 'best fans = worst teams'
