Ange did a superb job recovering the league title last season on a small budget and his good recruitment and did so in a very Celtic attacking way with a support united and together backing the team and players.
The champions league can be brutal if you don’t have the quality to compete at that level and weakness is punished.
We are physically weak, our tiny tots at full back are yet again exposed to any form of diagonal balls and our midfield played through with ease. We never stop, should mean for 90 minutes not the usual 60 when our skilled played get goosed.
It was 0-0 when the subs were made and Turnbull and Forrest defended like they were still on the bench watching the match as Leipzig poured forward in numbers.
Why Hatate is asked to run about chasing lost causes beats me when he is the ideal sitting receiver to build the play then he might last longer in matches.
I’m not saying J.J. is a bad player but play him further forward with Ralston behind and on the other side Maeda and Taylor are a bomb scare together.
Kyogo is now looking at the bench every week knowing he’s coming off instead of playing 2 through the middle adding a striker to support him.
The whole match can be summed up when Maeda broke wide and instead of being confident and heading to goal he booted a cross aimlessly to nowhere where as Leipzig were composed and confident on the ball for most of the game.
Yes we missed players last night but CCV apart we struggled in defence though Joe Hart had a very good game too that quality and presence is so needed at this level.
i have said many time Sky Sports stop Celtic being able to compete at this level when they splash out money to allow clubs like Southampton to take our players and provide the funds to let English side buy over priced players.
yes i hate the TORIES and i hate STURGEON too and PUTIN even more but i go to Celtic park to support and shout about the Celtic football club
