    "You rest when you have possession" - BR.

    Such a simple concept that 99% of football has adopted, apart from these shores.

    Think that's why it was so frustrating watch our u19's against Anderlecht parking the bus and going long. If we simply moved Hendry inside we'd have dominated them like our first team did to theirs. * mental thinking if we get it bang on at youth level with Brendan's style we'll have a generation that * love being on the ball under pressure and always looking for the simple pass and move.

    A lot of people will be surprised this season with the level the Scottish guys in the team are hitting.
    A few power tackles put them on the backfoot, and when we got the subs on, they soon realized the tempo wasn't gonna drop.

    I never seen it but am surprised at that as the young bhoys played some good football against PSG

    When I saw him in the tunnel first thing I thought was he looks like a keeper you see in the juniors here. Been around the block, has a huge goal kick, can pull off the odd worldie but is ridiculously unfit.

    They did and could have been out of sight playing their passing game. We were equal of PSG. Then second half retreated into our own half and let them come onto us and then we didn't look as smart. But good experience for our wee bhoys.

    Brilliant performance for the last 60mins.
    First 30mins we lacked confidence and belief and looked absolutely petrified...a wee bit like we were against PSG first half. It was a good job Anderlecht were poor.

    Ntcham went from worst player to best after 1 great pass.
    HUGE credit to him...he is a future Celtic captain.

    If Rogers can improve and build the teams confidence in high pressure games from the start, we could be onto something special.
    It will take time, but great results like Wed definitely speed things up.
