    I wonder if Rodgers kept Rogic for the weekend, knowing we never had much of a chance and he'd need to put in some fecking shift.

    Anyway we will learn from it and use it for the home game, with the crowd behind us and Rogic Dembele Jozo starting we could get a result.

    1st half was shades of the PSG game, 2nd we improved. Armstrong is a weak link against the top tier opponents. Rogic showed why he should started, he must start when they come to Celtic park. Forrest also had a good go. Sinky unlucky to have goal ruled out. Gordon MOTM despite conceding three.

    Just happy it wasn't another 5+ humiliation. On to the next game and hopefully we are due a great night at CP when Bayern return.

    Said the other day id consider it a success if we came away with a 3-0 defeat, still stings though.

    Pity we didn't get the goal I thought our play deserved. Had a few chances too.

    We automatically looked better when Dembele and Rogic came on.

    Once again though, it's the defence that let us down. Marking in the first half in particular, was absolutely dreadful.

    To be fair to our players, I think most of them had one eye on the semi with Lennys Hibs!!!

    Next time I want Griffiths and Dembele up top. We don't have the quality to repeatedly build attacks from the back or dominate big sides.

    Diffrence dembele makes ,Sinclair reads him well same with Roberts and Sinclair ,ntcham ,not for me ,McGregor everyday ,I don't know why he is not getting a chance away in Europe .
    Much better second half, ok they dropped of a little to,but we need more belief ,and we need to close down the space around the players who could receive the ball, like they were doing ,it made it so difficult for us to play out of defence .
    Gordon seems to have this strange thing where he thinks he can't handle the ball when saving at times ,seen him do this before when under pressure .
    Not great over all but not a total disaster ,boyata has an amazing game tonight ,my.motm.

    Could have been worse.
    Would start Rogic over Ntcham in two weeks, he gives the ball away far to cheaply. Near the end we showed something. Problem is, they're just a class above us. Gordon was excellent to only concede three I felt. Desperately need Jozo fit though

    Can't believe he never started Forrest.

    Overall thought we done well at times. Thought Tierney and Boyata were outstanding. Forrest and Dembele simply have to always be starting for us in Europe. Their composure, keeping the ball and physicality can drag us up the park and keep possession. Roberts gives the ball away far too much and thinks he can beat everyone on the park.

    Thought Ntcham and Brown were probably the best they've been in the groups so far this season.

    Any way to complain about Rob McLean commentating on our games? I don't mind impartial but he's just a hun using this as only opportunity he'll get to gloat. *!

    Most annoying thing is that it's silly school boy mistakes that's cost us.

    Each one of the goals tonight were avoidable, but we all knew that if we made the same mistakes as we did in Belgium then Bayern are of that level who punish that.

    Frustrating tonight which speaks a lot about where I feel we've got to under Brendan in that what I saw tonight was a Celtic team still struggling to shake that fear of playing in Europe knowing full well they have it in them to perform.
