    We can deny it all we want, but we're turning into the team everyone wants to draw, for all the wrong reasons. Looking at 4 or 5 defenders in the summer, plus 3 or 4 other outfield players. Made a right * of it in the January window.

    I have zero issues in passing from the back and neither goal came from it either.

    The players carry the can for tonight. Rodgers didn’t force Brown and Izzy to be * in and out of possession. And what was the alternative from the squad? Hayes and Bitton?

    I’d play Hayes over Izzy but that’s no saying much to be fair!

    KT can’t last the tempo he’s being playing at over the last few years, surely to Christ Rodgers knows this - why hasn’t this, along with the CB issue, no been addressed?

    And moving McGregor to accommodate Brown....just doesnae work I’m afraid.

    So aye, I think both the players and management need to take responsibility.

    Playing Hayes at left back away to Valencia would be suicide IMO. Just need to hope KT is there.

    I agree about shifting McGregor, that lesson still hasn’t been learned.

    Canny wait to be told how we’ll learn from tonight and be better for it.

    Been hearing the same pish for 3 years.

    When it comes to European football he’s massively out of his depth.

    £2.5m a year and a £60m budget to beat Scottish teams. Wit a life.

    Should have brought Ajer on and went 3 at the back for the last 10 mins or so.

    Mental that we had an unused sub with some of the performances tonight.

    BR: The first 15 minutes we started well. Good control and pressed the game well. Valencia are a team who wait on your mistakes. They were very organised and compact. We made too many mistakes and they capitalised on that.

    BR: "You really need to concentrate, certainly at this level, against good players. It ended up being a disappointing night for us."

    BR: "You have to have belief at this level. We have good players and might have one or two back next week. If we get the first goal then it could set us up for a really good second-leg.

    BR: "It's basic mistakes and concentration. When you're working at this level, you have to take care and do the basics really well. It's something we'll have to go away, look at and learn from it."

    BR: "We'll dust ourselves off. We have important game in the league at the weekend and the players will be ready."

    Yeah KT away but I would’ve started Hayes tonight. Either way , neither of the 2 fill me with confidence.

    Issue we’re gonna have is convincing a half decent LB to play second fiddle.

    We don't have the personnel to out-perform better teams consistently at this level. Pragmatism should have been adopted long ago.

    Until we do that performances like tonight, Salzburg (both legs), Gladbach, Anderlecht will continue to occur.

    I don't want to hear the line "we'll learn from this" again. I want to see the evidence that we have by way of improved performance.

    This is not Brendan's mess. I do hate how he insists on passing it around the back (always dangerous) but he is trying to create a team that's doesn't fear anyone, a team that's holds it's own in Europe, we cannot fault the man for that.

    But look at that back line, Izzy comes back (on free if I remember correctly and injured) and a loan on toljan. Next to simunovic, he isn't up to the mark and boyata a huffy * who isn't brilliant either. What's the total cost of that back line? Less then £6M I'd imagine? As a outlay atleast. And during a week we are giving it large about how much in the black we are!? Not Rodgers fault at all. All at the top in my mind

    Very rarely do I criticise the boss but taking off our best player,Sinky,was awful imo.
    Izzy shat the nest 4 times tonight,not good enough for Celtic.

    Brendan wonders why the team has no belief post European pumpings when the whole pre match build up is how good the opposition are....from him..

    He never ever learns in Europe.

    He’s not a good manager outside of domestic football. In fact he’s *

    Play it out the back with guys like Ajer and Benkovic - no those two numpties. Folk have pointed it out tonight and plenty of times before ...we need to be smarter when playing opposition like this!

    Why did we have no centre mid on the bench tonight in Bitton or anything?

    A game that was gonna be grueling for our midfield trio with how they pass, move and press and we didn't have one centre mid on the bench?

    Frightening..
