How does this season compare to recent seasons?

A quarter final in Europe and treble would be best season since I was born Lisbon was before my time and Seville we didn't win anything

it'll be Saint Brendan

 

This is Celtic Chat mate.

‘Focus on your own team.’

 

Genuinely think that Celtic are one of the only clubs in the world where we could win the treble and still have fans that think the "standard hasnt been good enough".

Folk are never happy - does my * * in.

 

Fans want to be entertained mate. Too many poor performances domestically this season. It’s not just about wins, it’s about playing good football. Fed up sitting 90 mins and only seeing 3 or 4 attempts on target.

We’re a much better squad than that. The level of criticism has been fairly well measured IMO. Praise is rightly being given for accomplishments so far this season, but the quality of performance needs to be improved domestically.

There really is no reason such a highly talented group of players should be struggling to make chances. It looks like it’s a tactical problem domestically and a lack of tempo and urgency.

 

Not as good as last season. Better than most.

 

Still see this season as being a successful one, think it's pretty remarkable given the output of games we've had to play since Brendan took over how competitive we've been, it's easy to think of last season as a benchmark, naturally you will look back and compare last year but to be at this stage in the season and be in with a shout of another treble highlights how competitive we've been surely, even with the additional European commitments.

Brendan OUT!

 

We have been our own worse enemy in my honest opinion.

Teams have found us out and we haven't changed our formation and a big factor has been we never got out recritment right in the last two windows for me.

We had all the excusess before the break, abiut being knacketed and needing a rest but thats clearly not the case.

We need to change our football style is not working like last season and Rodgers has been found out, also playing players who have been so out of form has not helped.

Need to make sure we get this title won and then build in the summer, I've said a few times this summer will be our most important for the 10 with getting the quality we need in the correct positions.

 

If we win the treble again that will be some achievment no matter how we've played

 

All about the winning for me if you don't win you don't get the funds that can help your team play the best football and celtic this season have played the best football might not be the same standard as last season but injuries have affected the team badly this year

This would have been unthinkable last season, they've finally found a goal scorer and our goal scorers from last season have been injured for most of the season. James Forrest 2nd highest goal scorer on 17, the wee man has dug us out a hole this season.

 

Nothing to do with comparing to last season mate. The performances have been poor for the squad we have. Injuries have played their part and so has the number of fixtures, but it’s still been too poor too often. I’m hoping Rogic and Roberts will make a difference until the end of the season.

 

We have had no fluency nor consistency this season, injuries probably do play a part but these players play together everyday in training. sounding again like a broken down record to get to 27 games played and the best winning run is 3 matches in the league for Celtic irrespective of last season is unacceptable for me, celtic at least 2 times in the season should be putting together 8-10 game winning runs with the squad and resource we have. We have 6 crucial games to the spilt;

Aberdeen (a)
Dundee (h)
Sevco (a)
Motherwell (a)
Ross County (h)
Hamilton (a)

Do you honestly see us winning all 6 of those games to the split, even with players coming back, for me last season you would have backed us to win all 6 convincingly without worry, also if we beat Zenit we have a EL game the thursday before sevco and thursday before motherwell, as much as i would like to go through tonight SPFL is bread and butter, time to focus on the league and Scottish Cup for me, probably only fan who wouldnt be bothered if we dont go through tonight.

 

I think a big factor is some teams also just getting better. Like Killie. Yeh we should still be beating them but expecting to go undefeated again is madness.

 

Dont think anyone expected that again not a chance was it going to happen. What is a concern is the lack of fluency in the SPFL Premiership for me, we have looked abject most of the season whilst still being top goal scorers and best defence but the lack of a run of wins is a concern for me.

 

Going by history of the last two season they did so here's hoping

We've gone further and pushed harder in Europe, league performances were never going to be as strong on the back of that.

Injuries have also played a massive part.

I look at last season in comparable way to when Leicester won the league, the players can obviously achieve that level hence why they achieved what they did. But to ask them to maintain that unnatural superhuman form without being Messi or Ronaldo just isn't possible because quite simply it really was unnatural.
