    You are joking right? That’s a group aswell not a XI. Our current team is completely bog standard aswell.

    Relieved to still be in Europe but that was just * poor. We cant even justify it with the gap in finances argument that has be used to excuse unprecedented pumpings.

    As has been said. The away result flattered us. That was no way a thumping and they could have score at least as many with the chances created.

    That was awful, our players look like they can't cope with the atmosphere whilst opposition teams seem to thrive in it. That result is more embarrassing than getting humped off the likes of PSG and gives a much better indicator of where we are on a European stage. Praying for an ok draw in the Europa League.

    Ledley of then would be brilliant. We need someone who is switched on and doesn't lose the ball.

    Also hope that's the end of Stuart Armstrong for some time.

    We need a big monster Wanyama type for Europe. We've always had a solid hard working just generally hard midfield. Hartley Robson Broony Wanyama Ledley the players we have now are good in their own right but not what we need in Europe

    One of the worst performances under Rodgers. We were dreadful. Yes, great to be in Europe after Christmas, but the fans deserve a lot better, 3 home defeats is unacceptable. Wanted us to show a bit of class and wrap up the 3rd place finish in style.

    Well, that was a strange one for my first CL game. Brilliant atmosphere as expected, but a poor performance barring a spell at the start of the second half. Amazed that Ntcham didn't start over Armstrong, and while I like Dembele and Edouard, I really feel for Griffiths as he's done nothing wrong but he is continually finding himself left out. We definitely need a couple of strong signings in January, go out and show that we want to compete in the EL.

    Shoutout to the guy behind me who, in the first half when the ref called a foul after a fair challenge from Moussa, belted out "That's *! Just cause hes got the upper body strength of a Weetabix". :56:

    Going in to that game with Armstrong and McGregor supporting Brown was * suicidal, couldn't ask for two more lightweight players. At least McGregor gives a * but Armstrong just hasn't been at the races all season.

    We can't defend and give the ball away too easily teams have passed their way through us too easily

    Our passing goes to * when we play in Europe I'm trying to see the progression of the performances from last season but quite frankly we are nowhere near as good 3 pts wasn't good enough last season 3pts gets us Europa league football this ,really disappointed with how we played tonight

    We were * because they knew they were 3-0 up.

    Team didn't look up for it at all.

    Anyway, one to forget.

    Brendan says one thing in the press and the team does another. Did we * play like it was “zero zero” tonight. His management for this game needs questioned. Admitted at half time that he started the wrong team as well.

    Where has the luck been this season?

    I do think it’s debatable whether we’ve made serious progress from last season or not but I think to say we’ve been lucky is harsh. We got a * of a CL group, granted we did play in Brussels at good time.

    Just got home from the game. I really thought we would have put on a show tonight, we got the tactics all wrong.

    Armstrong has not recovered form since the agent and resigning talks took place. I don't know if it knocked him outta his stride. He needs to get the head down and back to playing th intelligent midfield role he made his own. * everything else at the moment, prove your worth. You have the absolute ability and attitude to do it.

    Is their a shitiest possible way to scrape 3rd place? Imagine paying £120 to watch they 3 games. 1 goal. 1 * goal. And we only held a draw for like 2 minutes before we conceded again. Get your * act together Celtic.
