Ok, so in attempts to get in the head of RD here, I believe the squad size for Europe is 25. So who or what would you add to the players below?? I left out the youngsters breaking through, because in my opinion these lads need to prove themself in the league before they get into the European squad:
Keepers
Gordon
Bailly
Fasan
Defenders
Izzy
Mulgrew
VVD
Boyata
Lustig
Ambrose
Fisher
Janko
Midfield/attack
Johansson
Brown
Biton
Rogic
GMS
Armstrong
Commons
Stokes
Forrest
Henderson
Boerritger
Centre forwards
Griffiths
Ciftci
Scepovic
Looking at this, I think it's quite clear we need another defender and definitely 1 or 2 other strikers to allow for injuries/suspensions etc. I know Stokes can play up front, but assuming he and Scepovic leave, I think we need at least another striker and a LB. I know this sums up what everyone has been saying on here, but I thought I'd state the obvious reasons behind these posts

A can see a few of them above being away soon mate derk stokes maybe even scepovic aswell can't see him having a future atal and if Everton are willing to pay 10 million fir Virgil what's been mentioned if stones goes to Chelsea he will be away aswell and if this were to happen we would be really short in a few areas if the team stayed the way it is right now nobody leaving would be a left back and another cb and cf for me but suppose 5 months to crimbo so can start my wish list to santa already haha

Totally agree mate with the possibility of lads moving on. I think the biggest hole we have right now is that if scepovic and stokes leave(which seems likely) we're left with a center forward who's banned for the beginning of the season, and Griffiths. Surely RD must be looking to get a striker in before letting scepovic or stokes go??

Stephenm your exactly the type of coach that's ruining the game. Commons has been an inspiration at Celtic both on and off the park. His ability to change a game is shown statistics, and instead of having a go at the negatives behind a player, you need to start paying more attention to the positives. It is easy to tear apart any player by throwing out useless comments such as "cost us just as many games as he's won", geez u could even say that about Broony. Instead of learning a 'craft' I encourage you to focus on your own team's positives, and leave the concentration on negatives to the opposition - aka play to your own teams strengths and your opposition's weaknesses.
Commons has done a job for us on multiple occasions, full stop! He still is, even although getting on a bit. Just embrace the fact that he has ability and let's not try to get a guy that people like Henderson have idolized at the club, transferred or disliked.
If you're first reaction to this post is defensive, think where we'd be if we focused on negatives such as jinky too short, aitken poor first touch, Di canio poor temperament etc etc. When a players positives have the ability to far outweigh their negatives. That's someone worth keeping! Hail Hail!

Yes! It's not even that he has to change it forever, but surely everyone can see how predictable we have become. There comes a time when every team needs to play to an opposition's weaknesses, and so far RD has yet to show me that he can change things to do that. We play this 'system' like it was the only option we have, and it's killing us when we come up against average sides who simply do their homework.

Can you really blame the players? They tried to adjust and buy in last season, to a formation that is a nightmare to play to. Both wings are forced not only to track back, but they're isolated going forward with only the odd piece of magic (or luck) allowing Griffiths to get in the end of anything. People wonder why we go back and forth so often without getting the ball in the box, but it's because this formation is so regimented we have very little opportunity for players to lose their marker and/or get in behind them. So as a player who wouldn't get frustrated. This 'system' is working against us in a big way, and hopefully the players can get RD to change his mindset. It's ruining him as a manager. Really hoping he can lose this stubbornness.
