Enjoyed last night's game, strange but true. With a little more luck, cooler heads and better finishing could easily been 10-0.

But last night's game does tell us somethings, We are a very young team and players need to learn how to break down this type of opposition.

Sorry to say watching a replay of the Barcelona game would have been a good training video on how to score against inferior oppenents.

I have some concerns Gordon is turning into a new bombscare he lacks confidence makes rash decisions and panics under pressure, sorry but he needs to go.

I also have worries over Armstrong he made no short telling passes around the penalty area. Compare this to both Rogic and Christie who continue to improve.

We need to find a strong forceful midfield player and that must be a priority for January.

Enjoyed Siminovic but prefered when he played on the right side of the central defence, think him and O'Connell could be the defence next year.

I like the look of Christie and even though he has had very limited chances, I hope he gets a wee run in the side soon as we certainly improved in and around the box when he came on - even though they were tiring.

may be a little left field - but what about getting a decent left back and letting Tierney play further advanced?

he was impressive last night and just thinking he was better that JF and PR last night - not afraid to take a man on or have a good shot.

I thought Rogic was terrible last night.

Thought Ryan Christie was excellent when he came on, fast good ball control and v good vision . Thought James Forrest had an excellent game, thank God Brendan Rodgers quickly seen what he can bring to the table . Some fans wanted rid .
It's very seldom K Tierney doesn't play well and last night he was really v good . However it's a completely kettle of fish, getting the ball facing opposition goals and often getting time to move forward before coming into contact with opponents, than what Forest and Roberts have to face, often receiving ball and defender (s) at one time .

Two great goals eventually, maybe Dembele would be better playing in the Rogic role with maybe a little bit of space .

{Ed007's Note - Apart from his goal Forrest was rank rotten and was back to being as bad as ever with his decision making, watch the game again and see how many moves broke down when the ball went to Forrest, how many times did he beat his man and when he did his crossing and passing inside the box was pitiful.
There wasn't one Celtic player had an excellent game last night - Christie done well when he came on - but it was an overall dreadful performance against opposition we should be running over the top of.
Going on his form over the last few games I expect Forrest to pick up an injury in the next month or so, some people call it deja vu.}

Have to agree with Ed, he took the goal really well, lovely ball from Christie, but he still isn't consistent enough in terms of end product, I hope he does manage the season without layoff but for me I'm genuinely not sure how his final pass, shot, cross etc hasn't developed. He has been with celtic a good while now n is it confidence in game situations or just not enough practice of the parts of the game he is weak on.
Look at how Beckham pinged a ball in for man united from right wing, it should be 1 touch n cross it n also on the run past a man n cross that should be drilled over n over again.
Certainly not a vintage performance from us, we are through none the less but gordon was truly awful, didn't rate him for hearts n I don't rate him now either.

I'd like Christie to be Rogics back up as the number 10 role he has better pace and would be more creative and goal threat than Armstrong.

Forrest cannot get his final baw right. He scored a great goal but if you watch game again and count the number if times he fecks up the final baw it's clear he still has a way to go.

How either Mcgreggor or Forrest get a game before Christie, will develop into a bigger mystery to me than people who like semolina and prunes.

Could have been 10 nil. Should have been, let's hope we save that type of tanking for our friends across the city I. the semi final.

Hopefully they will have been gubbed by the Dons and Farts before we do them ensuring the not so magic hat is finally shown up for what it is.

Delusional wishful thinking fanned by sevconian journos who build them up for everyone to enjoy them crashing.

They believe anything.

Makes my day.
