After less than 4 months Brendan Rodgers has given most of us hope that Celtic are on the way to something good . We not only took on what is currently the best team in the EPL and shared 6 goals equally, but we carried the game to them tried to play football for the whole game . To me we have two major areas to improve our defensive set- up and the over- all fitness of our squad .
We just hadn't the legs troops mount or sustain an attack in the final minutes .

I agree with the defensive problems. But the fitness is something the we will not be able to improve with players we have. They gave their all and couldn't ask for more. But chasing balls down at the intensity they did took it out them.

Madyin67 Surely time will build up fitness Brendan's game plan requires maximum levels of fitness . Brendan is picking the players he knows will strive for this fitness level, it will take time but it will, come.

I'm not sure players do get fitter and fitter and fitter and fitter and fitter and cover more and more and more km per game. I don't think it works like that. I used to think it did. I think the improvements from a good base is marginal and the very best find the marginal improvements consistently and also know how to play the game and where to play the game ( otherwise known as game intelligence )

We need to learn to play smarter.

Paradisewon. I imagine when we play the top club in Germany Spain England and France they will all out smart us and probably out pass us for much of the game, the one area we might be able to better them is out work them if Brendan can get our players to a new level of fitness and determination . No team likes their back four to be pressurised along with their goalie and they can crack and their confidence drop.
