I am totally gutted from last night not that we got beat but more than for the manner we got beaten I am sorry to say but I think the tactics of just holding on to the ball even when we are 2-0 down and out were bemusing to me you don't win a game when you are losing by just ball possetion it's by getting the ball into the opposition net yet for most of the game we seamed to be happy at just keeping possetion not going to blame any individual player for last night just the tactics.

The basic errors have never went away and whenever we go a goal down, (especially an early goal) any confidence and cohesion just evaporates and even when we do try to keep possession, very few seem to know what to do with the ball and fail to find a teammate.
The slow keep-ball - especially in our own half, just plays into opponents hands, but then the pressure gets to the players and we lack ideas, motivation and concentration - leading to more errors.
Broony always has to cover a shaky back line and whoever goes missing in midfield, where the lack of experience is exposed.
The difference between Celtic home and away in Europe is drastic as we have shown for a long time, but whether the players - and manager learn from these results remains to be seen.

The most important thing right now is for the players to fully focus on domestic matters and get Thursday out of their system, so that we can all appreciate the challenges that we CAN conquer and worry about preparing for improvement in Europe once we have won the right to be there - and see what the summer brings?
