Bully Wee Villa Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 In fairness, I haven't seen much Europa League since they took the highlights away from shIteTV so you may be right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin_Nevis Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 I must have missed something. A few weeks back Sevco fans were growing about Celtic's bad results and their own decent performances. What happened? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCelt67 Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 Well, that was stinking. Have the feeling that should Salzburg needed the win, they'd have taken four off us. Rogic strolls through most matches like it's a bounce game, tonight he put in the sort of performance you'd expect from a guy who won a raffle, with the prize being getting to play for your team in a bounce match. Gordon was keeping us in it until his brain farted for their second goal. McGregor, who's been great in his new role, seemed lost tonight. Truth be told, very few get pass marks tonight. Rosenborg have now given us Oor Harald and European football after Christmas. What a smashing bunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rosenborg have now given us Oor Harald and European football after Christmas. What a smashing bunch. Salzburg are a cracking side and by a distance the best I have seen in the Europa League this season so far. They fancy their chances at winning the thing, and rightfully so. Celtic really struggled with their passing and their counter attacks, RBS have the high press absolutely mastered and anything that was even the slightest bit off was pounced on. Rogic was maybe affect most by that as he lacks pace at the best of times, getting no space to take a touch meant he was left looking like an amateur. I thought Celtic started the second half well, with Scott Brown far more effective than any of the other midfielders on show. Shame for Christie that he picked up that injury, was on some run of form, and as mentioned, Gordon had kept Celtic in it up until that horror show of a second goal. 9 points from that Group was what I tipped at the start, was questionable as to whether it would get them through, but it, and deservedly so. Can't see them going much further though, Frankfurt, Villareal or Zagreb probably the best draws in terms of giving them a decent chance at it.

Romeo Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 Salzburg did to us what we sometimes do to teams here. They were first to everything and we really struggled to cope. It was obvious early on that we missed Brown in the middle.Anyway, great to be through. I'd be happy to keep whatever tie we get alive going into the 2nd game.

Gotta assume Leverkusen are worse than Leipzig (although less likely to rest players at this stage). That bad, eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He put the cross in a great place for a centre forward. We need our main striker to gamble more, a rich seam of goals available there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScarf Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 The main striker had dropped 5 yards and was unmarked in the box? Who's fault was it he didn't get the ball? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OSP Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 Overall chuffed to get through, didn't expect to when the draw was originally made. Highly suspect a pumping is on it way for us in the next round. Genk would be about the only mob we'd have a good shout beating. Those saying Frankfurt clearly don't know anything about them. They would shite all over us I'm afraid. Oh, and looking back at the comments from when we went behind, to Rosenborg equalising... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OSP Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 Just now, The_Judge said: You just finished above RB Leipzig who are a place above Eintracht in the German league? I know, but RBL played a second string in almost every game. And in the end it's cost them. Frankfurt have taken it much more seriously. Rebic is an outstanding player, Jovic is banging them in for fun and although Haller looks like a big diddy at times, he still gets plenty of goals. RBL's first 11 v Frankfurt's first 11 would be close, but we struggled against their reserves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
