Ewan8472 Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 I do not think I have seen anything as crazy on a football pitch as Celtic's attempts to play out from the back ! The ball either went to the Dutch , or out for a throw in 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Golden God Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Someone should have told AZ they’re allowed to score from chances they create and not just ones Celtic gift them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were significantly better than any team we will play domestically this season Spot on - I thought you were fortunate tonight but you are in the next round which is what matters. You won’t be put under any pressure domestically which isn’t a bad thing as your defence and gk are defo the weakest part of your team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree to an extent if it was Barkas who made that mistake his arse completely collapses and we ship a bucketload. Hart did make some good important saves but the howler is a fucking belter. Welsh didn’t help him by letting the ball bounce. Everyone knows our defence needs a lot of work. We need at the minimum another centre half and a left back however if this was last season we would have lost this tie comprehensively. They at least showed determination and bottle again something sorely lacking last season. Its progress so we have to be relatively happy and if f**k all else it’s exciting to watch Edited August 26, 2021 by Jinky67 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigDoddyKane Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 (edited) The fear descended after the 2nd howler and playing it out of defence while AZ pressed very well high up became like a horror show but once Eddy came on and could hold the ball for the midfield the game turned. Its clear we need that type of striker against good teams in europe who can hold the ball. That and a left back. If we can get those 2 it will make a big difference. The result last night is all that matters, we were playing with 3 young Defenders with little experience in domestic football let alone away from home in europe, they will improve a lot. I know Starfelt has made far too many mistakes and one more and he should be dropped but if you took 2nd half on its own he played well. I hope hes turned the corner as that goal was hitting rock bottom . If he deosnt improve now then he needs dropped and will have to work hard to get back into the team but he cant be that bad he played every game last season Rubin Kazan, he cant have been making mistakes consistently like he has been with us. Id still give him time. no much though mind. Its going to take months for the team to learn to play this way in tough games like last night so bad performances are to be expected from time to time until then but we had a bad performance and still got the result that counts for a lot.

DavieCFC Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Far from the easiest draw we coulda got, but one i'm looking forward to going and watching, very good draw for those that like to go away too. Hopefully we can be competitive and qualify but at the bare minimum we should be looking to atleast finish 3rd 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
