Have to agree big micks days are past seen it with Ipswich his style of fitba, defence defend defence defend and long ba' break up the park, the supporters wouldnt have it. You see how irate the supporters got when brs side, as dominant as they were got to the 18yrd box and then went sideways and backwards and it did all our heads in. No one was complaining about results how could we, but the pass to death syndrome was not what we wanted to see ( I say we as I do believe that we the supporters want the cavalier swashbuckling approach, but it must be a winning approach) we had that for a while under br and it was a thing of beauty to to see. You can see it work better at leicester given they have better players to put it into practice, I wouldnt be just accepting that the attack looks after itself if mick was in charge. That can work for Ireland but not at an , on the front foot club like Celtic. Course that's just my opinion but it does and always has been my experience of supporting Celtic that we outscore sides and have always lost goals whether under lenny MON ronny tommy and even back further than that how many times have we gone out of Europe on the away goals rule? Its endemic in the club part of our culture dare I say even. Partisan Belgrade comes to mind right away, cluj at CP beer sheeva even the recent ferencvaros game we totally outplayed them , two shots 2 goals were out. Even now big Duffy is susceptible to balls over the top, but it was the same when kt was here. Itll stay the same until we return to bringing in quality defenders like reiper, mjallby, bobo, aitken , van dijk, ready to go right away not projects that will come good , ajer gets found out a lot , too much for my liking but hes originally a midfielder and bitton as well. It's not all gloom though I think that we will have a settled back line though when is anyones guess. That's what I mean by it's in our nature or culture that we have the better attackers and wingers first and defence has always came second. Hopefully it will not be too long before we strike the right balance. We play clubs in Europe and Scotland who are terrified of our attacking qualities but not so our defence any club knows we are suss in that department but we still outscore the opposition and win , its the true Celtic way , entertainment for our supporters. Perhaps we should have a dedicated defensive staff like we do with goalkeeping. If anything its encouraging the powers that be at CP are apparently looking at this side of our game. There was a time the first 15 minutes versus Celtic was like facing a tornado now in Europe how often are we a goal behind before 15 minutes have passed? It has to change and be properly addressed and since my glass is half full I think it will be. β
