Celtic (1) v Copenhagen (1) - UEFA Europa League, Thursday 26 February, kick-off 8pm - all comments here

Surrendered the middle of the park

Let them press the defence hard and defence folded with no out ball.

Expecting Simunovic Julien and brown to handle hard press and find 40+ yard accurate defence splitting passes is criminal tactics.

Only option these three have is high long hopeful passes if they don't have a 20 yard option.

We dont have high ball specialists, therefore. under hard press and sacrificed midfield we lose again.

Absolutely dire tactics and dire reading of the game.

having a number 10 who doesn't track back and 3 strikers who dont track back is ok if you have world class defenders and 2 deep midfielders who can find 40+ yard specialist passing.

Can get away with that style if opposition play 7 defenders

But to try. that shite against a well drilled experienced side is suicide

All we needed to do was take control of midfield and counter since they needed a goal.

tactics were woeful.

Copenhagen are good team but not that great.

to lose 3 at home is shocking

Dont think we really had many chances despite the bizarre shape

We manage to get back into game

And the shape was easy to snap

Dire Dire Dire
 
Scandalous shite altogether
Its been said on here many a time
Lennon shoulda signed a center half who can defend .
Midfield got the run around second half also.
Absolute f.ckin SHITE !
Credit to Copenhagen they fought hard for there win. But we got complacent and gave them the initiative.
 
I've said it before and I'll say it again. Brown's legs have gone. He can't play 2 times a week, he's losing the ball too often and slowing down attacks. Jozo was so bad tonight he should have been punted at half time. How he stayed on for the full 90 minutes playing like that is beyond me!
 
We threw it away ffs, it's not all doom and gloom though. We have a fourth treble to play for. It denies the Sevconians a 2nd Champions league qualifier (I think) next season or the one after.
We can focus on the league now. Let Sevco play catch with their Sunday kick affs.
Do we really want to be travelling around Europe just now anyway?
If the Corona virus continues to spread there is a good chance of travel restrictions and all Euro games would be in doubt.
All in all, I'm disappointed with the self inflicted defeat but not too unhappy to be oot o it.
Fair play to Copenhagen, they are shite to play against and know how not to lose. We created enough chances to win both games.
Let them and Sevco jump about Europe getting locked in hotels for a fortnight.
Bring on our second, record busting, nine in a row.
No Champions league spot for Sevco is an added bonus.
There will be people on Swallow Swallow who will say that we lost deliberately to deny them.
Four Trebles noo...onwards

I thought Broony struggled tonight.
 
I genuinely thought we were great in the first half, didn't feed Eddy enough but we dominated the game. Our defense isnt right, hasn't been all season, press our defense and we fuck up, silly mistakes, not doing the basics right, it has to be addressed and surely its not difficult to teach simple defending?
