vanderark14 Posted September 6, 2022 Author Share Posted September 6, 2022 Was it a mistake by ange to stick to one way of playing? It's OK against the other 11 in the spfl who are vastly inferior in terms of resources but this was Real Fucking Madrid, the current Spanish and CL champs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can afford to miss the odd chance against the dross in the SPFL and still win comfortably but not at Champs League level. If McGregor and Meada take their chances it could have been a different outcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was discussed plenty before the game about how he wouldn't change his style, not on here but on TV. I watched the first half and all I could think was celtic can't keep up this intensity, not against a team like Real Madrid. He took a gamble and lost. It will be interesting to see if the same way of playing works in the next game because the opposition won't be in the same class as Madrid.

Fairbairn Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 Not sure how tonight’s game is likely to go. Saturday’s Rangers turn up and we’ll get leathered however if the Rangers from the last 12-18 months in Europe turn up we can get something. Will be interesting to see Bassey up against Tavernier.

slasher Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 Last night was brilliant! I was never in the camp that fancied us to win but the first 50 odd minutes had me thinking I might be wrong. You’ve got to take your chances at this level though, then Juranovic makes a small mistake and you’re done for. No one after the game was moaning about budgets, just wondering where we can get better and excited to see us try! The huns taking another hosing I see. If the sheep add to wee Gio’s woes at the weekend the knives will be oot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diamond Scot Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 During the commentary, it was pointed out how Ajax bring through and play youngsters regardless of age, often as direct replacements for the star player who has just been sold. Whoever the "football pundit commentator" then says that the Old Firm have the pressure of must win games etc etc. Why is it never highlighted that teams like Ajax also need to win pretty much every week aswell.
