The play was nowhere near an Itten type of player. Aside, I cannot see Itten being here next season. Itten plays centrally and holds the ball up, gices us a breather, and he works hard Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockwellGers 14,592 Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 If I was McCoist I'd be chuffed to be asked these questions about why celtic are so shite. That must always be fun to answer. I'd be like, oh well let me expand. Why ARE they so fucking awful? let's get right into this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marco 1,385 Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 2 minutes ago, tm91 said: Clearly we were worried about them and there was maybe a little bit of anxiety once they start looking more dangerous in the 2nd half. Clearly something to work on. Results like this are always useful for successful, winning sides if it helps them refocus and analyse where improvements can still be made. That said Benfica are a fucking good side. They'd expose the weaknesses of all but the top teams in Europe. They'd beat the Orcs comfortably without breaking a sweat. Exactly, hence issues rather than a more hyperbolic term. End of the day we're drawing 5-5 over 180 minutes against a side that should be in the CL, whilst celtic are losing 8-2 against Czech EL-calibre sides in that same period. Don't think anyone's going to lose their head tonight, but the two Benfica games always represented a chance to test ourselves against genuine quality and we'll be even better for it.

BlueThunder 8,439 Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 I forgot to say I’m proud of the players for their efforts. Kinda got lost in the disappointment, but I’m sure tomorrow will feel a lot brighter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarzM 1,238 Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 I'm disappointed and I know I shouldn't be. I'm unhappy that SG didn't make changes when you could see we were struggling. I know we didnt have midfield options tonight. We're missing 3 guys in the middle. Before the games I'd easily have taken 2 points from these 2 games...but I just think we've thrown away a really good opportunity. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we had then yup. I think our midfield of Davis and Arfield didn't or couldn't contribute to that. I'll take the result and we are certainly looking like a team to fear.

G.E.C. 18,633 Posted November 26, 2020 Author Share Posted November 26, 2020 Although gutted not to have won both games.. In the last 10 years we’ve faced Braga, Benfica, Porto and Sporting. Not lost to any of them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And It’s Davis that let’s both scorers run off him in box. Hes slow to react in both. Even if first 1 in particular is a bit of a pinball effort. Davis as a player is done. He cant last a full 90 and in truth shouldn't be anywhere near our first team. He's a guy who should be coming on for the last 10 minutes and that's it. However, we were really short of players tonight in the middle. Not sure what was wrong with Aribo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alfie nearly caught them out for it & we were not given a definite penalty. The lads can all hold their heads up for a good result. It doesn't feel anything like a defeat to me.

Misteral 2,930 Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 They are a good team but once again it feels like a loss. We really should be 100% in this group.

Poznan and Liege both have to play us and Benfica and one of them would have to beat us both. In the unlikely event that happens, we would probably still qualify with one point from two games. Unbeaten in the league, unbeaten in Europe, pumped the scum, playing some superb football, scoring shed loads of goals.
