I'm a bit split on things...I want Celtic to win in Europe and compete with the best but don't want Celtic to become a commercialism hobby for some rich Arab to invest heavily, the risk is someday they'll get bored and walk away and it takes away the ethos of why Celtic were formed in the first place but it does hurt like hell watching your great team getting humped 7-1. The rich getting richer is the case and UEFA could certainly take a leaf out of the NFL's book on how they ensure the big teams success in the NFL are reduced capping their spending and buying allowing the the teams finishing lower in the leagues to spend more and have their pick of the top players.
Of course you can say this should be the case domestically too but when i think back of the baron years watching the dead club winning all around them and Celtic sometimes not even finishing 2nd and going near a decade without a trophy it's certainly pay back time and i'm loving the success we're having in Scotland. I believe BR is the man to lead us but the only thing i'm not sure on is his approach when playing the big guns, I know he said last week that people don't know anything about football when criticizing his tactics but surely you have to adopt different tactics for different teams...Look don't like saying much about BR as he's doing a great job, it's just in Europe where i think we need a slightly different approach but at least you'll always get action when Celtic are involved...HH
We definitely set up slightly differently against PSG. More like a 5-4-1 or 3-6-1 if you like. Otherwise we are 3-4-3 or 4-3-3. We adapted albeit not drastically but BR mentioned he would rather have Wednesday and what happened than an ultra defensive system and still be well beaten. PSG scored 7 from 11 shots on target. Last night against Monaco they were very wasteful but could have scored 7. Wednesday was a combination of them being clinical and us being defensively poor.
Hope you enjoyed the trip otherwise. The support sounded in good spirits.
