I think today shows there's issues in centre forward and centre mid too. Not depth related, but the quality of performances of the starting players.

Yes but your post suggests that Rodgers has deliberately manufactured that situation

Why does it seem like that?

Too many honourable mentions.

A tough night for him. It'll come, he definitely has the attributes.

The team that finishes the match is as important as the team that starts. I think digging the manager out for bringing Valle on for impact in the last 30, in a tactical switch, is harsh. In a similar vein, he's stuck by Engels and made a change at an appropriate time.

Celtic really had to dig in for that point. It's went out way in the last two home games and we have dazzled, but staying strong on a difficult night against tough opposition is just as important. Great coverage again tonight 👍

That's a pretty harsh assessment. Why was starting the team that beat Leipzig such a mistake?

Riquelme could easily work for the Villarreal airport sponsor too.

Absolutely brilliant to see a one club player in this age. He has a supreme attitude and has contributed so much over the years. I actually think he could extend his career by moving to another club after this deal, but don't see it. Could be lighting it up at Ayr or something until he's 40.

He has another 2/3 in him if used properly. He can do the role of the single sitting midfielder in the league, and rest when appropriate. Doing that alone in Europe, with his lack of defensive instinct, will see him continually exposed. If he has legs alongside him, he can continue at that level.

Just going to throw out a blind guess of Retegui.

The good thing is, there's no real scenario in which there's no realistic hope of a play off. Given how we felt after the Euros, that's a decent spot to be in.

Just coming to terms with it being an ongoing mixed bag with Clarke. For every baffling tactical farce there's a relatively sustained resurgence. Rinse and repeat.

Wouldn't debate much, could swap out Kuhn or Hatate for Maeda or Engels/Bernardo but not on current form. Kyogo in due to stagnation of Eddy and Dembele. Won't be long until Doak is in the conversation. The only wildcard I'll throw in is Elyonoussi, he continues to show his quality. Top player.

Kaka was unbelievable that night in 2013/14. Scary thing is that he was very much past his best.
