One question

Are we as good as anything you have faced in your euro run last year and this year?
If not why not?

OK so it's two questions haha.

1 answer-
We will find out on Tuesday how good you are in Europe.


2.) 04 Sep 2022 12:28:07
More to do with how we played rather than how you played unfortunately, oh Royal one. Shades of Union first leg rather than Dortmund first leg. Are you saying you think you are a better side than Dortmund, Leipzig, Braga, Frankfurt, Red Star, PSV, or even Bodo Glimt? ? If so, how come you crashed out of 3 Euro competitions last season before you could muster a sneeze? I'll wait.


3.) 04 Sep 2022 12:36:00
Two answers then.
Yes and no. Player by player = no. Dortmund/ psv and others are better than you (and us) .
The issue we face with you is the style of play and the relentless manner in which you approach the game. In that way, yes you are.

If a Dortmund for example played with the intensity you did it could be a cricket score.

see how you play in europe pal, and come back on and haha at some more drivel questions, enjoy your moment it won't last too long.


5.) 04 Sep 2022 13:03:00
Mate. This team excel in Europe but most are now bored with the SPL. We need a overhaul. Not an excuse, just fact. Maybe if we meet in the latter stages it will be different in Europe. Sorry forgot you don’t do latter stages. ? Being watching old firm now for years. Enjoy the day and the sense of it will last forever. It won’t. If you don’t believe me ask

Advocate, ONeil, Rodgers, Lennon, Smith. Stein, Wallace.

Royjac, that's a tough question here's why. Last season 5 old firms 2 wins each and a draw so nothing between the teams in a head to head sense last season. In europa knockouts we drew and lost a few 1st legs and did enough in 2nd leg to progress.

Celtic proved they couldn't cope with teams we easily would of knocked out of Europe, bodo been one. So to sum up I think dortmund, rb leipzig are easily a better opponent on a European stage. As I don't see celtic beating those teams over 2 legs. I guess we will find out shortly if celtic will fair any better in Europe this season. One things for sure the teams you play in your group won't be sleeping at restarts of play, which is how yous score a lot of your goals, nothing wrong with that, however the higher the level goes up the less goals scored from that tactic. Taking nothing away from celtic yesterday deserved winners, but rangers made it easy for them by switching off and not showing the hunger for a fight.

Seeker I am asking you what you think? I'm not saying anything about how good we are or are not

It is interesting though don't you think? If we can play at that same intensity on Tuesday do I think we will win? I don't know, what I would reckon though is if we do you would have to think we can certainly give them a bloody nose.

I think if we can play at that level on a fairly regular basis then we are going to put a few noses out of joint, I think we have the strength in depth to do so and only time will tell.


8.) 04 Sep 2022 13:35:11
Bluegenius having played PSV twice recently what evidence do you have that says PSV are better than us?

I thought you made them look pretty average to be honest.


9.) 04 Sep 2022 13:43:00
I would rather be performing in the league as that’s the bread and butter.

Some of our games in europa league last season for instance

2 up at Betis away and we miss a pen, 2nd half we literally have just kids as subs

2-1 up away at Leverkusen with 10 mins to go and again we have no subs to bring on

I believe if the same situations were to happen with the squad we have now we most probably see these games out.

We now have a really strong squad where we have almost as good replacement for every position bar a few, this season is definitely where we will see where we really are at in terms of how good we are. Last season I didn't think we could qualify from our group as we lacked strength in depth, this season in the tougher competition I actually think we can give it a right good go.

Royal 73

I don’t think yous are as good as some of the completion we have faced in Europe
We had some dodgy results in the league last season against weaker opposition and lost silly points doesn’t make them better than some or any of the teams we have faced in Europe
Let’s be honest we play better in Europe as we have all witnessed yet we can drop points to teams like at Johnston or Hibs livi etc etc

one problem yesterday he started with 3 defensive midfielders who couldn’t all play together.
We played our keeper McLaughlin who most of us think shouldn’t be number 2 never mind no1

Davis is 37 or 38 years old should have retired
We missed players like Helander - Lawrence - Davies
Hagi Souter players we bought yet aren’t available for selection
Morelos unfit and we all know the story it’s been well advertised possibly when he or if he comes back to full fitness he can make a difference along with others

We don't know the situation with a lot of players whether they want fo play with for us or they wanted a move away in the window
So taking all this into account possibly If we like yous had a full fit squad to choose from the result may have been different yesterday suggesting yous may not be as strong as you looked against us

We wil never know until we too have a fully fit squad we can choose from and play on level terms and see what the result would be that’s in an ideal world
Yesterday we had to play with what we have and none of them looked up for it and couldn’t play with each other et etc
Ill admit iyous have a very good squad now strong in all departments
we may also have a strong Squad if everyone was available for selection and the manager chose a side ready to play and we’re all fully wound up for it

Your best signing of all has been your manager Ange
That’s for sure .

let’s see how you guys get on Europe we will see how we get on and let’s see where we are next old firm for team selection and see what the result is
Come back on and we can discuss how that goes.

I don’t think the gulf in difference is what you think it is with all our current injuries etc right now
But I’ll be happy to discuss after the next old firm game we wil know by then how both teams are performing in all competitions ?

But fair play yous we’re up for it yesterday and the players we choose were not ?.


12.) 04 Sep 2022 17:48:08
Royal you asked for an opinion and I gave it. So not sure i need to justify it. But to put you at ease.
As I said my judgement was player quality.
Luuk de Jong is better than Kyogo or Giakoumakis.
Gakpo is better than Jota
Veerman is better than McGregor.
Max is better than Taylor etc etc
Basically going through the first team members I rate them higher than their counterparts for your team in the majority of positions.
Did we make them look average yes. You made us look rotten but we aren't. That is about gameplay.


13.) 04 Sep 2022 23:54:16
They may well have better individual players of that I agree, are they a better team though of that I'm not so sure.

Last season was a fairly decent battle don't you think?
You were 6 clear at half way point and we battled our way back to win it in last few weeks of the season, was the best championship for many a year.

This season you are much the same as last season points wise at this point, it's just we have been relentless so far. There is still a long way to go for sure, we would need to capitulate very badly and I just don't see that happening.

Every single one of our squad has bought into Ange and what he wants to do, I really don't think many of your squad are buying into what Gio wants to do hence the problems you are having.
