I was a bit gutted last night after the game. Today I am bit more relaxed about how things panned out. There is no denying that a couple of defensive lapses cost us a comfortable win, but we at least we are going to Sweden with a lead.
We were unbelievable for the first 15-20 minutes of the game. I was actually in shock at how well we were controlling the game. The passing and movement was brilliant. We were like a cat playing with a ball of wool. Two goals within the first ten minutes and a glorious chance wasted to make it 3-0 before the 15 minute mark. That would have been the tie over at 3-0.
I still think we will beat them comfortably over there. If the players needed an extra incentive to go out and bury them then the rubbish coming from their camp will provide it. From their Manager to their keeper, they show nothing but disrespect. Next week we will shut them up for good. They got two lucky breaks due to piss poor defending and they think they have us on the ropes. I am supremely confident we will beat them.

To the following post talking about defensive lapses it happens almost every game now so highly likely to happen again if ambrose will be starting so that means malmo are guaranteed a goal at least meaning we are going to score over there which a think we will but our defence is a major concern now boyata known for mistakes ambrose is a bombscare and izzy can't defend so we are going to be very vulnerable at the back and tbh we lack that killer touch upfront the reason why everybody keeps going on about a stricker badly needed. worried about this game on Tuesday now

Malmo are shite. That shows us how far off a CL team we are. Both of us will be mauled in the group stages unless scatter nocash Lawell has a convulsion and sanctions spending.
Two full backs. A midfielder who can dribble and another striker and two CB's. Boyata us an exit waiting to happen. I'm surprised he lasted so long at City.
He's pish. Vulnerable in possession. Passing bordering in the suucudal. Gets caught ball watching too.
Yet we bought him. A farce.

Greenandwhiteknight you really amuse me. I have been reading the comments on here a long time and you are always the first to jump on anything anyone writes like a wee fanny licker dog riding its owners leg.
I have no idea why you would imagine that you writing a Ron Manager analysis on last nights game will somehow make me change my opinion on us winning the return leg! Do you think I wasn't watching? Are you the Oracle? Should we run our opinions by you for editing prior to posting on here?
I have chosen to take a number of positives from last night game while you are your usual miserable glass half empty sod. We scored 3 goals; we played them off the park for the best part of the first half; we are still in front in the tie the last I could see. We may not be going to make a dent in the Champions League (don't think anyone thought any different) but we can beat a team like Malmo regardless. Sure there was some shoddy defending which let them back in but that's the way things go.
Now before you wee down your leg writing a reply about me having a reality check - I won't be wasting any more energy on replying to your bollocks.

The biggest disappointment for me last night was the amount of 'unforced' mistakes all over the pitch, when you would have thought the blitz of a start and two great goals would have settled us and got the confidence soaring.
I know we have been losing a couple of goals a game lately, but last night too many players were making daft mistakes and Malmo could not believe their luck at the final score.
The players (like the support) should be furious at the lapses and be determined to put it right next week.
If we go out, then it's another poor start to a season, with CL disappointment and attendances will suffer all season.
There is so much at stake and the players have to perform.

Greenandwhiteknight. Each and every defender that has ever played football has made mistakes . So it is no surprise that Efe and Izzy have had defensive lapses . When Celtic are playing well someone is alive to the situation that a team mate is under pressure and steps in to help out . Disappointing when Lustig was caught completely out of position , Brown or Forrest weren't there to put some pressure on Berget . Virgil under no pressure created the second goal for Malmo .
To highlight Efe as been accident prone is very lazy posting. We know Izzy made blunders in the Juventus game but unlike other defenders his speed of recovery has resulted in him often rescuing the situation . Efe deputised in every position across the back four in a four week period last season without any calamities .
Efe is still a Celtic player and we don't turn our backs on any Celtic player .

Old bhoy what u even gibbering on about don't u read other posts on here why is it your making a fuss at my comment a was only pointing out what happened and obviously blatant were we have problems we all want us to do well but by continuing to play fuds no exactly helping our cause soon as ambrose came on everybody knows what's coming next, and as for malmo 2nd goal it all came about from ambrose losing the ball under no pressure

It was a pity u missed last night's game as it isn't easy posting about a game you didn't see . Let me remind you Lustig wasn't anywhere near his man , Berget when he scored the opening goal . May I also remind you believe it or not Efe was sitting on the substitute bench and cannot be blamed in any way for this goal . Different posters have tried to allocate blame to various Celtic players for their second goal.
However I am sure if you see any video evidence you will agree that the Celtic defence through ability or luck had held the attack firm until Virgil decided to jump into Bitton and prevent Bitton from having any chance of getting his clearing header in .
Worse still the ball fell into where Virgil had stood .

Greenandwhiteknight. Supporting your team or "rooting for the coz" does not consist of calling our players (that includes the whole squad) fuds and shit. You should make up your mind wether you are a supporter or a critic. Let's start supporting our team en masse. I never went for the, Celtic family, stuff but if we are a family then it's a dysfunctional one.
