While it is good time to be a tic fan, I would have to agree with those who say we are on the slide a bit. The Bayern game at Celtic Park and the Aberdeen game before that we're great performances but I don't think we've his the heights of last year apart from that. Griff, Forrest and Tierney have been pretty good as has McGregor but Sinclair, Armstrong, Dembele (fair play injury etc) and Rogic have been nowhere near their form of last year. Broony always does his bit and has transformed over past 2 years but I think we have a good few gears to step through. Hoping we land Europa League football to give us a test and recruit well in the window. Think it's obvious what is needed, would be scandalous to come out in Feb without at least on decent Centre Half.

On the slide?
We still haven't lost a game and we have IMPROVED in Europe.

I know we’re unbeaten and it’s an amazing achievement. Just felt we were a lot more free flowing with the movement and obviously more spark with Moose and Simky. In Europe I thought Anderlecht made us look good a lot of the game. Happy for our run but think we aren’t as good as last year.

Daviebhoy you are correct. We are still doing great so no complaints but as you say there are 4 players not performing as well as last year. Roberts. Dembele. Sinclair. Armstrong. However Tierney, Forrest, mcGregor, have improved but i wonder if the 65 game unbeaten run is weighing heavy. We are slower getting the ball forward and not pressing in numbers as we used to so maybe its that unbeaten run but i agree not as fluent as last season.

Wouldn’t say on the slide but I do agree with davie about not playing as well this season! Sinclair Armstrong and Moussa to a lesser degree because of his injuries are nowhere near the standards of last season, same goes for Wee paddy who has still to find top form! And I can’t agree we’ve improved in Europe kev! Just so happens that Anderlecht are a far poorer team than gladbach last year! Last year we conceded 9 against the top seeds this years its 12,last year we drew home and away with the 2nd seeds this year we’ve been beaten home and away! Can’t see where the improvement is there mate! The lads have been relentless in domestic football but like I said I don’t know how u can say we’ve improved in Europe.

The teams we played in Europe this year were better and we look like progressing to be playing Europa league after Xmas. That's improvement is it not?

Honesty to continue unbeaten domestically with the number of fixtures and frequency of difficult games we cannot complain . The fact we managed this last season and with the month of December particularly busy we should all be given the manager and full team our total support . Last season was phenomenal and so can this, if we all play our part.

Anderlecht were better than gladbach kwaj? I was at the home game and they played us off the park! I’m just saying for me we had better results last year! Draws home and away to Man City and away to a good gladbach team. IMO we haven’t improved from last year. the humping against Barcelona in our first game in CL was a sore one but considering Brendan was trying to get the team to gel I could maybe accept it, and that’s a big maybe lol. but a year on with a much more settled squad we’ve took 2 absolute spankings to PSG! So for me there’s been no improvement.

We need a defence and a keeper or being ragdolled by the better teams will continue.
I don't think we have hit top for apart from the Dons game and although played well against Bayern, our rubbish defence at this level cost us.
Sort that at last and we are moving forward. Gladback would have horsed Anderlect. I have no doubt though we will make it difficult in the last game by being rubbish defensively yet again and scraping through.
The defence and our keeper are rubbish at Euro keel and if we have serious intent to be a CL club they need replaced it should have happened before now. Let's hope we can beat Anderlecht. I don't trust our defence in Europe, at that level they are piss poor.
