Celtic midfield. Under Ange. Liel abada Jota Matt O'Reilly Aron moody Callum jamesy reo hatate daizen. looks to me that this is a much stronger pool. So that can only mean. Pool wise we are going backwards. How can anyone say the present pool is stronger than that midfield. LOOK AT THE BIG PITCHER. hail hail.

Having so much success in recent years can be both a blessing and a curse. Many supporters have never 'had it so good' and love every minute, while those of a certain age maybe take this period for granted because of the lack of domestic competition.
Even if you go back only a couple of decades, there can be no doubt that the quality and class of the current squad compared to the MON and WGS squads of that era are night and day.
We treaded water for too long in the wake of their liquidation and although we maintained a level of success our standards dropped and any European reputation we may have had, evaporated.
One thing I will say, is this season we had a very decent CL campaign with most of the current squad and if we are to continue making progress, we need to ensure new arrivals are real quality.

Our wingers were jota, abada, haksabanovuc and maeda an we now have jota, maeda, Kuhn and yang, so I would say we are stronger now.
Midfielders were Callum, mooy, hatate, iwata, mor, Turnbull and we now have Callum. Hatate, Engels, Bernardo, McCowan, Holm, I would say we are weaker now but there is not much between them.

I think some people want to be different and negative.
As far as I am concerned we have been very successful over the last 2/ 3 yrs Why not enjoy them . Does it improve your enjoyment if you think we were better at another time .
Personally, I started following Celtic in the mid 60’s I wouldn’t even think about comparing any team with the Lisbon Lions.
This is all pointless because the ability of individual players in any team, doesn’t make team better or worse . Speed, teamwork, tactics system of play are some of the aspects that can make a team better than another team.
