Analysis of Celtic's League Season so far

Myself and most Celtic fans that I know (on and off here) would disagree with BR's assertion that the squad have improved since last season. The link below is to a blog that, backed by meticulous detail and data, offers up the rationale as to why we have regressed. Might to be too much information and too much like hard work for some (and I must confess that I don't fully understand every word or number myself ) but I found it interesting and insightful. I follow this guy on Twitter and, even though he's a Celtic supporter, he tells it as he sees it, warts and all .

Don't know about you Timmy but I'm wary of the games with Zenit. Especially away. Hope we can deal with the cold weather.

I actually think Rodgers has overthought this season. Celtic were always going to win the league but the experimentation with the squad will stunt players getting a run of form. He is rotating the midfield because that is the area of strength in depth. Example Ntcham in last match v Rangers, nearly all the Celtic supporters on here in disbelief at the selection.

The Dembele and Roberts injuries obviously massive too as they are probably the players most likely to score and make something happen from nothing.

The other thing looking on is that some players look like they're coasting at times. To me Boyata is noticeable that he knows he can be sloppy because the side is strong enough to score a goal to undo his mistake more often than not domestically.

Sinclair knows when he on his game he will hurt any defender in Scotland. But he also knows generally they're not great defenders so he doesn't really need to be right on it to hurt them.

Armstrong has maybe been injured and the rotation has affected him most I'd say and maybe the contract issue unsettled him.

Dembele to me has checked out. Knows hes the big thing up here and is already on to the next challenge in my opinion.

And still you're on for the title, have league cup in the bag and have Europa League coming. Life must be Shiite as a Celtic man

That's probably the best post about an opposing team that I've ever seen on here

Major worry as they are better than us but we have a chance as they haven't played for a while.

Kenny McLean yellow card for chopping down Lewis Morgan. Typical. Trying to injure him before he plays for Celtic. I expect to see a lot of this.

You know as well as I do there is a lot of agricultural football goes on here. TBF your own team is not noted for it. In fact you have been on the receiving end of it. Broken nose?

How were we unlucky against anderlecht at home timmy? We were outplayed. Didn't deserve anything out of that game, it was only second half when Ntcham was on we looked like doing anything but barely had even a decent chance in the game.
