‘Brendan Rodgers must work on different Celtic approach for Europe’

We asked for your views on what you want to see from Celtic.

Here’s what some of you said:

Eli: Brendan Rodgers should throw Aberdeen a curve ball and start one of the promising youngsters. Someone like Daniel Cummings who has already surpassed the departed Rocco Vata.

Paul: In two words: beat Aberdeen! Slightly longer: sustain the 100% league start; get (at least) six more points in the Champions League, where I so hope Celtic can learn not to give the ball away, especially on their travels. Perversely, I’m glad that the likely second-toughest tie in Europe after Dortmund is the next one, versus Atalanta.

Peter: We want to continue our dominance in Scotland by winning another treble. We do not have sufficient quality yet to progress in Europe. Perhaps after another two or three transfer windows. Two wins and a draw would be progress in Europe, if we’re being realistic.

Patrick: We all know that Celtic can dominate in Scotland, but it’s time to see what we can do in Europe. We need to realise that we’re not going to win the whole thing, but at least we need to compete, that’s where we need to make progress this season – even at the expense of a domestic trophy.

Hugh: I think Rodgers has to start looking for different tactical options, line-ups and formations. Right now we are too one dimensional and while it proves to be very effective domestically it tends to over highlight our deficiencies once we play in European competitions. Without belittling our domestic opponents we can easily afford to experiment.

John: It’s simple, get as many points as the team can get in the league, do the best you can in Europe, try to bring in some more quality during the next transfer window, use the whole squad for all the games, including both cups and get rid of the players that are not wanted at the club.

Benny: Ideally Celtic get straight back on the horse after the break with three points and a clean sheet from the Dons game. A convincing win against our closest challengers sets down a marker that, domestically at least, we are back to the form shown in the first part of the season. Make no mistake this is a must-win game.

Gordy: Domestically we have nothing to fear, I don’t believe Aberdeen are at our level, our only goal should be to improve in Europe, I think we can qualify from our group but we have to be smarter, it’s not foolish to defend against better teams, if we can stay in it until January we can strengthen again, especially in defence.
