In the aftermath of the match, Brendan Rodgers addressed the media and shouldered the blame for a lackluster first half performance. He stated, “With a brace from Adam Idah, the Northern Irishman now faces a dilemma in selecting his strikers for the upcoming game on Saturday. Nevertheless, it is a dilemma that he welcomes.”
Analyzing the statistics, it is evident that out of the 18 games played, eight have been from this current season while the remaining ten games were from the previous season. During the ten games from last season, Celtic managed to score an impressive 35 goals but also conceded 13, resulting in an average of 3.5 goals scored and 1.3 goals conceded per game. On the other hand, in the current season, they have scored 27 goals and only let in four, leading to an average of 3.3 goals scored and 0.5 goals conceded per game.
It is clear that Brendan Rodgers will have some tough decisions to make regarding his team selection moving forward, especially in the attacking department. Despite the challenges, he remains confident in his squad’s ability to perform at the highest level.
In a separate interview, Liam Scales also shared his thoughts on the team’s performance and reiterated the importance of maintaining consistency in order to achieve success. As Celtic continues their journey in the Champions League, all eyes will be on Brendan Rodgers and his players as they strive for glory on the European stage.
