“We had enough opportunities to win the game” – Celtic Fc head coach Brendan Rodgers sadly reacts to 11 points miss as celtic vs Motherwell ended in a draw
Celtic could have moved 11 points ahead of Motherwell at the top of the Scottish Premiership table on Saturday, but they drew 1-1 with them at Celtic Park.
After 86 minutes of frustration, David Turnbull’s spot scored the first goal for the home team, which led to scenes of joy.
Sad to say, Motherwell had one last chance and Jonathan Obika scored from a corner kick, which was their only chance of the game.
Rangers are now in second place, three points behind Celtic, after winning their last two games. They need to win their last two games in order to close the gap. One of those games is tomorrow.
The Celtic manager on the tie with Motherwell
Rodgers was clearly upset after the game and told BBC Radio Scotland, “We had enough chances to win the game.” We had over 80% of the ball, so I thought Motherwell’s defense was good. It was okay that we didn’t make as many chances as we’d have liked. That being said, the chances we had were still good ones.
“We got two penalties in the game, and along with the corner, they were big moments.” For that reason, you want to see them through, but we weren’t able to.
This season’s missed penalties are annoying. Patrick Rodgers
When asked about the three penalties Celtic has missed this season—Luis Palma missed the first one before Turnbull scored—the manager said, “It’s something we’ve talked about and worked on.” You have to bring that into the game and be sure of what to do with it. We have to keep working on it because those times are stressful.
“We’re upset that we didn’t score the first goal.” David scores the second one well, which puts him ahead in the game. We were in charge of the game for a while after that, which was good, but we gave up the corner and couldn’t defend it.
Think about the lost Celtic points
When Rodgers thought about the fact that they had lost more points at home, he said, “Those are games we should win.” I think we will win those games. However, you have to earn the right to play in those games by being good and having that extra bit of skill in the final third. That wasn’t quite there today. We moved the ball around well and got to good spots, but we couldn’t make the pass or touch that would have let us score.
“We need to get better. Getting down two points today is too bad. When you’re at home and you tie, it always feels like a loss. But we need to carry that drive into our next game.”
Now, Celtic has a big test away at Lazio on Tuesday night. The next weekend, they play again in the league, away at Craig Levein’s St. Johnstone. It definitely doesn’t get easier after today.
The winners should have been well-prepared for a tough stretch of games today, but the draw means they now have to play some tough home games before the winter break, which will add more pressure.
Not so for Jota. He loved his time at Celtic. He made that clear when he left the club, and Brendan Rodgers could ask him about it, so who’s to say he wouldn’t say no?
The rumors that Celtic will sign Jota again aren’t going away any time soon, are they?
Fans loved the Portuguese winger very much at Celtic, and I think it’s safe to say that if he came back, it would be a huge win for the team.
Jota is reportedly being coveted by both Tottenham Hotspur and Celtic. If Celtic were to pursue their interest in him, they would have to deal with competition that would make it impossible for them to do so financially.
The chance that Jota will go back to Celtic
Journalist Mark Guidi, on the other hand, doesn’t seem to think he will be back. When asked if the Treble-winning winger could go back to Glasgow, Guidi says that there is one big problem that would make it hard for any deal to happen.
“I don’t think that’s likely,” Guidi said on The Go Radio Football Show. With the money he’d be making, I think it would make more sense for him to go somewhere else, like England.
“What do you do? Celtic has Palma and Yang, as well as wide players.” Do you really want to bring Jota back if it will hurt those two?”
All the cards are on the table. I really want Jota to come back to Celtic, but I know that won’t happen. Guidi thinks that salaries might be a problem, but even at Spurs, the Portuguese player won’t get the same deal.
In that area, Spurs are stronger than Celtic, but can they emotionally connect with Jota like Celtic can, even with Ange Postecoglou in charge? It seems unlikely to me.
I think Guidi is right, though, which is a shame. I think that the time for Celtic to sign Jota has passed, and he’s more likely to end up in England or on the continent.
Many promising young Celtic players have left the club in pursuit of first-team opportunities within the last decade or so.
The most recent addition to Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool squad is Ben Doak, who just departed Celtic for the Reds.
Another player who has been touted as a future superstar but has failed to establish himself at Celtic is Rocco Vata.
However, Celtic let Liam Henderson, another promising young player under Brendan Rodgers’ tutelage, go for Italy in 2018.
The 27-year-old Henderson revealed the actual reasons behind his move from Lennoxtown to the Stadio San Nicola, where he is currently on loan at Palermo, after leaving Glasgow for Bari.
“I always said if I was playing for Celtic every single week it would never have even come into consideration,” Henderson stated in an official Celtic FC podcast.
Because, in my opinion, Celtic is one of the most illustrious football clubs in the world. I mean, it would never have occurred if I was a regular Celtic player.
I had to take the initiative to better myself, though.
Reasons Celtic lost Liam Henderson
The Celtic faithful were enthralled by Henderson. Despite his high club rating, he faced intense competition for a spot on Celtic’s roster after the team had just won the Invincibles Treble.
Henderson had almost no chance of breaking through for Celtic at that moment because to the fantastic play of Scott Brown, Tom Rogic, Callum McGregor, Olivier Ntcham, and Stuart Armstrong.
However, following productive loan stints with Rosenborg and Hibs, Henderson decided to leave Celtic and join Bari after making 37 appearances under Neil Lennon. The step-up to that Celtic team was simply too large.
It’s hard to think that Henderson left Celtic over six years ago, but he and Doak show that the correct decision can lead to success even after leaving Paradise.
“Superior midfielder in Scotland”… Peter Martin asserts that Celtic have a player who surpasses Matt O’Riley.The tremendous benefit of Celtic is that the club is staffed with countless talented players who are all beginning to flourish this season.
One that is readily apparent is Matt O’Riley. The 23-year-old midfielder’s performance in the 2-2 draw at Celtic Park against Atletico Madrid earned him the title of the nation’s finest player.
Additionally, Luis Palma has been showered with praise as the Honduran destroys the Scottish Premier League and the Champions League.
However, none of those three have captured the attention of analyst Peter Martin. Following the observation of Scotland’s qualification for Euro 2024, Martin was ecstatic with the performances of Celtic skipper Callum McGregor for his nation.
Martin stated [PLZ Soccer], “When I observe our midfield trio and the way they operate, I am reminded that McGinn, who is as robust as an ox, runs himself into the ground.”My pick for the most outstanding midfielder in Scotland is Callum McGregor. “He effectively maintains the operation of the group like a well-oiled machine; additionally, we have Scott McTominay.”
Callum McGregor is considered a legend in Celtic. He will shortly depart for Scotland.
McGregor is without a doubt regarded as a legend at Celtic. The fact that he has won seven League Cups, five Scottish Cups, and eight league titles speaks for itself.
Breaking News: ‘project signing’ -Brendan Rodgers confirms the 22-year-old striker is currently considering leaving Celtic amid January transfer window
Celtic fans can’t wait for January to come around so they can see if Brendan Rodgers adds any new players to the team.
That’s what the Celtic boss said: the Hoops need to cut down on their squad. And it looks like one player is already looking for a way out.
This summer, a record number of teams signed young Marco Tilio from the Australian A-League. It cost Celtic £1.5 million to sign the midfielder, which made him Australia’s most expensive product.
Brendan Rodgers stated that Tilio was having a hard time adjusting to life at Celtic because of his injury and the fact that Scottish football is much more intense than Tilio is used to.
A report in the Daily Record says that Tilio is “considering” a loan move in January to try to get some first-team games.
According to the story, Tilio hopes that his work with the Australian U23 team will help convince Rodgers to give him more playing time with the first team. If it doesn’t, he is “open” to a possible loan move.
Ufuk Talay, the assistant manager of the Australian national team, called Tilio a “exciting” player. The Brazilian does have some promise, but he hasn’t had the chance to show it yet.
Another big fan of the Celtic winger is Craig Moore, who used to play for Rangers and thinks of him as a “project signing.”
No matter what is wrong with the young player, he won’t play ahead of Daizen Maeda, Luis Palma, or Hyunjun Yang until he gets plenty of minutes in those legs. All three of them are in great form right now.
Liel Abada will fall even further down the ranks when he comes back in December. He sounds like he could be a good player for Celtic in the future, so let’s hope he can find the game he wants.
Breaking News: “I think he’ll have to go somewher” 24 years-old celtic forward as he was told to leave Celtic Fc to save his football career this next transfer window
With so many players on the first team, it’s almost impossible for Brendan Rodgers to make sure that all of them get to play.
The manager of the Hoops has said that he wants to cut down the team in January and that some players who don’t play much will be let go.
The Celtic winger Mikey Johnston hasn’t played much for Rodgers, even though he’s been very good for the Republic of Ireland, so he might be one of the players who leaves, either on loan or forever.
Mark Guidi, a football expert, told the 24-year-old that he needs to leave the club if he wants to play more with the first team.
“The Liam Scales story is obviously inspiring for any football player who’s maybe having a hard time finding his way,” Guidi said on The Go Radio Football Show.
“Mikey Johnston, I don’t see him beating or ever getting ahead of Liel Abada when he’s healthy, Palma right now, or Maeda on the other side.”
“So I think Mikey Johnston is a very good football player, but I think he’ll have to go somewhere else to play regular football.”
Johnston hasn’t started a game for Celtic this season under Brendan Rodgers. He wasn’t on the team at the beginning of the season because of an illness, but he’s been seen only once in a Celtic game since then.
