It takes a lot to get the pundits singing from the same hymn-sheet after one of the big games.
But there wasn't much room for debate after Celtic 's heartbreaking defeat to Bayer Leverkusen with everyone from Chris Sutton to James McFadden sharing the same concerns.
The Hoops led 2-1 with 82 minutes on the clock as Ange Postecoglou 's team chased a first ever win in Germany.
But their defensive deficiencies came to the fore once again as a late Leverkusen double consigned them to a costly defeat.
Celtic have averaged two goals a game in the Europa League but have now conceded more goals than any other team in the competition.
And a few scattergun subs from Postecoglou - subbing off his entire front three of Kyogo, Jota and James Forrest - didn't seem to help his side's cause.
Here's what the pundits said.
Pat Bonner
“It’s clear to everyone - including the fans and surely the manager and his staff - but his philosophy isn’t going to change.
“Even when he changed his two wide guys and a striker he puts players on in those positions thinking they might do something from an attacking point of view.
“I don’t know if he took them off because they were tired because they were still doing their job defensively so he must have thought they could get another goal.
“But once Celtic had to make those changes - taking off the two wide guys - they didn’t look as comfortable.
“Kyogo almost instigated the press at times and they just looked a bit more insecure when he went off and Nir Bitton going off with a head injury is another critical player out of the team in that holding defensive role.
“James McCarthy maybe found it a wee bit more difficult to get into the game late on and when you look and analyse the goals.
“At Leverkusen’s third goal Florian Wirtz should never have been allowed the space and time to almost stand on the ball and pick his pass - he should have been closed down.
“When you’re 2-1 up with eight minutes left you’ve got to try and see it out. It’s hugely disappointing.
“Joe Hart had an incredible double save and the performance was very good and defensively up to a point.
James McFadden
“Changing the first three really changed things. We speak about Celtic defensively but the defending starts from the front.
“The pressing of the front three players throughout the game was excellent until they went off.
“Jota wasn’t in the game as much as we normally see in terms of his dribbling but his discipline to play the defensive side, winning fouls and carrying the ball up the pitch.
“Mikey Johnston came on and was eager to impress, tying to take people on. There was one opportunity if he’d got his head up he could have squared for Liel Abada.
“Set plays was a problem for them the whole game but they were defending relatively well from open play.
“Some of Joe Hart’s saves were incredible and they will be disappointed not to come away with at least a point but they were in such a good position to win the game.
Chris Sutton
“The big issue for Celtic was the substitutions. James McCarthy was too slow to react at Leverkusen’s second.
“He wasn’t quick enough at the knockdown. You were then thinking ‘Can Celtic still hold on?’ With a point taking it to the last game.
“But defensively they have been found wanting defensively in European competition.
“It was so disappointing the way it ended. Antony Ralston took a bit of a heavy tough at Leverkusen’s second.
“Celtic were careless at the first goal. They had an earlier warning when Robert Andrich ran off Anthony Ralston and got the run on him again.
“It was a good header but a soft goal from Celtic’s point of view. They did well to get back in. They didn’t create too much from open play and they got the opportunity after a poor challenge from the goalkeeper on Kyogo.
“The second goal was a superb finish. Kyogo was smart and Jota has been sensational in a Celtic jersey.
Stiliyan Petrov
“What a finish from Josip Juranovic for the penalty. Incredible. Really classy. Without playing well they were back in the game.
“Joe Hart has been outstanding all season. He’s made a real difference. But not just his saves - look at the way he delivers the ball and that’s how they scored the second goal.
“That was the first time Celtic made Bayer Leverkusen pedal back. And it was a great finish from Jota.
