jamboozy Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 I think he should rest Boycie, give Gnando a start, see what he can do, that’s if he can find his boots ?😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just need to get in their faces and knock them off their stride. Exactly. Plenty if time to rest players, but not now. Boyce is key to our success, and we can succeed there, with the right approach and a bit of luck. We've got to take both Cup competitions seriously as it's our only chance of silverware. We've gotta win the Leagud Cup at some point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuart500 Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 We need to keep pressure on their back four or they will swamp all over us. Would like Gnando up front as best option to hold onto the ball. Henderson could do job up there too with his pace and physical strength. Gino was poor on Saturday so maybe dropped to the bench but an impact sub later on. Boyce can't be dropped as our best striker. We will need to battle it out to stay in the competition. Battles at the Tattiedome usually mean bookings ( for us anyway) so we are going to be up against it unfortunately. However it could be a chance for somebody to take their chance and be a hero.

Rooster20 Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Play a couple of strikers up top and go at them, their defence is very weak. I would think that no Hearts fans will begrudge us losing 3-2 or 4-3 if we have a right old crack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed - We will need to be at our best at the back, but pleased with how the defence has been so far this season Getting Soapy back has really helped. It’s all about confidence as well. If we can get a good result then that would be huge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We put 6 past that mob on our first home game of last season, shouldn't be a factor imo 😉 As others have alluded to with this celtic team the best form of defense is attack, need to get at Starfelt and whatever makeshift CB partner he plays with, plus shoot on sight with that dandruff'd eejit in goals.

Watt-Zeefuik Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 I'd put Boycie on the bench but have him ready to go in the second half. Pressure the ball high but hold the shape on defense in the first half, frustrate a crowd that's already frustrated and get them on their backs. Then put Boyce in at the start of the second half, play in their faces. I know everyone says have a go from the jump but they'll come out of the gate hot and out for revenge. Hold them at bay for a bit and they'll get flustered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ToqueJambo Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 (edited) We should do exactly what we did last time and what Midtjylland did at CP, both playing 3-4-3. Totally fine with Celtic having possession so long as we restrict their chances, which is what happened in both those games. The Dundee game isn't an indicator. It will give them confidence but we put 6 past Dundee without needing about £30m worth of forwards to do it. If we end up under the cosh, which is always likely at CP, we can put Ginnelly up with Boyce to counter attack, plus bringing on Gnando. Whether we score early or not, the main thing is not to let Celtic score early and get into their stride.

I would love to agree with you but I am still not convinced about him. Parkhead is an ideal sort of place for a player like him to have the space to take a player on but I doubt very much that he will do that. I really , really hope he proves me wrong but I am not so sure he will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victorian Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Just go for it and play the strongest side. Pack the midfield with a sort of 3-6-1. Gino and GMS playing in a narrow close supporting role to Boyce. Get the bodies in there to be able to pull off a high press and see where it goes.
