Geoff Kilpatrick Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 Meh. Important thing is protecting our potential matchwinners for the 2nd leg.

1971fozzy Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 Don’t even want to think about it. We need to rest some players for Thursday so I’m not hopeful. It’s without doubt the hardest game we will get in the league, so meh. I’d genuinely be stunned if any team (rangers apart) takes anything there. terrible to say but probably a 3 or 4-0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruyff Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 Celtic are on a different level this season, their forwards are rapid and technically excellent. If we keep it at a 2-0 loss we've probably played quite well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remnants of Standards Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 Yeah why not let's wave the white flag. Getting increasingly irritated at this attitude going through there. Right now we're two points off them. If we're ever to move up a level our mentality has to shift at some point. Yes, our record is awful there but so are most others. Ok, we're sandwiched between 2 very important games but i would stick out our first team with the best chance of getting a result, or at very least putting in a solid performance. That in turn will lead to increased confidence for Thursday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5jambo1 Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 You have to be concerned. Celtic are a much better team than Zurich and much better going forward in terms of movement, pace and overall ability. We looked very dodgy at the back tonight and you would think a similar performance we are looking at a heavy defeat we need to find a system away from home when we are underdogs. We look more comfortable with 4 at the back so I’d stick to that. We always get over ran in the middle of the park so I’d like us to play 3 in there. So I’d like to us to try a 4-5-1, could also be a 4-2-3-1 but we need three in the middle of the park so I’d like us to change shape slightly with maybe Haring sitting and Devlin and McKay in front. I know we have a big game on Thursday but if we were to have any chance for a result I’d go for gordon smith rowles kingsley cochrane Forrest Devlin Haring Mckay Ginnelly Shankland forrest and Ginnelly to give us pace going forward but need to help out defensively as well. McKay to help Haring and Devlin in the middle, not his natural position but he can still push forward, just needs to maybe start from a deeper position. He is also our best player, so hopefully he can get on the ball more rather than being stuck out in a wide position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savage Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 Almost feel like i don't want anything to do with this fixture. Want everyone raring to go on Thursday and just want this to be over.

Rocky jamboa Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 We'll get beaten easy anyway so makes sense to give our key players a rest for this one and keep them fresh for Zurich. I'd be keeping smith, Kingsley, devlin, mckay and shankland out the team. Play something like:- Gordon Atkinson neilson rowles halliday Ginelly sibbick grant gms Pollock Henderson Honking team but next Thursday is a MASSIVE game for us.

andi17 Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 If we ever want to be challenging for league titles we have to get the mindset of winning on Sunday and Thursday and every game never ever cross that white line thinking about anything rather than a victory EVER.

lost in space Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 We will lose. I expect that - BUT I would like us to at least TRY to win from the start.

Mibbe give pollock a run Similar to what I’m expecting. No doubt they will dominate possession so we really need an out ball and pace/players that can carry the ball. We also need to rotate at some point snd yeah it’s early in season so hardly like main players are exhausted etc but we do need to play squad players at some point. I’m sure Shankland would do well at Parkhead re holding ball up etc, but with Thursday in mind, I’d take the hit this one game and leave him out. Just hope it’s not a 5 goal drubbing, but upside of resting main players is they shouldn’t be too affected if it is a gubbing, given they wouldn’t have played in that game.

Hearts1975 Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 It's a free hit. Apart from rangers appearing, they probably focus on doing their very best to turn us over next in line. Get players rested for next week. That has to be the focus. Get the subs and fringe players starting. Maybe some of the young boys in as well. I think there will be a good few goals on the day but realistically it won't be for us. 4-1 septic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
