No Idle Talk Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 HUGE game. We've come close against them a few times in the last couple of seasons. The fans and the players both need to bring their A game but it can be done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Kingsley in for Hill too if a back 3 / 5. Although I’d rather see a 4-1-4-1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McKay is as good as a man short in these games, although we might get away with playing him if we have the extra man in midfield again. If we’re playing 3-4-3 then no thanks.

Skacelsid Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 We need to score first to have a chance. They will press, no need to invite it, We need to use it positively and quickly by driving forward or playing it forward, knocking it about would just play into their hands. We need to be the pressers, play it as the one off cup tie it is and we can win. No, I would not start Snodgrass for this, yes, I would start Barry McKay, He is frustrating but capable of that something special. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our goal yesterday came from good quick passing and finding a through ball for a grey hound . Their goals for tally would likely have been more if we had tried to charge forward and left big gaps at the back or forced our defenders to have to run back to our goal . We got our tactics right last night and I hope we do some thing similar on Saturday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mac80 Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 (edited) Imo that midfield deserves another chance on Saturday, they have the energy to keep up with that Celtic midfield.

Dalry Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 Fans will have a huge part to play if we are to have any chance. Those in the lower stands need to be right on top of their players and never give them the ball back. Hopefully we get a good start in the game to get the crowd up.

The amount of times he loses the ball in dangerous areas, as we seen tonight Celtic are ruthless when teams make mistakes. Agreed, but he only loses it as often as he's the only midfielder taking responsibility, making space and looking for the pass. Devlin in particular needs to take more responsibility and get on the ball. Tbh, our midfield players struggle v the OF as they press, tackle and move faster, and as you say they also punish you. To play our normal game v the OF effectively we need better midfielders. Edited March 9, 2023 by Bazzas right boot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was poor for their second goal as well. if we are playing 3 at the back, then I'd expect something like Clark Hill Sibbick Rowles Smith Snodgrass Kio Grant Cochrane/ Kingsley Shankland/McKay Gino/Humps/Kuol All depends who is fit.

Baxfee Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 Last night showed that keeping our shape is vital - so not being bullied and not being naive in our play is key. Tic are a good team but are beatable. Players need to keep the heid and not be rash or daft. If we do this, we really do have a chance on sat.

TexasAndy Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 We often give Celtic at good game at Tynecastle so hopefully that continues with luck favouring us this time. The last league game 3-4 was a cracker but our defence was all over the place during that period of the season. I would seriously hope if we scored 3 again then it would be enough to win the tie.

Jambos_1874 Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 (edited) We can win this but it is going to be bloody difficult. We absolutely need to score first and potentially even sneak a second. I think that if we try and defend a lead rather than keep going at them, we'll lose. They hate being under pressure and not being able to impose themselves on games, so we'll have to be in their faces for the whole game. As a side note, when they do their huddle I'd like to see Cammy Devlin wriggle under them, into the middle of the huddle, and shout absolutel dogs abuse at them in his strongest Ozzie accent.
