    Decent run out and not too bothered by the score but would like to see us go with the desired starting back 4 for the remainder of the friendlies..

    Hopefully potential buyers for Sammy were watching , just like with Donati in pre-season last year.. Could still get okay money for him..

    ------------zaluska--------------
    wilson---rogne---o'dea---mulgrew
    ------------brown-----------
    -------ledley------crosas
    forrest-----------------maloney
    -----------fortune

    with hooiveld in for o'dea, hinkel/du-ri for wilson, juarez in for crosas, and can see murphy playing left with maloney on the other side. very impressed. i have been fooled by samaras before!

    people stop lookin through the green tinted optimistic glasses. our attack had no cutting edge, fortune and samaras will not win us the league. our midfeild was average and our defence leaked a couple of soft goals. we are a week ahead of manu so far as pre season goes and we were just comfortably beaten by there 3rd team. a vast improvement is needed if we are goin to win anythin this year

    This team needs encouragement lads ,Sammi played a blinder ,but why ,i would say that he wasnt under the pressure of the home support at Parkhead ,so we know what he can do ,lay off players and cheer them on ,it helps there game no end.

    My dad actually said to me 1 time, after 1 of those epic samaras games ( i know the're rare ), that he could be as good as larsson if he played consistently, which is true because he can beat any1 on his day but his skill is so confidence-dependant

    Echo most comments so far. Lots of positives Samaras was outstanding , playing for a move? Fortune great hold up play and did Brown a few times. Odea giving the runaround by Berbatov. What about Hoovield? Think he would be far better option than Odea as he's a left sided centre half surprised Lenny never brought him on. Good to see Maloney back and ledley did well. Du rei in the short time he was on pitch looked good. Never a 3 1 game:54: . Think we will win league this year by a good few points though but we do need a big strong centre half and a goalscorer.

    I thought Samaras, Fortune, Cha, Maloney and Brown were impressive.

    If Celtic can sort out the defence and sign another striker, I think we'll have a good team.

    Worried about centre back. O'Dea has morphed into McManus and Caldwell ..lol

    Du-ri looked very impressive, if hinkel leaves i think we got a capable replacement in him.

    berbatov the differnence, fortune really * me offf with his selfish play, i e when ki played one two and fortune sgould have passed inside for a certain goal, but blasted it at keeper,
    does anyone know why brown went off after 45 mins?

    No you're right, being good in possession is not a quality we need. :rolleyes:

    Not to mention the fact that Fortune was about 5 times as greedy as Samaras, and yet you've listed him as a standout??

    To be honest I think Samaras could run the game and score five, and some folk would still be off in their own wee headspace - lalala - didnae see it - lalalalala - he's pish....

    they need to improve and we badly need a new striker. i know its pre season but as i said before we are further into our pre season than them and they comfortably beat us. you can be sure lenny isnt happy about what he saw so why should the rest of us ???

    Maloney - Very good , sharp
    MAF - played well but needs to stop being selfish
    Crosas - Excellent all game
    forrest - Decent game
    Sammy - Fantastic when he came on , confidence player

    Celtics MOTM - sammy
    MOTM - Berba he made the difference
    Very positive
