FC Sion v Celtic: 25/08/11

Got to say Im actually quite confident

Forster

Cha K.Wilson Wanyama M.Wilson
Biram
Brown Ki Ledley

Stokes Hooper​

 

Quite like this formation myself -



Stokes up front on his own yeh but he would be getting a lot of link up play from Forrest and McCourt. I'd like to see McCourt start ahead of Commons this time as Commons hasn't been playing that well so far so I think a change would be good & could be good for McCourt's confidence.

Also Kayal can push up to CM as well to add pressure on Sion but can drop back to defend when needed also.

I think Ledley would be more adequate in LB than Wilson to be honest because Wilson just looked totally lost on the left when he played there against St Johnstone.

Whatever formation we go with I just hope that we gub them

 

Think we should go 4-5-1 or 4-4-2? Not sure myself.

They seem pretty confident on the Sion forums after they heard about the result against St Johnstone.

 

Newspapers this morning saying that Kayal and K.Wilson are both fit to play, but hooper is a major doubt cause hes still struggling

 

Woke up this morning optimistic and quietly confident. If Hooper's unfit Sammy up on his own.

Give this until 60 minutes to see if it's working then unlesah Stokes. Not a slant on Stokes but he can't play on his own up the front or on the wing and Samaras can't play with a strike partner. So Sammy it must be.

 

it is on channel 433 on sky, think it is £7.99

Anyone know any pubs in Edinburgh that might be showing it?

 

Id go with this - good attacking formation with players like kayal and ledley there to break up the play a bit

 

Not driving 200 miles each way to see us lose. Give 100% tonight and play our football and we will win.

 

This your first Celtic game mate?

 

Market prices on Celtic have dropped significantly since yesterday - to the extent that we are now actually slight favourites at the exchange to win tonight's game.

In light of that, wouldn't surprise me if all three of our absentees were to take to the field at 7:30.

 

Not at all mate. Just the first one on Swiss soil. :icon_mrgreen:

 

Enjoy mate! :icon_mrgreen:

 

thanks mate. Only a win will do the trick. :icon_mrgreen:

 

Go for 4-4-2 and go all out attack, if we score 1st we will win. If hooper is not fit I would maybe stick Mccourt through the middle with Stokes.

He played through the middle for NI the other week and played well.

 

I'm a lot more confident than I was the other day.

I reckon we can do it, come on the leather belts!

 

personaly i dont think hooper will be ready for this game,kayal and k.wilson will be though just heard from a very good source!!

I dont want hooper screwed for the rest of the season bhoys and ghirls and anyway this game shouldnt be getting played,why,FC Sion were told not to play 4 players at cp last thursday but they did,so why are they not out yet?? So we must wait til after the game tonight,uefa are meaning Friday morning,fffing stupid!!

UEFA MUST KICK FC SION OUT OF THE EUROPA LEAGUE SIMPLE AS THAT!!

i'll take anything for the bhoys to go through ffs rules are rules:bbpd:

group stages here we come

 

Hi dear celtics fans.

I'm a FC Sion's fan, and I watch the celtic's results since I'm a kid, so this game is special for me. I hope my team will win, but I have a lot of respect for celtic, so in my side there's no hate or whaterver before the game.

Just talk about our problem with the UEFA. It's not as simple as you think, don't listen at the Sun or any of your newspapers, they know nothing about this story. the civil justice requires to the FIFA and UEFA that the players can play, because working is a human right. then, The court of arbitration for sport will say in a few day, if Sion could selecting these players or no
. so now, no one is right, no one is false. (my explanations are very very simplified, not a lot of people know all the story).

So, don't talk about what you don't know, and focus on the match. I hope it will be a great game.

(happy to see scottish supporters in our bar in sion ).

 

pretty interesting case that, hope you lose tonight but good luck the rest of your season

 

Be interesting to see the reaction if we lose this game.

The Manager, The Board & The Fans - the players all seem to think they'll coast it.

I'd like to see Commons dropped for Paddy.

I'd also like to see Zaluska back in the team - we've been poor since Forster returned.

1-1 would do me, with a * rocket up everyone's arses!!
