League Cup Final 2012 - Celtic vs Kilmarnock 18/03/12 KO 3:00pm BBC 1.

Kelvin Wilson looks terrible.

I'd certainly rather see Ki in the middle of the park than Wanyama also.

Stokes just doesn't suit the big surface either. Think that's why he struggles to score at home through lack of pace. Samaras could be a good option in the 2nd half.

 

Another half time roasting from NL required.

 

samaras on for hooper and ki on for wanyama

 

Sammy on, Wilson off.

Should lineup..

Forster
Matthews Rogne Wanyama Mulgrew
Forrest Broon Ledley Sammy
Hooper Stokes

And if we dont get control bring on Ki.

 

Poor first half,cant even win a header in the killie box....hooper playing poor and midfield has lost the ball far to often.
Bring on sammmy may win a few headers and he can run at them.
I think killie will score in the 2nd half so we better up our game and make sure we are ahead when they do or it will be 11 behind the ball.
And why aint we got the hoops on for * sake.

 

Good thinking mate, I totally agree.

 

Aye, we need a clever player in midfield. Him or Commons, or even Samaras to alter our balance.

 

Hooper has been our worst player IMO. * infuriating when he gives the ball away and instead of closing the opponent down to get the ball back, he just jumps about and throws his arms in the air.

 

As bad as we have played for a while. When we loose the ball we have 4, sometimes 5 players walking back !!. No one closing down quick enough. Lenny will defo rip arses apart in there at half time !!

 

Who do you think we are? We're not good enough to get away with such an attacking line-up. You saw that last week. And besides, Wanyama is better as a DM.

 

Yep, this is what I just said to my lad

 

This game has Sammy stamped all over it. I hope we see him soon.

 

Id put ki on for wanyama to start with and if things dont change bring sammy on for hooper or stokes or even forrest. Browns been brilliant.

 

We're not winning the game, so far, because our team balance isn't right and we can't get any fluidity to our game. The best way to up that, is not to take off a defender and put another attacker on.

Game calls for one of our strikers to come off and a midfielder to come on. Then go all-out when you're ahead and the game is stretched.

 

+ 1 Obviously they NEVER get the message that the game starts from the 1st min not the 45th !!!! Forrest & Hooper need dropped ASAP . both have been rotten for weeks. Samaras,Commons & Ki need to come on if were to win this and not let it go to penalties.

 

Was there a display? Missed first minute?

 

better second half please we could easily be behind.

 

forest is showing glimpses of what hes capable off, ledley hasnt come in to the game as of yet. Hooper has been very poor, and has been very poor the last few games

id like to see a few changes bringing Ki and sammy on for forest and ledley, and then commons on for hooper if he doesnt buck his ideas up.

Unfortunately its going to be sweated out and it will be 75 min mark we will see a change as it could potentially go to ET/penos

we need a very early goal and then need to kill the game off!!

When strachan was in charge and even Oneill i was always confident of getting a goal from a corner, this is something we are severly lacking and need to improve. We have big guys like Rogne Wilson Mulgrew and Wanayama.

 

We might not have been great in the first half and that is credit to Killie, but ffs lads we could also be easily 2 or 3 up.
