Helsinki vs. Celtic 08/08 18:00 CL Live Premier Sports

2nd game of the season remember

 

Would have taking this at H/T before the game started ,Celtic are not at there best but that goes better for the 2nd half.

 

Fantastic pressing from the bhoys first half. Too often though we've relied on a big long ball up to Sammy, when we've got the ball down on the ground and played through Commons we've looked class. Could easily be 3-0 up.

 

well all sound so far! but we should really be out of sight tbh with the chances we have had! well need to keep it going and execute at least 1 chance,

 

the left hand side of our team is murder izzy is a shadow of his former self and samaras has been rank on top of that, pick it up guys.

 

Really good first half performance. Commons was outstanding.

Brown missed a certain goal but has played very well outwith that has Wanyama.

Expecting more from Ledley, Samaras and Izaguirre. Most of our attacks are coming down our Right.

They've only had the one half chance through Savage but unfortunately that's all it would take to knock us out.

 

Me son told me HJK havent lost at home in 2 yrs.

 

I'd of took 0-0 at HT. We are the better team and look very solid at the back. Pressing that high up the pitch can be very tiring and I doubt it can be done for the full 90 minutes, but it is a very good tactic and it's working well.

All that's missing is that all important goal.

 

Team has been really good! Wanyama a little slack but doing okay in midfield. Brown should have scored but hes been playing well, much better in an advanced roll!

 

Definitely should be a goal up by now. Broony and Izzy look like our weak links.

 

I'm pleased with I've seen so far. Seen a lot, lot worse from Celtic away.

Felt very comfortable myself, just treat them like an SPL side and grab a goal or two second half.

 

Feel quite comfortable after that, brown should have buried that chance. Would like to see Samaras support Hooper a little more in the second half and we'll be fine.

 

Thanks guys

 

Shocking refereeing. Giving them Free Kicks when a Celtic player hasn't even touched the other one on a regular basis.

 

we look solid but thats worth nothing while they can still win the game with just 1 goal! we need to score, 50th minute goal would be nice! CMON CELTIC!!!

 

Very good performance, brown and commons have been the standout players. Hopefully we can make our dominance count in the 2nd half, Helsinki are a poor side.

 

if anyone in this team needs criticism right now it is hooper, last game and first half of this he has been no where !

 

I wonder if Kayal is not in the team because he is being sold.

 

I'd like to bring someone to take place of Izzy...he has been * lately.

 

HJK Helsinki look like a very ordinary team now that we are closing them down properly. If we go out to this team then really we will have nobody to blame but ourselves.

If we get the first goal here then I can't see Helsinki scoring twice(but I thought that in Aalborg too).
