Benfica v Celtic, 20/11/12, 7:45PM.

Wanyama being suspended for the next game is just as big a loss tonight as the result

 

...seriously, newsreader on STV, 'Celtic only needed a draw!' as if we only needed to turn up, take it and go through!!!! I had serious concerns about this game ie us not being the home team and Benfica needing to win (they have got a good home record, by the way)
Anyway, It was a poor performance. Too many unfit/injured/sick players for starters but I was so happy with the Barcelona result and the guarantee of European football after Xmas.
Really looking forward to the Spartak match and a good result! It has been a fantastic campaign (away win and Barcelona win) All good!!!

 

To be honest Ambrose, Forster and Wanyama are the most reliable players in our starting XI. The only ones who consistently play like they give a * no matter where or against whom they're playing.

 

whats the twitter liink joke all about i dont get it ???

 

Pick a new sport?

Probably been following football longer than you.

Ambrose's "quality and composure" did not do him any good when he was "defending" tonight did it?

Did well a few times when he took the ball out of defence, but was shakier than a fat naked burd sitting on top of a washing machine on it's last spin.

 

Come on, that's some exaggeration there.

 

Lost the goal in Moscow ball watching
Robbed 1st goal v Kilmarnock.
Own goal v dundee utd.
tonight he thinks he has so much time he dithers and loses the ball.

Yes us and that * centre back position, Caldwell,McManus,Mistakeovic,Ambrose....can our scouts not spot a decent centre half...there will be more mistakes from this guy.

 

He was unifit but he did work hard...blame should be directed at lennon.

 

I think you may have forgotten about the offside rule. He wasn't caught flat footed, he was making sure he was onside.

Watt should have slipped the ball through to him with his earlier chance.

 

Hello Miguel, Where were all of the Benfica fans tonight? This was surely your biggest match of the season and I was surprised to see all of the empty seats in the stadium. Seems such a shame that your fellow supporters did not turn up to support what was a really great effort and result for your team.:bbpd:

 

Hopefully Beram will get the bit between his teeth and show why he deserves a place in the starting line up.

 

Like everyone else I would of taking going into the last game with a chance of progression before the group started.
However,a few points,people on here are correct to be critical of the line up tonight.Brown should never of started,...besides the fact he is not fit, he now is not good enough for this celtic side,...Hooper was not fit and should of started on the bench to come on as an impact sub.Sammy was his usual inconssistent self.We needed a point tonight and Lenny plays 2 up front...why?
We were lucky not to be beaten by a lot more tonight...Lenny is still very naive in my book.he has done a great job in Europe so far this season in fairness but some of his decision making is bizarre.

 

This is a discussion forum after all and differences of opinion are positively encouraged. It would be boring if we all thought the same.

Even if you are wrong about Ambrose.










:icon_mrgreen:

 

Aye, like Rohypnol.

Sorry mo chara I do genuinely like your posts. Just slagging you a bit.

 

Thanks
















Ambrose was * tonight of that I am right

 

A method that still works

 

I'm the same as you. Nothing wrong with a difference of opinion in any case.

 

ambrose is getting some rollicking on here, I didn't think he was as bad as some a re saying

 

He was certainly not good he's a fud he was stuck in the mud.

 

ambrose played well tonight only player who seem to realise we had to try and keep the ball ,thought the defence done ok midfield and up front was the problem
