UCL Last 16: Celtic v Juventus Chat

We'll add some power and pace in January and even though we are massive underdogs, nobody expects us to come out and play. They expect us to defend and defend and defend.

I think in January we'll add power and pace and that might allow us to come out and play, i think that might be the big shocker.

This game might turn out to be an even bigger shock than the Barca game and that's the way we'll look at it. Go at it from the start at Celtic Park and put the fear into them.

The pressure is really on Juve, so we wanna score first and put the pressure on and just keep turning the screw and watch them unravel.

Of course they think they are through already, so this kinda plays into the psychology that suits us. It's an embarrassment to go out against us, which brings with it a certain amount of fear. I think Platini, is secretly worried about this one, but nobody expects us to come out and play and i think we will.

 

If we where huns we'd be boycotting th CL over these comments lol

 

I honestly couldn't tell you how this'll pan out, but I know one thing for sure, we will give Juventus a hard * game. Our Bhoys will try their hearts out, I know that for a fact, and even if we lose, knowing that we tried our hearts out is enough for me. Ideally, I'm hoping for a 1-0 win at Celtic Park, then just park the * bus in Turin. Hopefully it works.

 

Dreamt last night of a 2-0 win at Paradise, with Lustig missing a penalty in the last minute. Whether that came back to haunt us or not I don't know, I woke up before the second leg.

 

As long as the Bhoys put in 110% effort you can ask no more, whatever the outcome

 

Juve are a big physical side, but the physical side is equally matched with skill, pace and a good team ethic. We just need to match up and focus on cutting off the supply from the goalie or from Pirlo.

They'll put incredible pressure on us when we have the ball, if we're brave and can play the ball around, they'll give away free kicks so we need Hooper or Watt, coming deep, taking the ball and forcing them into rash challenges.

The more we can keep possession, the more likely they will be to make mistakes and in the right area of the pitch means yellow or red cards. Commons and Watt could be a good combination, ball out early to Commons, ball over the top to Watt and force them into last man scenarios. Going a man up would give us a brilliant advantage, from there anything can happen.

 

on the radio the have spent 6 mill on a forward and 5mill on a defender. *

 

Remind me how much our squad cost compared to all the teams we beat in the CL so far?

 

am looking forward to it ,all going well me and my two sons will be there ,,love coming over ,1 nill i think also ,slan anios mo charras,,have a happy new year..

 

Bendtner has had thigh surgery and is out for 2 months.

 

Nope dude.
We rentend Bendtner which has a fee of 5-6m if we want to keep it next year (i highly doubt we will) and we took for 1.5m Peluso + 3.5m if we ends the deal this summer.

So if Peluso screw off we just paid 1.5m and he goes back to Atalanta.

 

Our starting 11 vs Juventus will have cost between 7-15 million pounds. You're still lightyears ahead.

 

This is the biggie and its only just over a month away now ..Cant wait for it ..Hoping we can take some sort of lead across there ..It will be hard ut i reckon we can do it ..A clean sheet is a must though at home ..

 

juve fan

Im a juve fan and im only here to see how celtic fans feel about the draw and to give you guys my honest opinion. The truth is that I would have preferred drawing arsenal because celtic are unpredictable.

Nonetheless it makes no difference, we (juve) have the best defenders and goalie in the world and currently have the best defensive record in the group stage, we also have one of the best midfields. Chiellini is suspended (and injured) for the first leg at celtic park which worries me because you guys might actually score a few goals however martin caceres (who will replace chiellini) is also world class himself but isnt a leader at the back like chiellini.

I predict a 1-0 win for us at celtic park (giovinco scores) and a 3-0 win in turin (matri, giovinco, marchisio).

 

Bonjourno!

Juventus are unquestionably an excellent team with world class players (i.e. Buffon, Pirlo, Vidal).

I suspect that in both games, your team will dictate the tempo and will control the passing for the majority. in the CL this season, we have shown that we can defend excellently as a unit, and can counter pretty well.

I think that you will score in both games, but I think that we will also. If we can get a result at Celtic Park in the first game, that will go a long way towards getting a result in the away.

You are certainly the favourites, but you are in no way certainties to gain qualification.

Be prepared for the battle of your life.

 

im a juve fan and i can tell you right now that we dont ever see ourselves as favorites and treat all of our opponents the same, whether its celtic or real madrid we will play with the same mentality

 

And that is very admirable indeed, but your team are without doubt the favourites to qualify from this tie

 

I can't see Juve beating us at Celtic Park. It'll come down to the away game.

 

If we keep Roberto Baggio quiet we have a good chance.
