UCL Last 16: Celtic v Juventus Chat

* I really we win this, I think we can do this, who would have thought a year ago that we would be here!

 

Mon the hoops. We know we can beat Juventus, it's a case of going out there and playing some quality football.

 

They just drew 1-1 away to Parma.

 

They're in rough form, hopefully it continues.

 

Lot of unhappy Juve fans as their league lead has dwindled, dropping 5 pts in their last two league games. This will put more pressure on the club to sign another striker this window. Hopefully they don't add more fire power.

 

Finally got my ticket after getting paid the other day, just in time :icon_mrgreen:


They drew 1-1 with Parma today after having a lot of the ball and a lot of shots without finishing much again. In saying that, Parma haven't lost at home all season so it's not exactly a shocker.

To put it into a context we can take favour from though, they haven't won either league match since the turn of the year (after the winter break). Lost 1-2 to Sampdoria - meaning the near invincible home form isn't as solid as it was since the stadium opened before last season - and drew today with Parma.

Beat a resurgent Milan after extra time in the Cup though to be fair. Only fear I have is that the slight dip - and I stress slight- may have come a couple of weeks too early for us. Hopefully not though

 

are the tickets on sale now.

 

Thursday can't come quick enough for me, really want my hands on my ticket for this one.

 

Sedate yourself until Thursday?

 

Gave up the sedatives for New Year, gonna have to hardcore it through.

 

What's the dates for the two legs again?

 

12th Feb and 6th March.

 

:smiley-laughing002:

 

Cheers bud.

Seems like an eternity away

 

Still just to Season Ticket holders just now mate

 

I think I would go with this for the home game:

--------------Forster------------
---Ambrose---Wilson---Mulgrew--
Lustig--------Wanyama-------Izzy
---------Brown------Kayal-------
----------Hooper---Samaras------

Away game:

--------------Forster----------
Matthews---Ambrose--Wilson---Izzy
--------Wanyama-Mulgrew-----
Brown---------Kayal-----Samaras
--------------Hooper----------

You have the likes of Stokes, Commons, Forrest, Ledley to come on if things aren`t going to plan

 

Ambrose might not make the first game, ACN finishes two days before this game and I think Nigeria are favourites to win it. If they make it to the final then Ambrose would have one days rest before the home tie.

 

*, forgot all about the ACN. I hope Nigeria go out early in that case but they do have a decent side so will probably go quite far

 

Aye I know mate, want big Efe to do well obviously but would like to see them go out early on for our sake - who holds an international tournament during the feckin season?

 

Ghana will be favourites. Nigeria probably second favourite, but don't they have a bit of an underachievers tag recently?
