UCL Last 16: Celtic v Juventus Chat

2 1 Celtic which is a good result across there just a pity regards the first game. Where we were freekn cheated

 

Hope Wanyama snaps Pirlo in half

 

What?

If we were 2-0 up in the dying seconds and missed a sitter to go 3-0 up I would be devastated. * that feeling.

 

Fair enough, it'd be devastating, I agree with that much; but I can't even find words to express how I'd feel if we were on the end of another undeserved 3-0. Devastated wouldn't even come close.

 

Didn't see the game today, I see Stokes came off after 71 minutes. He did't get a knock did he? I've a feeling he will start v Juventus. 3-0 down with nothing to lose, Lenny will send them out to get an early goal and see what happens from there.

 

Is never be able to forgive commons if that happened, would be one of the worst feelings.

 

can see them taking 4 or 5 off us tbh

Surprised by some of the comments about Forrest, he has been injured for most of the season and has looked dangerous when playing. I think this game is perfect for a front three of him, Hooper and Sammy like we had against Udinese away last season.

 

not much excitment about this, but ive got a feeling it could be a good night, maybe not go through but make amends for the first leg. Good too see today the team have be working hard in training on set pieces, think that could be with one eye on turin. Hopefully if we go out we got out with a bang. FORZA CELTIC!!!

 

ARRRRGGGGGHHHHHH


I just realised I won't be watching this because I'll be away, but at least there's a chance I'll be already * drunk when I find out the final result on the night.


Maybe, maybe, there is a chance somewhere I'll see most of the game though.



Still even if I'm not watching, come on Celtic!!! It's not impossible to at least take them to extra time, it'd require an amount of effort that I've never seen from a Celtic team, but if any club can come up with the goods in this dire situation, then we can.

Never lose the faith.

 

Forster
Matthews Wilson Mulgrew Izzy
Commons Wanyama Ledley Sammy
Stokes Hooper

Is the team I'd have, Mulgrew for basically taking set plays, possibly also Stokes, Hooper, Sammy as a front three with Commons just behind them, Wanyama dropping to defence with Matthews and Izzy bombing forward.
​

 

Is there not going to be a new thread for the away game?

This one has been going since December

 

Think they will take at least 2 or 3 off us again defence a joke right now .

 

Well that's the spirit. holy pope, holy *:smiley-laughing002:

 

Early goal is essential. Normally it is us that concede early doors away in Europe so need to concentrate. Would go with both Sammy and Forrest for their pace and counter - attacking ability.

Forster
Matthews, Wilson, Ambrose, Izzy
Forrest Ledley Kayal Wanyama Sammy
Hooper

Forrest and Sammy playing off Hooper. Kayal is a must start for me - our midfield must be as solid as it possibly can be. Wouldn't even play Mulgrew if he was fully fit tbh, would only be accommodating him at the expense of more suited players.

Get an early goal and panic them - who knows, anything can happen in football. Personally I'd be happy with a good performance and a credible result, a draw would be decent! 1-1 is my head's prediction, 4-1 is my heart (sammy all 4)

 

I think he should play Stokes in this match. He can play him with Hooper or even play him on his own up front. Stokes is the form man at the moment and Hooper is going to leave at the end of the season anyway. I would prefer if he played both, Hooper will have something to prove as well after the first leg.
