Celtic v Elfsborg - CL Qualifier - Wednesday 31 July 19.45pm (NOT ON TV)

'He (Mo) did well. A thankfulness task for home at times. Thought Efe and Kelvin played him very well.' (MH)

 

Kayal and Brown should not be a CM pairing.

Kayal was very off the ball, Forrest also didn't set the heather on fire, our overall passing wasn't so great.

Stokes also shouldn't play up top himself, I'd start Sammy up front next game himself and play Derka Derka LM.

Our defence was good, hope we keep Wilson.

You can see we missed Hooper; Samaras, Stokes and Commons were all outside the box in the build up, we kinda needed someone to play in the penalty box.

Happy with the result, the tie is definitely not over, hopefully we can get an early goal next week and relax.

 

We really lacked a cutting edge tonight was murder to watch at times

 

in fairness i think fraser could have stayed in the changing room for 90mins chris commons. Rubbing it in there

 

I'd give Forrest until next summer. If he improves then good, keep him. If not, just sell him.

Been average for far too long, just * me off now.

 

@celticfc: KC: 'Frustrating evening. Reminded me of how we played against Barcelona.'

Eh? don't understand this quote.

 

So glad someone else feels the same he goes missing alot for me hes the player that should be on the ball more

 

Thanks interesting comments there form the gaffer I was expecting him to rip into Mo regarding the Wilson thing

 

Probably means we played the elfsborg played the night against barca which is true

 

Definitely. The sort of player we rely on going forward and making things happening. On his game he can be exceptional but he rarely is on his game.

Just glad we've signed another proper winger now, wee bit of a weight lifted off Shooders' shooders.

 

The context in which he says it is lost through text :smiley-laughing002:

He means Elfsborg played the way Celtic did against Barcelona last year, ie, sit back and frustrate the opposition and then attempt to hit them on the counter attack.

 

"A thankfulness task for home at times." - eh ? I actually don't really know what Lennon's trying to say there :smiley-laughing002:

 

Understand now

 

Think he said "him" and not "home". Twitter account must have made an erse of it.

 

Need that push/support in midfield, and desperately need a STRIKER!!!

Stokes is not the answer for our CF vacancy. But in fairness there was * all support.

Much better in second half but that cutting edge. Who knows....after this weekend, another game under our belts, and hopefully a storming win can bring confidence to the squad.

 

Very happy with that, should have been more. They defended very well but offered virtually nothing going forward, there was nothing there to make me worry about next week. We played some great stuff at times, some of our quick passing and moving was first class, all we need's a better end product. Ref was brutal tonight, the amount of times our players were wiped clean out of the game was staggering, cards didn't come out often enough. He should have laid down a marker with an early booking, the more challenges they got away with the more they knew they could get away with. Apart from that, very happy though. Sammy MOTM.
Also, Bangura's a *.

 

Don't know if it's been posted, but here's the goal.

Totally agree, does he ever actually look up, seems to stare at the ground when hes moving probably why his first touch is shocking, and this stopping with his arms in the air like a school boy when he thinks hes been fouled getting on my *
