Elfsborg vs Celtic,Wed 7th August'13 KO 6.45pm (BBC Scotland)

If we go 1-0 down, * forbid, Lennon needs to put Stokes on and move Sammy out wide straight away.

 

Can fake grass die.

 

We'll score four in this second half

 

ch ch ch changes.

 

I'd maybe risk trying to bring both on.Not convinced this ref would notice.

 

To be fair the whole team looks flat-footed.

I've already had a pop at the CB's, but Ledley, Commons and Sammy have been leaning on their heels for far too often too.

Shooders ain't getting away with it either... a lot of poor decisions from him and his fear of getting clattered is becoming a real problem. He has to understand that he will need to put himself in danger if he wants to really hit the heights over his career. He's not a wee laddie anymore!

 

Samaras hates being upfront especially on his own. The last thing he wants is to keep jumping for headers when the ball is punted up to him and that's not how we should be playing.

Get a striker on and get Sammy on the left, then he can get the ball down and run at players, which is what he is best at.

The centre of defence have been shocking so far and are making Bangura look half decent.

We look like we have never played with each other the amount of passes that are going to the other team.

C'Mon Celtic! Lets pick it up in the second half.

 

I know man, I just don't want anyone thinking I rate Ambrose at centre half

 

Nobody really gets pass marks from me in that first half.

We were distinctly average and made them look better than they really are.

 

And unfortunately for him he probably won't get an opportunity with us again.

 

Comon Celtic!!! Give us an early goal in the 2nd half! Mon!!!!!

 

* hopefully I like BBJ but he doesn't half talk * sometimes

 

Mon the * Hoops intae these * turnips.

 

Our mistake so far is over estimating this team and sitting back too much.

 

Why did they water the pitch? Its articficial ffs. Has been going out from under players feet too. Fairly dangerous

 

Because he rarely played agaist such a disorganised defence! Wilson and Ambrose are playing the proverbial bomb-scare role tonight!

Anyway... second half on it's way.

Fingers crossed and see y'all in a bit!

Hail hail!

 

Don't think he will bring Sammy to the left as he was saying he might not last the full game. You just know he's going to leave it as it is until 80 mins in.

 

Mon the Hoops. Better start please.

 

Bangura struggled with injury for the first season with us and when he got back to fitness, his confidence was gone and wasnt getting much gametime. Loaning him out has given him his edge back.
