Celtic v Shakter Karagandy UCL Qualifier 20th Aug, KO 4pm, Live on ITV4

Yes I'd play him on the left, sammy on the right and commons behind the striker, preferably stokes. Just because you have 2 strikers on the pitch doesn't mean that your guaranteed to score more goals, you do know that? Boeriggter with his pace and good crossing ability would make us far more dangerous imo

 

You're the one from Coatbridge, you tell me.

 

Lennon needs to learn that attack is the best form of defence. Attack from the front, etc.

 

I might be wrong but I think we have only overcome a 2-0 defeat in Europe once in our history.

 

Our BEST defender - your def at the wynd up

 

Play the team that beat Liverpool, they are all hungry for games, the shaktar team wanted it more tonight was really disappointing

 

well we are going to double it.

 

Sad thing is we sold our best defender and are now left in limbo.

 

Who's better than him? Maybe lustig...I have seen nothing from van dijk that fills me with confidence and mouyokolo is a bombscare....

 

* did I just watch?
We've no strike force its pretty * obvious now, still think we should go through though

 

Also I don't think we underestimated Shakter at all.

Completely over estimated them as we did with Elfsborg.

No strikers. No pressure on the ball. No flair, and frankly looked scared.

Why are we letting teams like this play football against us?

We badly need to re-establish how you stamp your authority on a game. And that does not mean keeping possession in the back four.

* sake I could talk all night

 

They'll have 3 days in Glasgow, hardly going to make a difference.

 

I don't like ambrose at the back he is dodgy but so was them two tonight when was the last time we had two solid defenders at the back who stayed there more than a season ? mulgrew had a good season at CB then gets moved back out of that position

 

Used to long distance travelling for his internationals, has champions league experience with us and a succesful african cup of nations run with Nigera. If not our best - then most experienced. Definitely should've played tonight.

 

Don't be too harsh on Mouyokolo and Van Dijk, it's the first time they've ever played together, its Mouyokolo's 2nd competitive game and Van Dijk first competitive start

 

Cause Van Dijk has played enough minutes to be judged yet?

" website man of the match : Emilio Izaguirre"

 

Just like we had 3 days over there, every little helps and we need a lot of help.

 

Lucky to beat elfsborg
Same old predictable play
A left back thats not kicked a ball in 2 years getting his game each week.
A manager who's tactics are hopeless
Same old Favourites playing
Lucky to beat Ross County in the last few mins whilst St Johnstone take 4 off them
"a kind of pattern developing here" eh
So ANYONE surprised about tonights result ?

 

He hasn't played enough minutes to be judged, but he's also not played enough minutes to be thrown into the most important game of our season.
