Celtic vs Legia Warsawa (UCL 3rd round qualifier, August 6th 7.45. NOT ON TV).

Im not that big a fan of McGregor, dont think he should be playing. I think Griffiths is a lot better than him and even though McGregor is a natural midfielder, Griffiths works much harder defensively too.

 

Forster

Lustig - Ambrose - Van Dijk - Izzaguire

Kayal - Johansen

Griffiths - Commons - McGregor

Pukki​

 

it's a good shout anyway.

 

Let´s rape them tonight.

 

I just hope we don't go out aiming to settle for a draw. I also don't want to see us sitting back if we get the first goal. A fast tempo, sharp passing, control the midfield and I think we can get a comfortable good away win.

Is Stokes fit for this one?

 

Posted on a Legia forum today...



...and some interesting numbers posted by user "padre":

Goals in Europe scored by first 11 players: Legia - 27; Celtic - 22;
Games in Europe (first 11 players): Legia - 247; Celtic - 230;
Games in Europe (the entire squad): Legia - 390; Celtic - 341;
Average age: Legia - 27,6; Celtic - 25,6.

I still think Celtic are slight favourites for the game in Warsaw, and definite favourites to go through.

 

* buzzing for this

 

The most amazing fact on that sheet is that Commons is 60kg

 

Forster
Lustig Ambrose VVD Izzy
Kayal
Johansen Biton
Griffiths Derk
Pukki

Possibly Commons for Biton but that might be too weak a midfield. No-doubt Mulgrew will start anyway so this won't happen.

 

From what I've saw of Deila so far I don't think that's in his makeup.

 

I meant how small a minority. 10k fans would still be a minority of Legia fans. Are we talking a couple of hundred fans or several thousand? Thanks

I think I am confusing you with someone else to be fair. Your English is good. I could barely understand the other guy.

Nice to hear about the charity events and stuff.

Sorry to hear you don't give a flying * whether I like your club or not. Personally I want fans of other clubs to like Celtic, but I respect your choice.

 

If we reach the group stages, I sincerely hope he makes it part of his makeup pretty fast!

 

I agree up to a point, there's no shame being slightly more defensive but we need to be braver on the ball in Europe, I hope he keeps that mentality - more defensive, yes but still be brave on the ball, still press our opponents.

Legia XI 53
Celtic XI 226

 

so you would drop the captain ??

 

Clearly not accurate when it's just the line up from the Jr game and Tony watt is still in the subs.....

 

He's out for the next couple months, mate.

 

My rough estimate would be a 100-200 far-right fanatics.

Nae bother, but you have to cut us some slack--we are Poles, living in Poland, so ours is necessarily a rather confined experience of the English language.

I thought you were being sarcastic.

In any case, despite the minority of Legia fans being far-right and minority of Celtic fans being far-left, I don't see any substantial reason for animosity between our clubs.

Interesting. Thanks.

 

the ultras stand holds about 10k, and there's more than one ultras group in that section with about 100 or more right wing scumbags.
