Celtic v Maribor - Official Match Thread (UCL qualifier, 20th Aug, 19:45 SS5)

The return leg next Tuesday is live on ITV4

 

Am I the only one who has been getting Maribor mixed up with Malmo? Not got a clue why.

Got 10 cans of Cider in the fridge already chilling for tomorrow. Can't wait.

 

yes


Wish i had booked Friday off would have leathered the cider as well.

 

Would have been even better if you'd booked the Thursday off mate :smiley-laughing002:

I'm still working on Thursday, I'll just start early and finish early... that's the plan anyway :icon_mrgreen:

 

Can't wait for this game and I'm sure we can Atleast get a draw over there

 

No i already booked Thursday off, but I was gonna give it a right
kicking if we play well & that would have needed Friday to
recover as well.:icon_mrgreen:

 

I hope we start the game like we done against legia in the first leg.

 

Don't know what you mean by that?

 

A 2 day hangover? Just go for it and call in sick mate :icon_mrgreen:

 

Pack the midfield and dont be too adventerous. We have been * in Europe recently. We would be doing seriously well to come away with a draw.

As in who were the crowd racially abusing and why?

 

Disappointed no striker going into game. Chucks need kicked.

Hoping it doesn't turn out like Legia, here's hoping not.

 

With more game time behind us, I feel that we will get a least a draw over there, possibly a 1-0 win.

 

For the love of * just stay in the tie! I'm sick of having to return to Celtic Park 2 or 3 goals down ffs!

 

Always makes for a very interesting return leg though.:icon_mrgreen:

 

was ready to order my 25 quid ticket tommorraw but think ill pass.thats not including transport and cargo.thank *. save a good few quid now this is on normal tv saving all my cash at minute as im going travelling.

watching tommorraws game in my mates as its on sky

 

yeah 2 day hangovers are the norm for me now as well.

 

I think everyone forgets we are historically absolutely * away from home. Playing 4-2-3-1 is madness in my opinion. Got to be a 4-5-1

Lustig
Denayer
Virgil
Izzaguirre

McGregor
Kayal
Johansen
Mulgrew
Berget or Derk Long *

Stokes

 

Will be locking myself in a back office and watching this on company time. Mon the * Celts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

See this being extremely hard tie. Maribor have two very good strikers, one being the guy we tried to sign. We couldnt handle legias one decent striker so I really hope we are prepared this time to snuff these guys out. Certainly shouldnt be looking to play expansive football.

Really hope ambrose is left on the bench and if he does play used at right back or in defensive midfield. Mulgrew should not be used when playing two central midfielders and needs extra help and I feel izzy should be left out as he is the the area teams focus on when we play in europe.

Cant beleive we havent signed a striker but with us going with our current squad I would stick with stokes up top as although he isnt the best lone striker he knows how to bring the other players into the game and always links up well with commons who we need to play well.

Would go with 4-5-1

Ambrose--Deneyar--VVD--Lustig

-------------------------stokes

Our best player this year mcgregor not playing but hes not going to provide defensively and can always be brought on later in the game.

Play compact and give opposition no space.

I know Deila will do the opposite of all this and I hope it works as I would love to see us go there and play attacking football and dominate the game but we dont have the players to do that yet
