ICT vs Celtic Sat 23rd Aug 12.30 BT Sport 2

That could be seen as: he's giving the current players a chance to prove themselves able to adapt to his system, which he is certainly, and quite rightly, going to use long term. Maybe it's rushed, but it's certainly giving players the oppertunity to prove they have a future under him.

 

exactfuckingly we could easily have won that 4-1 had we a took our chances today and that's with 3 regulars 4 from the 1st team squad that dont usually play and 4 kids

some of our support are getting greedy with their expectations, starting to act like we celtic are entitled to win all games at all times and if we don't its the blame game, ronnies * get him tae *

dare i say it the deid ones when they were winning their 9 were often blamed of this

 

Just Big Pete & the Board wumming the Sevconians :smiley-laughing002:

 

Don't set him such a high standard. :smiley-laughing002:

 

But it's the constant communication and advice during the game that will help O'Connell the most.

 

Which wont work. Not in the Scottish game for players to be drinking water and the likes.

Cola & the Irn Brew banned...Ronny is a fascist.

 

Just calm down you, Vert hasn't even got a degree ffs!

 

:smiley-laughing002::smiley-laughing002:

 

I have faith that he will go far.

I stand with Vert.

 

Personally think the only problem today was not playing Van Dijk and Denayer because I still think they need the game time together to get the partnership going. I would have went with Mulgrew Denayer Van Dijk Ambrose.

 

I guess. But what is infuriating is that Deila wants to fit square pegs into round holes all the time. Isn't a shrewd approach to transfers(Deila's supposed quality) best compatible with adapting to the qualities and weaknesses of the team you have? FFS, Griffiths at right wing is a criminal offense. Next week, Biton will be playing as a striker, you all mark my words.

 

As said , IF we win on Tuesday it will all be forgotten about. Hopefully Ronny has learned some more as well.

 

Decent runout for the reserves before Maribor.

 

Fair do's to big Yogi, he deserves some credit for setting up the team in the correct way.
Fuckit, it's definitely worth having everyone fresh for the next game. 14 shots on target - no goals. It goes to show that our youth players need a season out on loan. They need games and experience. The guys at Caley are getting that and are starting to see the benefits from last season.

 

Too far.

 

Do you want Deila to play with Lennon's players in Lennon's system?

 

Yes, at least until he gets what he needs to play his system. And it would be good to be well-versed in at least 2 formations, if the opponent requires a different approach. So, even when he gets his perfect squad, surprising someone with 4-3-1-2 would be nice.

 

Not fussed good run out for reserved team and few first team players, apart from own goal was only * in target we can afford to drop points today if keeps first team fresh for Tuesday after all it's main aim with money involved

 

You talk some amount of *. How do you propose the players learning a new system if they are playing with the old one?

 

Train both systems, but don't force the new one until the players are familiar.
