Celtic vs Malmö - Wednesday, 19th August Live BT Sport Europe

old celtic tops mate

 

It is not engrained in the DNA of Celtic. We never have been and never will be a team who can just finish a tie. This team were pretty gash and after going 2-0 up you need to look to cut their throat while they are down and go for 4/5-0 and finish the game off.

What is the script with our footballing psychologists I wonder?

 

i seen at least 1 real Ronny out post people need to cill out a bit we where the better team by a bit tonight 3-1 everybody is Happy concide with the last kick of the game and where useless , its going to be an absolutely nerve werker in Sweden but supporting Celtic isn't easy but its always worthwhile izzy was really * though think we need to move on : 54:

 

But there known to be weak away from home and strong at home. So to go away from home when they were poor is worrying.

 

Ask gabby

 

A bet Devlin will disagree and say the exact opposite:smiley-laughing002:

 

That number 22 * goading at the celtic fans after they got their 2nd goal. Should be fined for that.

 

I agree. It's so important to get a goal, preferably two or three. A goal from them and we're out. If we score one, they have to score two. If we score two they have to score three. To play for a 0-0 result, and then they get a stupid goal at the end, It's over.

 

Wish I had your confidence.

From the tenth minute on, we never really looked like scoring either. Plus they have two of their best players coming back while we might be without two of our best.

We need to improve the performance massively next week. Nowhere near good enough tonight.

 

Cheers, made me laugh, which I needed TBH.

 

Without doubt

It's hard to come away from that, 2 up in 15 and having won 3-2 yet the feeling from the Malmo camp is they are in the driving seat. Like you, i'm not buying the fear factor after seeing them first hand, I think they are a much poorer side than us. There manager can * his gums about being delighted at 3-2 and more than happy to take a 3-1, but those celebrations were relief that they were still in the tie, not that this was done and dusted like they are going on..

They have to come at us, and we have pace on the counter and player's who can punish them. We are still winning and proved we could slice them apart when we got in the groove. It's bitterly disappointing to concede at the death and from 2 goals which were completely avoidable and our own doing, but we know what we have to do now, make sure we do not get beat..

I know we're all feeling * at the ending but we are still in control, ever so slightly but we can do this..

 

I don't think we were that poor tonight. I thought Bitton had a bad game by his standards and our 2 conceded goals were sloppy, but other than that I felt we played well.

If we get our mentality right and don't focus on the fact it's an away match, I think we can avoid defeat which will see us through.

My main concern is if we either try to go for a draw or otherwise completely bottle it, but if we forget about tonight and treat it like a 90 minute match I think we will win.

 

We're favourites in my eyes. They have to beat us over there. Don't forget that.

 

Thanks, I was thinking that because of the United Colours of Celtic FC but when I seen the green stripes and the Juve black and white I was wondering. Humbling how little I know of our history, I really would've appreciated it more.

 

Common sense.

 

The Johansen chance was massive. Score that whwn we were killing them early on and i'm convinced that woulda been it. On the plus side, again, it shows how well we penetrated that backline. For a large stage in the first half particularly, we battered them..

 

This is spot on. Too much is made of their home advantage in my opinion. An early goal for Celtic and that home advantage quickly turns into nerves and panic. From the minute we kick off we are winning. We are absolutely capable of scoring when we need a goal.

 

No problem

 

Just in the door from the game, bit pished bit this is how I see it. Gutted to lose that goal so late on but having seen Malmo they are nothing special. Their best player comes back and they have a good home support but I still believe we can do this. We've won 3-2 and were by far the better team. I can even see us winning over there too.

 

What is Malmo's home record like? I've seen people saying different things.
