Kilmarnock vs Celtic, Wed 12/8/15 - 7:45pm kick off - BT Sports 1

I'm more worried about how Deila can't replace it. We've known how much we miss him in there for a long time, Deila has admitted how much effect it had in the qualifiers last year. We need to change it if he's not playing.

3 men in midfield if we have no Scott Brown, even against Partick the midfield was disjointed, they were very poor so we got away with it.

It still worries me that Deila has so much faith in the system, it works the majority if the time but when we have certain personell missing it is very flawed.

 

Can't ever play Izzy and Ambrose in the same defence again. One of them is enough. Also, Deila shouldn't play Johansen at CDM again as he's totally useless there, then again, I don't know who we could have in there when Brown is out apart from him.

 

Should drop Rogic deeper and let Bitton play the defensive role, or put Henderson/Armstrong in there if they're fit. Either that or put 2 up front and just attack.

 

Can't believe I missed John Collins comments after the game last night :smiley-laughing002:


I'm disappointed in myself

 

His name is Leigh Griffiths and he scored last night.

 

Dalia needs to kill games in Scotland you said, his style of play is killing it already I say.

 

Last night was all to similar to stuff over the last 12 months that Legia badly exposed. Under Ronnie we play fast, high pressing football. We go through a serious of passes and our back line gets higher up the Park. We lose the ball and within 2/3 passes the opposition is bearing down on goal. Last night if it wasn't for poor 1 on 1 finishing by Killie and a save by Craig (feet) feet, we would have been 3-1 down at half time.
Then in post match interview (not for 1st time ) Ronnie says we lacked discipline, were too open. If he knows that and we know that ,what's going on? This is why Legia stuffed us and it's over 1 year and we're still doing it. If the Malmo Boss wanted to know how to beat us, then Killie showed up our flaws in fine style.

 

Agreed, it's too much liability in an already fragile defense. But, i think we may be seeing Izzy's swansong. Think when Ronny said openly he'd warned him it was all on him to do. Think we'll have a replacement this window, and young Tierney as backup.
Brown is currently irreplaceable. Every time he's not on the pitch we're galf the team, no matter what the level. We need another DM pretty sharpish. Without one we need to drop the 4231...

Edit: not drop 4231 permanently, just when Brown's out

 

Can we have a Poll about the Poll please?!

Are the two members who voted for Efe Ambrose ...

1- at the wind-up

Or

2- just plain mental

 

apart from griffiths this must be the worst set of forwards we have since the days of the early 90s and the one man up front doest help our cause either always like 2 forwards against scottish teams . think celtic must bring in a left back and a class forward if we make the group stages .

 

Yes.

 

1 from 9 attempts. A goal doesn't exempt him from criticism, when he could and should have scored more.

 

It a difficult one this I like griff and I like that he chases every ball and anticipates where the ball will end up , I just don't think we have had a player like him since Sutton

It would be nice if the other brilliant midfielders we have contributed a bit more
