[Official TC Thread] Celtic vs Happoel Be'er Sheva match thread. Wednesday 17th of Aug, 19:45, BTSport2

This gonna be on the card again?

 

If you are on home cup ticket scheme or you ordered before the season ticket holder deadline it is on the card. Not sure if you buy after.

Really don't understand people wanting to play 3 at the back with 2 attackers as wingbacks. This isn't FIFA lads.

 

Think he'll start...

Gordon
Lustig O'Connell Toure KT
Forrest Brown McGregor Sinclair
Dembele Griffiths

Harsh on Rogic but he'll play his part..

 

slightly off topic question; what time is kick off, U.K. Time, for the 2nd leg? BBC says 19:45? I had assumed it would be earlier. Thanks.

 

It's worked not bad so far but I feel the same. Sinclair looks like he won't be the sort of player that can play both ways so he'll need someone behind him.

 

I doubt he will go 3 at the back when we don't know how they fair up against us, and these europe teams a very good at finishing compared to spfl teams.

Id play 4 at the back unless we are 2 goals up front.

Theres £20million prize money on this fixture

I just think we are weak in midfield ever since Bitton has been dropped and i'd take him over macgregor.


Subs

Dembele, macgregor, janko

 

De Vries is fit enough to play btw it was only a slight knock but he's recovered was nothing serious.

I don't think I'd be going with Gordon at all in this one and not just because his confidence has been low and he has been all over the place recently.

A GK who KNOWS they're about to be replaced simply won't have the same hunger and focus as someone like De Vries would in goals on Wednesday, put yourself in Gordons boots, you're thinking to yourself we're about to get into the CL Group Stages and I'm not even going to get to play a single part after playing through the CL Qualifiers to get there? A dangerous mentality to be playing in this sort of game imo when his confidence will be rock bottom.

I'd keep Gordon as far away from this match as possible and have Fasan on the bench as backup to De Vries.

In fact, I think it's time Gordon finds himself a new club most likely because his style just doesn't suit Brendans.

 

I don't think we will play 4 at the back either. That's just the team I think would go out and win the game easily.

I would play this if we have 4 at the back

Looking like this will be close to a sell out come kick off going by the stadium planner,not to mention the good weather will attract a rush at the end.

I do fancy us to get through this tie but it will go right to the wire at the end of the second leg,I think defensively we are good enough now and Rodgers knows how to change the game if need be.

I think the label of 'the 20mil match' adds a bit too much pressure although I understand how important it is.The worst case senario is we drop into Europe groups and correct me if I'm wrong but we would still bank a minimum of 8mil?

Anyway I think this squad deserves to be competing against the best in Europe and of course it puts our players in the shop window potentially adding millions to their value.

 

My prediction for Wednesday is 4-0 to us,come on The Bhoys!! I am watching it at my sisters house with my 2 nepthews!

 

No Toure?!

 

How much is the ticket for card holders

 

Not sure about price Europa is our level IMO as it stands right now even with more improvement but I guess the price tag makes he decision what's better for us ...

 

I'm on the HCTS but got tickets through for this

Think Rodgers said hes still catching up regards fitness- not sure I would risk it in such a big game despite him being a really good defender. Lustig and O'Connell looked good against astana to.

 

£25 for * ST and £30 for * non ST.
£15 concession ST £20 non ST

Deadline has passed for ST holders not on HCTS to buy their own seat so own seat might not still be available.

 

That mean you were moved because of UEFA?
