[Official TC Thread] Rosenborg v Celtic, UCL Qualifier 2nd Leg, Wed 2nd August 19.45 k.o, Live on Premier Sports

Should start griffiths on bench even if he fit. Be useful coming off bench in 60 mins if we need a goal when there defence is tiring.

 

That makes no sense, we need a goal regardless of the time it's scored

 

Simmer.

I say Rosenberg play same way as last week. Sit in and pack defence. Hit us on counter again. cant see him getting much space to do anything at start off game

 

Sounds more like my FIFA 17 tactics.

Think McGregor will start. His work rate and closing down will be useful along with his eye for a goal. Brendan always talks about his work rate.

 

Don't take it personally mate.

Actually do. He's saying your *.

 

Yeah, during night.

 

If everyone fit we need fit then i would change my original team from last week on the basis of what i seen on saturday to be

Gordon

Lustig Simunoic Ajer Tierney

Armstrong Brown McGregor

Forrest Griffiths Sinclair​

 

Same team for me, rogic to come on if we need a goal, if Griffiths isn't fit I'd play Forrest through the middle and Hayes wide

 

Interview with Rosenborgs Fredrik Midtsjø

Reporter: A couple of days away from from the Celtic game at home now. Whats your thoughts on the game?

Midtsjø: - Will be exciting. As we know we managed to get a good result away. We played alright at times with good structure defensivly so we believe we can go through.

Reporter: But what we all want to know is how Rosenborg will approach this game at home, because in Glasgow is was quite obvious that we would defend, what will we do on Lerkendal?

Midtsjø: - Well, we will have to concentrate on defence at home too but on the same time a bit more attacking minded. We need to stay a bit higher up the pitch, keep the ball for longer periods so they’ll have to run after the ball and tire more. It’ll be a lof structure and defensive work but on the same time we’ll be on the front foot and eager to create chances.

Reporter: What did you learn about the game last week?

Midtsjø: - (Laughs) That I got tired. It was hard work, but if we get the structure right we have good chances against them. They did not create a lot on us. They tried to get around us down the sides and get crosses in but not a lot happened. We know that we are good on the counter attacks. But as I said we’ll have to be better at keeping the ball more and convert the chances we get. We got some chances in Glasgow to score one or two goals.

Reporter: But there is no doubt that you and the team grew in confidence after the game last week?

Midtsjø: - No, of course. To play in front of 60,000 and feel that you are in the game, and Celtic is a good team as well, is something we take with us to Wednesday. We look forward to the game and playing for a packed stadium. The belief is strong within the team.

 

Thanks, will pass it on to the staff. How big is your stadium by the way?

 

Hehe. If they are interested I am sure they are able to play the interviews from the official RBK site. Size of the pitch is 105 x 68 meters. Capacity is 21500.
