[Matchday] FC Salzburg v Celtic EL-Thurs 4th October 2018 Kick Off 17:55, Result... 3-1

Short article here about Salzburg, they've won all their league games this season and have just come off the back of a 6-0 cup win and 4-1 league win. No mugs.

Not too confident, especially if Benkovic is still oot.

 

Just need to look at who they beat in Europe last season..

 

I remember Man City playing us having won every game in the EPL that year,that game never went as they expected.

 

Yeah they're good in this competition. Were unlucky against Marseille as well.

 

Ah ok well * haha need to be at our sharpest then if hendry plays we lose simple as thay the lad isnt celtic quality at the moment anyway surely to * benko is fit he only felt a twinge and what is the deal with jozo he got injured jumping? Our centre backs are big jessies man still confident though

 

Yes mate love it howd that for optimism on yersel lad shouldnt fear anyone in the EL is my personal stance this should be our level we compete at tbh

 

Would be over the moon with a point..

 

I'll be happy just to see us play well tbh regardless of the result. Make a good go of it.

 

True enough but we were at home that day.

 

Totally agree with you there. Given their form a point would be fantastic result in this game. We did get a 2-2 draw the last time we were over there so who knows. But they then came to Celtic park and beat us 2-1. We are definitely up against it in this one no doubt about it.

 

I expect to lose this, to be honest.

Would be shocked but delighted if we get a point.

Will need new knickers if we get a win.

 

Set out to play for the win, that's just stating the obvious.

But if we can get a draw there that would still leave us in such a strong place to qualify.

 

We need to find someway to get an outball. We don't have the height, even a midfielder that could do a Fellaini role. Is it better to sit in with the wingers ready to motor behind the fullbacks. Agree with those above, would be delighted with a point. A pumping could really destabilise us.

 

If Benkovic is out, we are so thin on options at the back.

Back 4 without Benkovic:

Gamboa Lustig Boyata Tierney

Back 5 without Benkovic:

Gamboa Lustig Boyata Hendry Tierney

 

Pride set aside...I would guess Salzburg 3 - 0 Celtic

Hope I'm wrong

 

Bain
Gamboa Boyata Tierney Izaguirre
Forrest Mulumbu Brown McGregor Morgan

Gordon
Lustig
Hendry
Ntcham
Rogić
Sinclair
Griffiths

 

Is there no chance of Ajer or Benković being fit for this?

 

Enjoy, hope you're lucky for us
