Champions League Feyenoord v Celtic Tuesday September 19th kick off 8PM TNT sports 1

Worried about our injuries. Having Phillips put would be a disaster. Another one.

I wonder if we'll ever have a fit defence to choose from ever again.

 

He'll start I'm sure of it..

Was moving fine in the training video stuck up earlier and has the experience at this level..

 

Expect us to go quite pragmatic tomorrow trying to hit on the break. I actually think it'll work. Not saying we'll win but I think tomorrow will be one of those cases where Rodgers proves a much more effective manager than Ange for a game of this kind.

 

I've got a weird kinda confidence for tomorrow Paddy..

Cant quite put my finger on it but I think we'll get something out of it..

Football doesn't pan out on paper but if you look at the areas of the pitch where we're stronger and weaker for this game

Up front they have no available striker and Kyogo is class. We've got them there..

They look to be considerably stronger on the wings..

They seem to play a midfield 2 kinda and Hatate, O'Riley and McGregor is a strong midfield that can win that battle..

They don't have their main keeper....so although Hart is aging/regressing, I'd still say we're stronger there..

They'll be comfortably stronger at centre half and left back you'd imagine..

Right back for both clubs looks like the strongest part of each defence..

Just thought I'd add some of that blabbering pish in to the bargain that shows we're maybe no as out of our depth for this as many seem to be suggesting....although we all know we should and could be stronger at the same time..

 

The word pragmatic has been thrown around here a few times and I think it’s right to be like that.If they get 60/70 % of possession against us and we get a point that would be * of a result imho. Not at full strength against a side that appears to be flying, I’d take it now.

 

Been flip flopping over this in my head for days now. Obviously our defence is a worry but that doesn't necessarily mean we'll crumble.

Am gonna go for a 2-2 draw. Don't think there's any chance we keep a clean sheet but equally we've got players who can hurt most teams. Especially Kyogo, you're always in with a shout if he's on it.

Would be a great start to the campaign.

 

I'm with you mate for some reason I fancy us tomorrow and can't put my finger on why. I know they're a top side and our away record is horrendous but something is telling me we're pulling it out the bag tomorrow.

Could see us soaking pressure and doing them a couple of times on the break. Rodgers has shown already he's comfortable doing that this time around and he's not stupid. I think he'll have us set up tight and with our midfield 3 and Kyogo up top we'll get chances, no doubt about it.

 

This. I think some of the expectations on here aren't realistic.

 

I have absolutely no confidence for tomorrows game. Just keep the score down and take them at Celtic park when we’re more settled.

 

Not confident I must say for tomorrows game. I just feel we are not ready for this level of game at all as a team. Hopefully we can at least put in a decent performance and be competitive.

 

I'm looking forward to it, nervous and excited pretty equally. Could see it going a number of ways just as with the group as a whole tbh.

 

It's the Champions league so its hard not to be excited but I just don't see how we get anything here especially with our abysmal away record in Europe.

Apart from a backs to the wall display against the scum and a decent second half against Dundee there's nothing to suggest we are ready for an away trip to a Pot 1 side and Dutch champions that seem to score for fun. My only hope is Dutch teams blow hot and cold.

This is where our abysmal summer transfer window will be exposed I'm afraid.

Other than that... CMON CELTIC

 

This game has come too early. We haven't been playing well enough domestically to step up to this level.

 

Don’t think they’re as good as some folk are making them out to be,we’ll create chances no doubt it’s just about taking them,time for Kyogo and Hatate to step up on the big stage.

 

Nervously excited for this one. Just don't get pumped and score a goal to gain some confidence/give ourselves a chance of a result and I'll be happy enough.

Get a win and it's party time

 

Whilst I'm not confident of a win, I'm confident that Brendan will adapt how we play to maximise our outcomes with the team we have. That's something we didn't do in Europe under Ange even though the team was stronger and more cohesive. Let's not kid ourselves, a draw in this game would be massive given it's first seed away.

 

Ye have little faith, footballs a strange game. I’ve got a good feeling about it. Fingers crossed

 

Cautiously optimistic. We are capable. Just want to see us perform well and not give away any stupid or back-to-back quickfire goals.

 

Hate to say this but think Feyenoord will win 2-1 or 2-0.
Hopefully I’m wrong and we destroy them
