Scottish Cup St Mirren V Celtic Sunday February 11th Kick off 2PM Viaplay sports

If we turn up, we win. Just like every game in Scotland.

We haven't been turning up though.

For 95% of the season.

That's the worry.

 

Need to change the MF. Calmac is getting man marked, which is stifling our attack and Bernardo and MOR are to similar. We badly need Reo back.

If Iwata is fit, he starts, move Cal forward beside O'Riley.

Need a big improvement out wide as well. Be great if Kuhn could show something today.

Worryingly, for a possession/control based set up, how badly and quickly we lose momentum/grip of the game. Hibs and Abderdeen good examples of that.

Need a big improvement, get some momentum building for the last third of the season.

 

We need to get out of the * rut we are stuck in.

Now of course I say that as a clueless * who doesn't really know the first thing about managing a football team. So it's obviously * easier said then done.

But I'd love to see Rodgers go balls to the wall with a real agressive attacking style of play just to try something new and somewhat unpredictable... instruct the players to play with more instinct and take a few more risks with the forward passing.

 

Fingers crossed we can actually perform well today and get everyone believing again.

The huns are absolutely *. Struggled against Ayr.. was 1-0 and they should’ve been down to 10 with plenty left to play.

apologies I know this isn’t hun chat and this isn’t even a league game, but it’s time we started laying down a marker on those *.

 

Obviously got to win this first and foremost ! But, and I'm getting fed up saying this now...... We need a performance that gives us a lift, we need to see 90 minutes without us going stale middle to front, and experiencing moments of panic at the back. C'mon ta * Celtic, lets get this feckin show on the road now, get our act together and start the big push towards a League and Cup double !!

Excellent pre-match write up on the home page by the way for anyone who hasn't read it.

 

We need a win firstly, but we really need to put in a good performance. The players can't be seen to be rattled again today.

I know before a ball is kicked St Mirren will be right up for this game.

 

I can't wait to hear pre match about how we've not been creative enough and need to play at a higher tempo and increase the speed of the pass before sitting down to watch the same dross we've served up all season

 

Intensity physicality

 

Iwata finally back yaas. Hopefully Kyogo doesn’t get lost in the midfield. Interesting Abada & Holm dropped right out the squad.

 

I like it, I presume Kyogo playing in behind Idah.

 

Proper Charlie Nicholas vibes these days "Technically tactically wibbly wobbly"

 

Palma in the middle or kyogo in the 10? Wonder how We shape up

 

Glad, hes tried something different..

Good to see Iwata on the bench as well..

 

Think it will be Kyogo in the 10

 

Looks to me like:

Hart
Ralston Welsh Scales Bernie
McGregor O’Riley
Maeda Kyogo Palma
Idah

 

Palma in the middle possibly

Kyogo and daz on the wings



But * knows

 

Kelly getting the nod ahead of Holm aswell

 

"I'm sitting there thinking to myself ".

 

Kyogo in the 10!!! Yes, good strong team. Iwata back too, fantastic
