    What team do you think GS will put out tonight? Will he play a 4-5-1 formation or a 4-4-2.

    I think he will play:

    4-5-1

    Boruc
    Wilson Caldwell McManus Naylor
    Nakamura Crosas Hartley Robson McGeady
    VoH


    I'd rather have samaras up front though!!:50:

    I would maybe even drop Naka and play with McGeady and Maloney on the wings! Naka's planning his departure back to Japan in January so we should start preparing for life without him and anyway, he's got a habit of going missing for 85mins in the big games!

    What i'd like to see:

    ..............boruc
    Caddis...Caldwell....Loovens...hinkel
    .................Crosas.....................
    ..Mcgeady...Hartley....Robson...Maloney
    ...................Samaras....


    What i think WGS will do:

    ..............Boruc
    Wilson....Caldwell.....Mick......Naylor
    Naka....Brown....Hartley...Robson....Maloney
    ..................Samaras

    With mcgeady comin on for naka in second half, then with ten minutes to go, the tie still deadlocked at 0-0, he'll make the decision to bring off hartley, and bring on Voh.

    4 minutes of added time are given. its looking like we earned a draw, well played, but wait, mcgeady is making a run down the wing, as the dying seconds of the match tick away, he skillfully places it on mcdonalds head, mcdonald heading it straight at goal, beating the keeper, but WAIT! NOOO! it hits the bar, it's all over! Oh! WAIT! ON THE REBOUND!! vennegoor of hesselink plays a skilful little 1-2 with maloney to beat the swarm of yellow that had him surrounded, and then fires the ball in at close range, and he is consumed by a flurry of green and white shirts. celtic have done it! They have beat villareal away!!!!

    My team:

    Caddis----Caldwell----Loovens-----Naylor
    -------Naka------Crosas----Hartley-------
    McGeady-------------------------Maloney
    ----------------Samaras---------------

    WGS:

    ------------------Boruc------------------
    Wilson----Caldwell------Mick-------Naylor
    -------Brown-----Crosas----Robson/Hartley
    Naka----------------------------Samaras
    ----------------J VoH---------------

    Tom Boyd said on huddle last night, he has it on good authority that Samaras will play on the left and JVoH as the lone striker. If you cast your minds back it's the same way they played the 2 of them against Feyenoord pre-season. I think he'll play Naka cos he * loves him and said yesterday Dalglish, Bryan Robson and naka are the 3 best individuals he's ever worked with. Think in Strachan's eyes back 4 picks itself too.

    I've got a feeling Nakamura and Maloney will be left out tonight if Robson makes it as we need someone able to deliver free-kicks and the team will be similar to the Feyenoord game.

    ----------------Boruc

    Wilson......Caldwel....McManus...Naylor

    ....................Hartley

    ........Brown.................Robson

    McGeady.......................Samaras

    ....................VoH

    Subs
    Brown
    Caddis
    Loovens
    Nakamura
    Crosas
    Maloney
    McDonald

    That's the team I think WGS will pick and the team I would pick as Caddis hasn't the experience yet to play instead of Wilson.

    4-5-1 for sure i think.

    I hope we don't go for lumping it from the back to the front missing the midfield though as we'll get nowhere and there would be no point playing Crosas and Hartley.

    I don't think it's going to matter what team we put out tonight. we are playing for a draw already. The team will be negative and will go into the game thinking they are going to get a hammering. Losing 10 goals in the SPL says it all. but some how people think we are going to go over there and get a draw, that beats me. If I was to look for a comparison it would be like livi coming to parkhead last week. that's the tall order we are talking about. Am i negative NO why ? because I would not go looking for a draw. When players who are used to running at defenders ever other week and are then told to do something different against a better opposition may i add. What do you expect. I'm not saying cavalier just keep pushing forward when at all possible.
