Would you risk Brown?

a simple question guys we play dinamo on wednesday! so would you risk playing brown who is clearly no where near fit enough yet or would you gamble and play the man?

 

aye i would risk him, he seems to keep himself fit anyway and i think he should come in for donati imo

 

aye, i would mate, we could be doing with his drive on Wednesday.

 

i dunno it's a tricky one but i think i would leave him on the bench and then bring him on around 60-70 minutes played when they tire and he can be an impact sub i'm unsure if he's worth the risk as the start of the league at this moment for me is more important and we need brown for that

 

i would we really need brown for this game

 

gamble him

 

Maybe. But it would be very risky.

 

a 70% fit browns better than a full fit donati aye i would start him

 

He is going to be there that im certain of but does he start i dunno maybe last 35 mins depending on how things are going ,he seemed to be fit enough yesterday and lasted an hour .

 

I'm not a huge admirer of his, but he had a good game against Sunderland I thought.

Clearly not 100% match fit, but 100% match fitness really only comes from playing matches.

Moscow are fit and well-drilled, so I reckon the main thing is to unsettle them early with an unpredictable element. I'd play Brown from the start, wind him up and let him go. Then reappraise at half-time.

 

I know what your saying about winding them up and Brown is the guy to do it ,but yesterday he was easily wound up and i hope he can manage to keep his cool on wednesday ,10 players wont get celtic through its hard enough the now .
Im just saying this because he is not 100% and might be a bit of the pace and that can frustrate players then late tackles occur and so on.

 

I would play him without a seconds hesitation. We lacked any midfield presence in the box in the first leg and need somone to make the driving runs that only he can. If hes knackered at half time then we can always sub him, but I'd definitely play him from the start, it will unsettle them and just let him run till he cant anymore

 

I would risk him. It's a * important match, one of our most important matches in season (so early in the season, I know) and I think we should give our best in Moscow.

 

Yeah for the simple reason we are going to need someone driving forward from the centre of midfield at times as we try to score, and I cant see Donati or n'geumo doing that too much.

 

I think we need to risk him.

 

i would play him in a 5 man midfield

 

No, not keen on him as a player, good drive about him but he doesn't have a football brain add to that his temperment and I feel he is too much of a liability, by the way Dinamo play today in a league match.

 

its brown hel be needed in game like this when we need to take it too the opponent. Hes always up for it

 

agree with both of you there

 

I agree, he needs to start. He has shown more drive to get into the box in 1 hour against Sunderland than the rest of the midfield during pre-season or against Moscow.
