Celtic v Arsenal Official TalkCeltic Match Thread

Let's not get into a childish conversation. The threat to Celtic are those blue lot, I wouldn't say Dundee or anyone else would challenge you for the league. Whereas we have three big teams.

 

I would argue that and say that the atmosphere did affect you as you didn't score a goal from open play - 1 deflection and an OG.

You did look shaky to begin with so I reckon the crowd did get to you just a pity as Celtic typically do conceded * goals.

Bet you wish you had a home atmosphere like us eh?

 

Dirty Harry, sending insulting private message won't do you any good in the long run.

 

(unless i was 2 drunk and imagined it..) was it not the Barca match (again a good while ago granted) passed the ball straight to the striker to score... ( there has been more) i have seen him have some surprisingly good performances, however i feel he is not the best CB we have , we do need a stronger central defence to progress(at least 2). Every one has their own opinion, every one sees the match from their own angles, wether you are just a spectator, a player or a coach, we all see things and pick up on things that the next man misses.

 

I thought we played very well in the first half, we were quick to the ball and got stuck in. It was always going to be a tall order to get anything from a side which includes Arshavin, Van, and Fagregas. But to lose the first goal in the manner we did was sick. If it had of been us that got are noses in front first it would have been a totally different game. Unlucky but we are definitively lacking in cutting edge. One are 2 more players need to be sold in order to buy a Naka type player, someone who can make a defence splitting pass. The team lacks technically.

 

It's ok mate. I'm not here to start argument's, just want share my views.

 

Aside from the booing when we had the ball yes.

 

Actually check your stats you's didn't DOMINATE us possession wise, you just made use of your possession more.

 

good post mate

 

Very unlucky tonight celtic, thought we played well in the first half didnt give them any chances on goal that i can remember of. got in their faces really well and tried our best not to let them play around with it, it was a good effort. Thought McGeady was really good, he kept the ball well for us and tried his best to makes things happen, Loovens also has to be praised also, thought he had a good game. It was a very unlucky night for celtic

p.s. Fabregas is a diving b*****d

 

Not surprised mate!
Disappointed in individuals on the park, don't mind losing if everyone put in a shift, however that's not what happened, granted 2 cheap goals, 2 more than we have though...!

 

Battle of Britian my *. One english player on the pitch and he played for Celtic.
We were very unlucky. 2 jammy goals and we might well have had a penalty! the luck just wasnt with us tonight.
And barry robson I was one of the people singing Donatis praises at the weekend because he had a great game against aberdeen. and I dont think he played the worst 2nite, he gave silly posession away at times but he played a solid defensive game!

 

Talk about over exaggerations lad's ok were all disapointed but at the end of the day we were very unlucky against a world class team!

 

Ive been waiting for someone to come out with the Arsenal didn't even come out of first gear and if they wanted to they could have stepped up a gear * they * only won the game because of 2 bad goals I was not impressed with the so called huge english team they call Arsenal, I for one would love to pit our wits against all the other so called big english sides every week . Everyone knows its our lack of money and the pish league that were forced to play in every week, give us a couple of years down there and with us getting the same kind of money they get we would be able to get the kind of players that they have and we would be up there for a champions league spot every season maybe not winning the league but we would be up there in the 4th or 3rd spot thats for sure.

 

I'm disapointed we didn't do better but in all honesty it was no more than I expected..........you can't make a silk purse out of a sows ear

 

As much as i would love to say your right, its a lot of hearsay as to wether that would happen.

 

Near enough said that quote to my mate. Are most valued player is 8 mill in valuation theres would be 35-40

 

I get it about the money thing but if you look at it another way.....the SPL has never really been cash rich yet the likes of celtic was still able to hold their own at European level. We've beaten bigger and better teams at Celtic Park so I guess it says a lot more about the current team than any money issues.

5) Boruc did not have a save
6) Almunia did not have a save
7) I have always hated arsenal almost as much as the huns and Man U
8) We need a STRIKER
9) We need a QUALITY ATTACKING CENTRAL MIDFIELDER
10) Sell Scott Brown for as much as we can get 10 million plus (most over rated player i have ever seen)

what parts are exaggerated ?

 

First half every player was great, except that rank rotten samaras.

Second half brown wasn't so good, caldwell unlucky at the goal, skippy and fortune did little to change the game, nor did mccourt but what's surprising about that?

Overall feel we were a bit unlucky, ref and linesman certainly didn't help us either, but they were a better class team that got lucky with 2 cheap goals.
