Celtic V Motherwell match chat thread., threads merged

Guys, while we are on the topic of celtic v motherwell. Did anyone watch the celtic v cliftonville game on tuesday on setanta ireland. Why were them * advertising showing coverage of the celtic v motherwell game?

That got my hopes up big time, then i checked the listings and it wasnt listed . Anyone else see that?

 

im confident , 3-0 , mcgeady , zhi and skippy with the goals for me
its obv going to be a 4-4-2 with 2 strikers upfront or zhi playing just behind a striker

boruc
hinkel* caldwell mcmanus fox
maloney robson nguemo mcgeady
zhi
skippy

* - if hinkel aint fit then caddis rb

 

2-0 to the hoops! Zheng Zhi to get 2!

 

i think they will try to score 1 or 2 goals early,and then they will keep powers for the match against hamburg.

 

I'm looking forward to tomorrow's game after being forced to endure the international stuff last weekend.

Hopefully Scott Brown will look a bit fitter after having a bit of a rest and having his ankle looked at. Or hopefully Barry Robson will show signs of being fitter if it is him in the starting line-up.

I also hope we will see at least SOME signs that TM has been working with the centre-backs during the break to cut out the hideous mistakes.

Oh and hopefully there will be NO GOALS CONCEDED IN THE FIRST 10 MINUTES!!!!!!

If I had to predict a scoreline I would say.......Celtic 2 - 1 Motherwell.

 

so glad club football is back this week, think will be tough game but can only see a celtic win in this one so il go for 2-0. samaras & fox.

 

As you all know I live seconds away from Fir Park and obviously I have alot of mates who support motherwell and they really do believe they can take a draw from Celtic Park

But I'll say 3-1 to the bhoys

 

Also I'd keep Naylor in the side as I thought he done well in OF game

 

read Tm saying he doesn't think Hinkel and Fox will play but brown will be fit

 

Hinkel Caldwell Loovens Fox

McGeady Robson N'Guemo McGinn/McCourt

Maloney/Zhi

Fortune

Please no Broony for this match, he's had his turn.

 

has fortune got a chance to play?

Think we'll do better maybe, if he's back in the team

 

Boruc​

Wilson Caldwell McManus Naylor​

McGeady Nguemo Brown Maloney​

Zhi​

McDonald​

 

No he's started running again but that's it, probably another 1 to 2 weeks before he's back.

I gave who I'd like to see starting earlier so here's who I thin will actually start.

Boruc

Wilson
Caldwell
McManus
Naylor

Maloney
Brown
N'Guemo
McGeady

Zheng

McDonald/Samaras (can't make up my mind which one)

 

Yup my team only ive went with skippy up top!

 

Boruc

Hinkel
Fox
Caldwell
Mcmanus

N'Guemo
Zhi
Robson

Maloney
McGeady

Mcdonald

 

The Holy Goalie​

Wilson Caldwell McManus Naylor​

McCourt N'Guemo Robson Maloney​

Killen McDonald​

That would be my team. Unlikely to be Tony's though.​

 

Sorry I didn't relize there was a matchday Thread opened, I opened this on another thread but it was closed, so thought would just repost it on here

The Squad for the Motherwell Game:

Celtic (from): Boruc, Naylor, Caddis, Wilson, McManus, Brown, McGeady, Zheng, McCourt, N'Guemo, Samaras, McDonald, Maloney, Caldwell, Crosas, Zaluska, Forrest, Robson.

Team Line up:

1.Boruc

12.Wilson, 5.Caldwell, 4.McManus(c), 3.Naylor

46.McGeady, 8.S.Brown, 6.N'Guemo, 13.Maloney

7.McDonald, 9.Samaras

Subs: 24.Zaluska(GK), 17.Crosas, 19.Robson. 20.McCourt, 27.Zheng, 49.Forrest & 52.Caddis

Looks like we will proberly go with that the morra, because Glenn Loovens is suspended, Andy Hinkel & Danny Fox aren't fit for the weekend & Marc Antoine Fortune isn't fit yet either.

Im abit worried about our back line there, Motherwell have been pretty good this year, but spose we are strong from middle to front & have the likes of Zheng Zhi, McCourt & Robson to bring off the bench, but if we have to go with that on Thursday against Hamburg, then I think we may struggle, I know Loovens will be back for that game, but I just hope Hinkel & Fox will be back aswel.

How do you think we will fair in the game the morra?

 

Not good... was hoping fortuné, fox and hinkel would return

Hopefully they are fit for thursday then

Also think Caddis deserves a chance more than Wilson

 

I would like to see something different in our team try out some new palyers due to some have not been upto much, well here goes it also depends if they are fit?

borus

hinkel j.thompson caldwell fox if hinkel or fox are out caddis / naylor

mcgeady ngeumo zhi mccourt

samaras maloney

now i havent included mcdonald due to i dont think any of our striker's can partner with him and i think samaras has a huge amount to offer the the hole team unlike mcdonald and i think maloney will bring the best out of him.

i would also take out brown, due to he needs a 2 weeks wake up call and bring him back in with robson. I would also make him understand that he is the battler and robson is the attacker and a + plus side for us is that robson is a brilliant battler so hard guys in the mid and leave the silky stuff to the wings/strikers

 

lookin forward to seeing zz in the flesh and mc ginn if maloneys out expect 2-3 goal victory
