Atletico Madrid v Celtic, September 15th

If you are looking for game changers you cant leave commons out.

 

el kaddouri is cup tied, sadly.

this is my latest XI for thursday after the recent injuries...


------------------forster----------
m.wilson--k.wilson--mulgrew--matthews
-----------kayal------ledley------------
forrest-----------ki--------------mccourt
-------------hooper/sammy-----------------

 

Hooper up front, we dont need sammy there, look at what wee Skippy used to do against teams with being small and strong, Hooper can do the same.

 

Forster
Wilson Wilson Rogne Mulgrew
Kayal--Ledley
--Forrest-------Ki-------Commons
Hooper

​

If Rogne's no fit then Mulgrew CB & Matthews LB

Intae them Celtic!

 

Im streaming my games from my computer, but i have a HDMI cable connected to my 50" LCD, works fantastic! if you dont have a lcd or plasma you could buy a VGA(?) cable for not to much.. only thing that sucks is when the stream freezes and i have to go and change stream :C

 

--------------Forster--------------
Matthews--Wilson--Loovens--Wilson
--------Wanyama--Kayal-----------
Forrest------Samaras-----Commons
------------Bangura---------------

 

Brown,Cha,Stokes,M.Wilson and El Kad all out?

.Foster
Mathews...Rogne...K.Wilson...Mulgrew

Forrest.....Kayal......Ki.......Ledley

.Bangura

.Hooper

 

I would love that formation tbh, not sure about rogne though since he have not played for a long time

 

i like the look of that team but take sammy out and loovens,hes not played alot this season,same way sammy,this is a massive game,Charlie mulgrew cant half take a free-kick so he'd be dangerous if we were 25 to 30yrds out so i feel he'll defo start.

ki has too play to,i'm sure he'll do alot better than he did in sion easy,remember we were down to ten men at the time of ki's mistake.

if we manage to get a draw that would be awesome,it also would be great to score first in a away game in europe and then we'd see what madrid would do cause bangura or hooper would defo take there chances if madrid left spaces at the back,i'm just glad we've got europeane football this season and the huns havent.

it would be great to go to ipox with a awesome win or draw under our belts anyway we are there so lets just enjoy it bhoys and ghirls and the sun is barry over here in spain:icon_mrgreen:

A.Madrid 1 celtic 2
Ki,Bangura the hero!!

 

My prediction - Metrobhoy will blame Stokes; despite not being in Madrid.

 

With Brown, Stokes, Mark Wilson & El Kaddouri out i think lenny will play 4-5-1 woth two out and out wingers and three in middle jus too hold. Also think loovens will be the one that takes over from el kaddouri and mulgrew back out to left back.

samaras

can see samaras starting up front for his height and pace. we all want a more aggresive team with the likes of loovens and sammy out but lennon rates them so i think they will be the ones heel put trust in. Lets just hope this is the 1 in 10 games samaras decide to show up

 

If Loovens starts tomorrow night Lenny needs his head checked...

 

Based on performances this season i would easily start Loovens over Maj.

 

i dont agree mate ,loovens has done nothing to prove he is any better this season than any other, maj was part of a team that lost the league by 1 point and when he came in steadied the defense that was shaky to say the least, he was at fault for sion and st johnstone as were the rest because we lost our shape pushing to many forward to get a win or get back into the game .

 

I would not start Maj, no matter what.

 

Not a big fan of Maj, but I would rather have him over Loovens anyday...

 

Loovens looked solid beside K.Wilson at the start of the season.

 

Maj is suspended

 

Good. Still finding it difficult to trust him in the starting line up.
