League Cup Celtic 2 - 1 The Uglies

We can deal with that too. We have a Canadian that's handy, Hart does not back off, Ralston will sort them out, and CCV will look them in the eye and make them blink. They are on neutral territory as well, bunch of shaven headed mutants !

 

They didn't do that at Ibrox when the onus was on them to win.

They played 2 defensive midfielders and tried to make it as compact as possible so as to prevent us from playing while hitting route one long balls up to Sakala and Kent.

I expect more of the same on Sunday.

 

major difference is that Taylor will be in instead of JJ and Johnstone now knows Kent’s only two tricks.

 

He’s since brought in midfielders to do it and that’s how they approached the second half. Guaranteed they will.

 

Annihilate the *.

 

My guess too. They will come at us aggressively from word go. I reckon they will go with Raskin, Cantwell and Kamara in midfield.

They were just feeling us out at Ibrox since it was Beale's first Derby game in charge by himself against Ange.
They will have taken soundings of us from that game, and base their game plan I think on the basis that they were in control of the game in the second half.

Our job will be to have a game plan that counteracts that approach and disrupts their movement, especially off the ball.

 

You can be damned sure our game plan will be "business as usual", with no adaption unless someone is sent off/injured. Ange will believe (correctly) that we're the best in the league, our style is working (about 3 scored and less than 1 conceded per match) and that we can hurt them.

For their part, I'd imagine they'll come out all guns blazing at start of each half and try to catch us cold. They'll be as physical as the refs allow, and will get downright dirty if not pulled in (very likely). If they get in front, or a man up, they'll push hard for about 20mins to see if we concede superiority to them and if not they'll shut up shop and defend deep. If they take the lead in the 2nd half they'll be * hard to get level with. If we score early they could collapse.

In short, most comes down to how we play on the day. I'd fancy us to win 2-0, or one of us by a single goal. Extra time is likely.

 

I'll be honest, I thought we were garbage at Ibrox.To start with Forrest,and bench Abada, GG and Jota was totally unfuckinbelievable from Ange, virus or no virus.

They were all over us in the second half after Hart's blunder and over run our midfield easily which just collapsed.

We were just two minutes away from defeat,and it took the introduction of GG to save the game and create the opening for Kyogo.

I am not buying this line we just have to turn up and everything will be fine.

They have players that can hurt us too, two different midfielders in Raskin and Cantwell with something to prove, so we need a new game plan that disrupts theirs, because our " business as usual " plan failed the last time, and we got lucky.

 

* bless the ignore function on here ^

 

we were cruising at ibrox unitll hart * about gave them a lift, juranovic decided to have his worst ever performance and the decison to play forrest wasnt a good one and it still took shameless cheating to get sevco a draw in a game they needed a win. im pretty confident if the game isnt stitched up by the masons we will hammer them

 

I firmly believe that if we show up in full strength, and play to our potential it'd take "escape to victory" level cheating to deny us. I'm not denying that they can get through us and score, but I just can't see them keeping us out if we're in full flight, without cheating.

 

we are far too strong in every department ,id love to see the pace of maeda on the right v barasic he would destroy him

 

They looked the better team 2nd half cos we allowed them be. We were in complete control until Taylor went off. Having a right footed player at left back completely left us unbalanced as we seen JJ having a stinker. Hart making a mistake, Forrest starting instead of Jota and we never had anyone physical to play it long to which limits the danger we could pose up front which gave rangers the confidence to push forward knowing fine well we were never gonny play it long. Not to mention they had the home advantage all that and they still couldn't beat us. We will win (if we turn up) nothing about them scares me in the slightest other than Sakala's pace against Starfelt but other than that we are far superior. They do of course have a punchers chance in a one off game like any other team.

 

They can try but they're not on our level at pressing. They're not fit enough either we can do it for longer periods. For all their fans love to say they're a "better footballing team" they sure do love a long hoof up the pitch to their attackers. No where near our ability

 

It's a tragic thing to say, but Kent and Sakala are the "danger men".

Sakala has * all about him with the exception of his pace, and the NY game showed how exposed we were to that.

Kent is a conundrum.

Back off and give him space, he lets fly or finds a link up pass. Get too close and he falls over winning the foul via mason with a sash. He's a step over pony, but in the circumstances, we need find a way cut him off from the game.

Their midfield is a joke, but those two need * isolated and dealt with from the first whistle.

We'll see a different game with Taylor in a full 90. And with Jota and Maeda, we should tear them to bits.

SHOULD.

Whether we do depends on umpteen * things on the day, one of which is the League of Extraordinary Orangemen they've assembled to officiate.

 

Ralston will not be playing

 

Anyone that thinks we just need to show up in a final against this mob are aff their head. I have us as favs but just...

It's a derby and a final and we very rarely run over them outside of Celtic park.. it's one of their biggest chances of silverware this season so I expect they will be kicking us up and down the pitch with little protection from the * in black .

Really looking forward to this and I think it will be a cracker but make no mistake this will be blood and guts...

Never underestimate your enemy and especially this bunch of rancid hun scum

 

Got the Monday off work so I'm gonna be sinking them down if we win.

Probably do the same if we don't tbf but that's what Sundays are for..

Mon us!!!!!

 

It will be a tough game and could go either way.
They have been going ok. If you think otherwise you are deluded.
Ange will have it in the bag 2-0

 

I think we will bash them. Maeda will you with tavernier. Only player in the team that will give me a bit of fear in a game against them would be starfelt as sometimes he’s a bombscare with distribution etc while teams press high
