Champions League Celtic v Kairat Almaty Wednesday August 20th kick off 8PM TNT Sports 1

Shockingly bad defence?

3 of this back 4 are the best we’ve had in ages.

 

Only real worry over the 2 legs is the possibility of the team's plane getting shot down by Russia

 

Defence and midfield are not worries at all. Our toothlessness & lack of options up front is my only concern.

 

Guaranteed anything 2-0 or under means trouble. Expectations are high as fans at the end of their tether with the board.

 

Please, enlighten us of our terrible defence? Bar Scales its comfortably our strongest area.

 

Laphroig is my favorite. Drink for a real man that

 

Not sure why people are expecting us to absolutely smash them, games have been tight in general with previous opposition from Kazakhstan..

I reckon 3-1

1-1

 

Smashed Astana 5-0 at home tbf.

 

Take the win and at least look positive.

Don't know much about this lot, their route doesn't seem too impressive either, Bratislava we know ourselves the level.
But we haven't been great either and as much as Rodgers, rightly, is trying to focus the players and shut out the noise around the club, it is there.

Focus, play a decent game, get the win and be happy to see the squad continue the upwards trajectory in our play.

And we still managed to make it nervy

 

I Been doing nervous farts this morning. It all depends on who shows up though by my reckoning. A good performance from each individual, make sure we are helping each other out and playing as a team. If we show a complete solid performance then our opponents must match that which will be very difficult for them.
We must practically end this tie at home in my opinion else the nerves will be shattered

 

We've got to make sure the game doesn't pass us by. We've got to be ruthless and professional in front of goal. We can't waste 20 minutes settling into the game, then if we score enjoy it for 20 minutes.

I feel like we'll be on it from the first minute but we really need to take our chances when they come.

 

* sake. Its taken us 6 years to replace tierney let alone a team.

 

We're actually alot better team than we give credit for.

Yes we are missing a couple but we've also got a couple stronger added. This team is missing khun from the starting 11 that was a minute away from beating Bayern. Weve technically strenghtned left back and the middle since. This team really shouldn't be able to live with us.

Meada will still score.
Idah will still...
Yang tore Bayern a new *..


All in, 5-0 seems reasonable.

1-0 over 2 legs back to the wall defending will also do

 

6-0 nothing less.

 

Celtic fan base in shambles

 

If vardy was here id expect 6. Gotta be reasonable without the young whippet.

 

Same for me although I wouldn't be against Yang starting, he's due a performance again and Forrest coming on for 30 minutes would be ideal the way he came on one of the first games and just went at the opposition relentlessly.

Forrest starting pacing himself to last 70 minutes or that isn't ideal we will get much more out of him knowing he's only on for half an hour.
