Celtic v Sturm Graz Thursday October 23rd kick off 8PM TNT Sports 2

McGregor to produce another masterclass of backwards passing and hiding behind his marker.

 

Say what you will about Cal, but I guarantee you that without him we’d be even worse than we currently are. He’s still a leader, even if he’s coming to the end.

 

Agreed but I think it'll probably be nygren on the right and engels in his position.

 

I'd have started four from that bench

 

Never heard about that ?

 

Brendan attempting to find the "solutions"

 

AJ and Engels starting \o/

 

How can we be better with a guy who's legs have gone and who also is completely allergic to progressing the ball forward more than two times a match?

A player with no physicality, no aerial presence, no defensive attributes, no pace, energy, tenacity, he's everything you don't want in a modern day No.6

See Rodri and Declan Rice as prime examples of what you want your No.6 to be

 

And no Yang or Forrest at RW with Maeda injured.

 

Very happy with that team selection!

 

Tierney again, liability.

 

Saracchi should have started!! Engels starting is fine, but not Nygren. Would have tried Balikwisha left, Tounekti right.

 

Looks a bit like more of the same from Rodgers in terms of the shape and approach of the team.

 

You on the glue?

 

So he's stuck wi a 4-3-3... he's asking for trouble here.

 

I said Tierney shouldn’t play but my * why does Hatate get a game. Empty jersey week on week.

 

In fairness, McGregor was never a #6 - that one is on our ‘elite manager’. Regardless, my point was speaking more to the fact that we’ve very few leaders in our team and without Cal I think we’d be ever more rudderless than we’ve been lately. If we had the players to replace him, then yeah, fine, but clearly we don’t.

 

Very surprised that KT and Reo are starting again.


Have a feeling, based on * all, that we might get something though.

 

Apparently from a kid who plays in the 2nd string he was telling his dad and been passed on ??? Dunno if true or not
