Atletico Madrid v Celtic, September 15th

play brown at DM over kayal?

 

I know we should all get behind our team but some peoples expectations are way off here... In all honesty we will be lucky if we come away only conceding 3 goals.

 

Probably not actually, id swap them

 

Like your thinking here mate the only thing I would change would be Kayal and Brown

 

Although this is pointless because Lennon won't drop Brown.

I would like us to play:

--------------Forster-----------------
Wilson--K.Wilson--Mulgrew--El Kadouri-
---------------Kayal------------------
------------Ki-------Ledley------------
Forrest----------------------Commons
----------------Hooper----------------


I would honestly bite the hand off a draw right now.

 

first time i've been on since before the decision, absolutely delighted we are back in! thanks uefa!

i dont see anything other than a madrid win, but at the very least theyll be very little/no pressure on the bhoys so hopefully we can get a respectable result; a draw would be sensational!

oh and to you lurking currant buns..............

GIRFUY!!!!!!!

:icon_mrgreen::bbpd:

 

Is el Kadourri eligible? And if so, do you think he is good ?

 

Wonder if the new LB is allowed to play.

Conflicting rumours.

Think we'll get raped, at least Madge is still banned - thank Ghod for small mercy's

 

As horribly pessimistic as this is, I would give the reserves a run out. To me it is almost certain we will lose and the rangers game a few days later is far more important. I think we have to get a result in the first old firm game and wouldnt want to see players injured or even tired after playing in Madrid.

I appreciate this may not be a popular opinion but it is honestly what I would like to see. Give the young boys a run out and lets see if they can do any better than what we are used to seeing away in Europe

 

i have also thought through this idea, at legnth too. in my mind if we play our strongest team it will be a gamble, end of. if we play the youths/reserves it could hinder us if were in any position to qualify due to goal difference as no doubt they will get humped.

what alternate team would you play?

 

i fear you will be dissapointed mate.

 

Forster
Wilson- Wilson- Rogne- Mulgrew
Kayal
Brown- Ki- Ledley------

Hooper​

Mon eh' Hoops!!

 

It would have to look something like this:


Zaluska
Cha, Toshney, Maj, Rogne, M Wilson
Forrest, Wanyama, McCourt
Rasmussen, Samaras

I think goal difference goes head to head first so unless we are equal with Madrid it wouldnt make a difference (may be wrong)

 

im going to be in holiday in spain at the the time can anyone tell me if getting tickets to this game will be hard,do you have to be a season ticket holder or that?

 

I agree mate, I think the first old firm is far more important than this to be honest and would hate to see one of our first teamers injured in what has to be said is probs going to be a defeat anyway.

 

Every game is a gamble with players ,Guys like Hooper ,Kayal ,Ledley etc joined Celtic to play in Europe but lets play the reserves because we play rangers in the next game ,does'nt work like that ,there paid to play in every game there available and if Lennon chooses a weakened team is he been fair on the support who will lynch him if he goes down that route ,Always play your strongest 11 no matter what ,* happens.

 

Also they should recover in 3 days

 

yeah fair enough, anyone else i would agree but away to the Huns for the first old firm is so important, especially while they are a bit down now we should kick them while they are down.

 

i hope im wrong but i think we will get pumped. we aint good enough at the back. our away record is brutal and with the players athletico has im expecting a good humping.

 

Celtic are down aswell mate and to play a weakened team against Madrid and possibly seeing a lot of goals going in against us wont do the players much good ,If Lennon does the right thing by his team and picks the team he plays most saturdays ,i do see a glimer of hope for Celtic out there ,,If he resorts to what he has been doing ,he will get what he has already received by other teams ,so why stick to that game plan when its blatantly obvious that Samaras playing up front as a lonesome striker is not acceptable and remember Lennon did this at home against Sion and got booed when Stokes was taken off .

I and many other Celtic fans would love to know the reason as to why Lennon does not put his trust in Stokes and Hooper who he plays every week in the League apart from the rangers games and Europe ,its criminal not to play those 2 together in these games.
