Celtic 1 - 0 Motherwell

I think we will to just meaning the fear of dropping points. Felt physically sick in the last couple of home games last 20 mins. For so long it was always we will win the league anyway in the end. Now it feels like any dropped points and it curtains!…minus last year when we had already given up!

 

That's how it will be all season..

It isn't a given that mob will win at Tynecastle. They drop point's then it's a big incentive..

We just have to keep winning our own game's though. No excuses..

 

Easily.

Brooks is the closest thing at the club to Kyogo. Vata isn’t a striker.

 

Either start Vata or play Ababa up front

 

This seems lost on a lot people I think.

 

I reckon will win this one 3 -0 on hamstring… I mean goals

 

Hart
Juranovic CCV Starfelt Scales/Taylor
Bitton Mcgregor
Rogic
Forrest Abada Johnston

Or, if Forrest is out:

Johnston Abada Montgomery
​

Would like to see Scales start, but not too fussed if Taylor gets the nod. We should still have enough to win this without Jota and Kyogo. Hopefully we then have at least one of them back for the cup final. Though it's more important that they're back for the upcoming league games.

 

Hart

Juranovic
CCV
Starfelt
Taylor

McGregor
Rogic
Turnbull

Forrest
Abada
Johnston


If forrest is out I'd consider McGregor on the left tbh

 

A win is all that counts, doesn't matter whether it's 1-0 or 7-6, doesn't matter whether we're brilliant or Rafael Scheidt, we simply can't afford to drop points before sevco do otherwise it'll be game over.

 

Hopefully they loose so there's less pressure

 

We had it a tad easy for too long! Its hard to accept! I love it though, buzzing/nervous for every game!

 

Given the injury list, this is what I would go with as well.
I´m looking forward to see more of Scales, and McCarthy as well.
The fact there is no striker in the team is obviously not ideal,
but the above line-up should have more than enough in them to see off Motherwell at home.

 

is forrest def out?
abada up top is scary, too weak and not good clinically.

Did rogic every play up in the false 9 in the past?

1. Where is giakoumakis - all strange about his injury and time frame for coming back
2. I see Paddy Roberts is back on a free - always liked him, he fitted into the kit well and id take him back what is the risk
3. Ajeti is too soft he needs shifted on.
4. Watched dembele for lyon - my word he is going backwards - no where near a 50 million pound player these days
5. Eddie is lost in the palace team - bad move
6. MJ - what was the chance last night - run through and score - terrible decision maker, i think he is 22 so not exactly immature or raw in the team, he needs to step up in the next 2 games. very frustrating to watch.

Id would go with rogic up top, abada on the wing, mj on the left

mc gregor, turnbull and bitton in the middle? mc carthy looked goosed to the end of the game hopefully the 4 year contract is on a year to year rolling basis.

Get an early goal on sunday is vital settle nerves.

Get the magic sponge out and get players back pronto they players are wrecked and the sooner a break comes the better.

Hopefully hearts can take some points on sunday it would be a great lift.

Next weekend is miles away so many things can happen, even if we get a half from kyogo next week, all depends on the strain, strain 1, 2 or 3 etc.

Moffat into the subs bench, henderson i would bring on sunday if winning he creates things

 

is griffiths being recalled??!! i was joking about this last night

 

the flipside never get any injuries bar jack.
strange - even their european luck in groups stages the last 4 years has been amazing.

 

abada up top against 2 x physical defenders - you may as well play a ball boy.

Rogic up top with turnbull tight behind making thru runs like last week.

MJ and Abada on the wings feeding balls across and cut backs.

work on set pieces they could be vital this weekend

and keep men on the post!

enough to win at the weekend and see who is available next sunday

 

bitton for mc carthy - mc carthy looked snookered the last 15 mins like he was towing along his christmas trolly

 

I know when we all see the team sheet on the weekend we’ll all be thinking, “that bench is brutal!”

Still should have enough though.
