League Cup Celtic 2 - 1 The Uglies

If no fitness concern this is exactly what to expect.

which is the correct line up. That midfield 3 wins the game on Sunday.

 

There SURELY can’t be a debate about mooy starting if ready? Ffs.

 

Mooy picks himself for this game, more experienced than Mat for big games.

 

Mooy all the way for me.

 

I think I’d start O’Riley personally.

Mooy probably deserves the start but I think O’Riley if he’s on it is better than Mooy and is much more mobile. Completely bang out if Mooy is fit tho. I’ll be happy with whoever Ange decides to start.

 

I’m sure Ange will know his team at this point.

I can’t decide if I’d go with O’Riley over Mooy and should Abada start over Maeda?

O’Riley gives you more off the ball I think. I think him, McGregor and Hatate are potentially more cohesive and mobile for this type of game. And that’s mega harsh on Mooy because he’s been a standout for us recently.

Maeda again has been a standout recently but Abada is such a goal threat and has proven to be clinical against the Huns.

Maeda is obviously an attacking player but if he starts, is it to help track back defensively?

I don’t think we should be worrying about their strengths and picking players to do hard yards going back the way. The 3-0 and 4-0 games we just went on the front foot from the first whistle and finished both games in quick fashion.

Abada and O’Riley were crucial in both of those games.

 

Mac Cann has said sevco will do the treble,,,,look out your windows peeps,,,,, there is a guy running up and down the street with a back to front jacket,,,,

 

No big fan of saying we are going to do this and that against them. Usually ends in disappointment tbh. This time we are purring, and the noise coming off them really does sound like they are * themselves tbh. Just can’t see them living with us, even after they have scored their penalty and our goal was called offside. Just hope we end with 11 players. Honestly after 30 minutes they won’t live with us.

 

I think the mistake we/Ange made at Ibrox was over thinking about what they will do or how they'll line up.

* that, pick our team based on what we will do, never mind who does more defensively or any of that. Go out and play our game and blow these * away.

I've said it for a while that I'm not very confident about this game, I don't know what it is about Hampden recently, the last few games I've been to at Hampden, the grass is chewed up to * and it hasn't been suited for a ball on the deck type game which obviously suits that lot.

That said, it's to be dry from now on, so the pitch should be in decent condition. That will make it harder for those * to wrestle and turn it into a rugby match.

 

Anyone know any good pubs in livi for watching the game? Ta

 

Sakala wants to "hurt" our players.

And they're "so much better" than us.

These * need drug tested. Not even jesting.

 

Us aussie know how to talk * but * me dead... that sakala * is at a different level. He has insisted the filth are the best team in Scotland ... what a * stupid clown

 

I think that the ref and his assistants plus VAR * are going to try and fix the match and it will go to penalties

 

I think I'd go with O'Riley too. Will still be very happy to see Mooy in the XI come 2pm on Sunday though.

 

When was the last time Hampden was re-surfaced with new turf ?

 

She's turned the weans against is.

 

2016 I think, I don't think SFA have done it since they bought it

 

I hope he has a * stinker of a game, breaks his leg and gets interviewed after they lose. Can't wait to hear what he has to say after that

 

Tried to find out the actual date it was last re-surfaced and couldn't find anything.

McGregor came out yesterday and commented on the pitch, said he's relieved at the condition of it, plus it's not to rain all weekend.

That's a good sign I think. When I heard the draw I just imagined it pishing of rain all week, muddy puddly horrible chewed up pitch, those horrible * loving the fact that it wouldn't be a proper football game.

I feel better now that the conditions are ideal and we can play our style of football. Only major thing is the officiating.
