Celtic v Elfsborg - CL Qualifier - Wednesday 31 July 19.45pm (NOT ON TV)

Let them. When Bangura is the best you have to offer, you don't really have all that much. They are not a good team.

 

Couple of pics of the boras arena

 

nice wee stadium

 

They'll have to come out and attack us, which will leave them more exposed. I'm quite confident the team will finish the job off.

They actually have to play football next week, more space for us.

 

tidy wee stadium would like to be in our support if we had been taking a few k to that

 

disagree....was a dinosaur system used in the 90s..relying on balls down the line or over the top.

 

Really? Completely agree with everything else you've said, but I thought Wilson was great last night and was probably our 3rd best player after Izzy and Sammy, dealt with everything they 'threw' at us (I use the term threw lightly, they rarely threatened all night) with ease. He was one of the main reasons they barely got a sniff in my opinion.

 

With nobody in the box or over the top to get the ball.

 

When is the final draw???

 

Been in an extremely bad mood since I missed the game due to someone else's idiocy.Would have like to see Stokes or another striker score but glad to get the win regardless.

 

Slow down. Let's get through the tie first :smiley-laughing002:

 

Kayal also had a terrible game but Commons, for me, was worse. Couldn't cross, decision making was awful and his passing - like everyone else's - was rubbish.

Stokes had a bad game because he was played upfront on his own. He isn't and never will be a target man. Stokes worked well with Hooper - we can't expect him to lead the line himself. He's not good at it.

Movement from the whole team was shocking. Forrest, as usual, didn't lift his head very often and his final ball was poor, but he did link up quite well with Lustig on the right hand side.

 

I've really went off Forrest....he's got worse with age.

 

No i don't mean the way we utilised it, i liked the shape and the width of the team. It looked to me like we set up like this....

Brown Kayal
Forrest Commons Samaras
Stokes

The problem for me was that some of the players didn't get involved enough. We tend to pass the ball and then * off somewhere. We don't have players moving about looking for space to give the bhoy with the ball enough options.

Our movement off the ball is pish. And Stokes just doesn't seem to suit that lone striker role.

 

I think the same could be said for a few players in the team, which is really worrying

 

Kieran is usually always spot on, and you nailed it there. I've put it down to lack of competitive game time - but i've never really been a massive fan of Stokes.

 

I thought commons was one of the best players on the park. Maybe people expect ineasta etc from our players
