Celtic v FC Utrecht,Threads Merged.

Kayal isn't unproven really. He is in the hoops but he was having stand-out games for a team that got battered in the CL last season. But he stood out against some names.

 

Yeah see where your going with Zaluska but imo on wednesday night he wasn't helped at all by Loovens' dodgy pass backs. Loovens shouldn't be anywhere near the team.

Really like the look of Kayal.

Im all for Forrest playing. Cracking young player but Fortune will get the shout.

 

Hm I'm very curious now about this Cha, maybe we should put Dries Mertens at your LB this time

 

Would love Forrest to play. He's the boy !

This team hasnt played much together but our best performance was against Lyon in pre season I think so here:

Yeah i agree he looks a class act but he is unproven in the hoops so whether he will be chucked in at the deep end is debateable. Juarez was and he has been our best player so far. Maybe he will, maybe he won't.

 

I think that you could expect 5,000 Celtic fans - capacity permitting to come to Utrecht. We are also looking forward to very good game and I understand your stadium is a difficult place to get a result due to the atmosphere your supporters create.

 

Yep agree, Loovens is a bomb scare, wish Lennon would see loovens' experience counts for nothing when hes useless and cant bring the ball out from the back and cant defend.

 

A agree, he was a proven player at Haifa and done well, but this is different, he is unproven here, but maybe not so much in Uefa competitions- but he is when he is settling in to a new team etc..

Would liek to see him involved in some capacity

 

A think their ground is in the low 20 thousands for capacity and it was posted that we only have 1600 tickets.

That won't stop fans going to the city though as you say.

 

Thanks for your explanation about Fortune, I really appreciate it!

Im not gonna name the few Scottisch players I do know(I fear they're all from the Rangers) but we also need players from our academy and buy less foreign players than we always did, our squad is good for now, but we try to make it a little better each season and for now we are satisfied with the progress we made

 

Don't get me started on the guy. Pass backs without looking, no composure on the ball, can't pass into feet, can't execute the long diagonal he constantly tried and what experience? I hope to see him sold. He is dutch so maybe the Utrecht lot know him?

 

yep Loovens is ex Feyenoord, he has a Uefa cup winners medal from his time there

They wanted to buy him back last summer i think lol

 

Haha really? :O what happened to the guy? Maybe he was just warming the bench for the whole campaign.

 

What a great goal! He looks like a very strong back, Dries Mertens is about 1.70m and weighs a lot less, but his technic is excellent and like all little players his speed is formidable, Im very curious about this duels!

 

Yes, very good finish, 2 good goals - I worry about how our defence will stand up to you guys - too soon maby before they have gelled......

 

Weird things like that happen quite a bit in football. Djimi Traore has a Champions League winners medal, after all.

 

I think thats the case tbh

 

I don't know Glenn Loovens, only by name, he played for the youth of Feyenoord and maybe he played some in the main team?

Im watching the posted youtube videos now, and your defense is not that good, someone showed me the goal of Michel Bastos before(beautifull goal!) did you know he started in Holland, but Feyenoord thought he wasn't that good and sold him, mistake of the century I think
