Celtic v Kilmarnock - SPFL - 29/1/14 (7:45 PM..not on tv)

Celtic will host Killie in a midweek evening game. Kilmarnock have had a wretched campaign, so far, sitting on a mere 25 points (second bottom side, Partick, have 21 by comparison). Hopefully our lads can raise their game on the night and give them a right doing. :icon_mrgreen:

I'd like to see:

Forster

Ambrose/AM, VVD, Mulgrew, Izaguirre

Forrest, Biton, Johansen, Ledley, Boerrigter/KC

Balde

Plenty of width and skill in midfield. Mon the Hoops!

At home to Killie should be a routine victory, so hopefully Lennon takes the opportunity to make 1 or 2 changes. Pukki deserves a start after his performance against Hibs and is looking confident after the trip to Turkey. Would like to see Derk get another run out too and wouldn't mind seeing Johansen get his first start. We should have plenty of possession at home and not be under too much pressure so would be the ideal chance for him to show what he can do.

 

Pukki deserves a game he looked sharp yesterday when he came on and he scored a good confidence boosting goal as well

5-0 to the hoops

Really want to see that midfield trio. Some amount of potential there!

Would like to see that will we * tho, 3-0 celtic

 

I've been choking to see three at the back with Mulgrew, Ambrose and Van Dijk. With one having a licence to go forward and join in with the other two covering when they do.

Johansen I want to see and it allows our midfielders to push right up the pitch. Would completely run over the top of them, keep a high line and see Kris Boyd trying to win a foot race with Van Dijk or Ambrose

Aye, I want to see that three together in defence, as well. Best if Ambrose plays RB, plus I am curious to see how VVD fares next to Charlie (who is best at CD, in my opinion). Efe is excellent for Nigeria in that position, besides. We'd hardly be putting him out of his element.

Otherwise, we'd need to play a 3-5-2, but we don't really have the wingers for it, unless you played Matthews and Izzy on the wings.

 

Izzy on the wing and Broony on the other will do for me, Broony never stops working and I enjoy the games he has licence to go forward.

 

Duno if we'll see Biton after being hooked at half time yesterday. Could be a good opportunity to give Liam Henderson a start and see what he can do. Pukki is a stick on to start and I reckon he'll get a goal or 2 as well.

Another 4-0 I think/hope

Can Jackson Irvine play against us? I'd love him to score a hat trick and force Lennon into giving him 17 minutes in 4 games next season.

 

Mulgrew in for Biton, maybe, but I like his vision (not to say Charlie doesn't offer that).

 

Nah, he can't unfortunately. :smiley-laughing002:

 

Or maybe something similar to the line-up against Hearts and Motherwell.

Range of passing in that side would be phenomenal.

What I'd like to see and getting Johansen on for a good half hour as well.

 

Kilmarnock always give us acres of space. Expect 6 if we're in the mood.

 

Excited for this, going down for the game after my last exam as a wee treat. Killie generally play an open game and allow the opposition to play too.

I would like to see a couple of changes from yesterday, Samaras out for Balde. Possibly even a start for Johansen as i think this is the perfect kind of game for him to get his debut.

 

'Mon Cellic!

We all know we score less at home than away as all teams sit with 11 men behind the ball at Parkhead as opposed to wanting to make something happen in front of their own fans, especially with the tv crews filming.

But, we're in line for a big home victory and you never know, with the transfer window closing soon, our strikers might be shiteing themselves with the prospect of being knocked further down the pecking order and may even bag a few. Pukki in particular.

I wouldn't be surprised to see a 5-0 on Wednesday.

Commons to score first? doubt it
