Celtic v Maribor - Official Match Thread (UCL qualifier, 20th Aug, 19:45 SS5)

Gordon may command his box but he doesn't with his goal

 

He whips in decent balls from corners and thats what we're going to need to take advantage of!

 

Yeah we are playing well but they are no mugs. If we can get another goal I'd feel much better about this.

 

Decent performance so far. A bit frustrating that we aren't ahead with a couple of those efforts we had but just need to keep it up.

 

Good first half, very unlucky not to be winning. They don't look as good as Legia.

 

doon the pub way paul the tim.

 

this could be a game for commons, given the amount of time were getting on the ball.

 

Didn't realise cheers

 

Sneak in and * on them. They won't be able to tell.

 

no one is there to connect the play. mulgrew can only hit long balls. need someone in that hole. perhaps we're being deliberately cautious but now maribor starting to press the back line and since then we've created nothing.

 

Go back, then you will see that's not true :bbpd:

And why would I hate myself?

 

i was on holiday sat and have not seen the game, but denayer is trying to win balls he doesnt need to win, and looks as if hes easy to get in behind, only young so hopefully its just nerves, kayal has played well, and looks back to the busy player he was before he got injured, decent half

 

Fairly bizarre first half, we have had possession for long period, had far more shots, chances and corners etc but we still looks exposed when they try simple long balls into the channel.

We could easily be 3-1 up here.

Freaking me out that they are sitting back so much though. I mean what the *?

 

Izzy is scaring me, gets far too high up the pitch.

 

Commons on for Berger , would pose a bigger threat now goin forward ,

 

A blame Denayer for the goal he showed of been goal side. Caught out!

 

I think we look very poor. We are just passing it between Kayal, Mulgrew, VVD, Denayer and Lustig the whole time.

There is a huge gap between defence and attack, nobody coming deep for the ball and not enough movement up front.

Defence is shaky as * for me too. 1 pass and run and we look exposed. Very happy with 1-1 at the moment.

 

We will win this.

 

Look decent on the ball going forward as we have loads of time on the ball but the defending still leaves much to be desired.

 

Get stokes off for pukki
