Celtic vs Braga.

Find it hard to believe anyone would start with either Mulgrew or Brown, as they have been rank rotten so far.

For me the questions are who to replace Mulgrew with (Misun, Wilson or Twardzik), who to play alongside Juarez (Crosas or Ki) and whether Samaras plays higher up in a 4-4-2, or in the Podolski role in a 4-5-1. Personally I think he's better rampaging forward, so I've gone for 4-5-1.

Also be tempted to bring on James Forrest for Maloney at HT.

 

Totally agree, even if Mcgeady wasn't going, he looked awful the other day so wouldn't have anywhere near the starting 11.

Personally I would just love to see Crosas in a more attacking role, he's got an eye for a pass and given the chance he can smack a good shot so with that type of ability I wouldn't mind that being changed to a 4-1-4-1 or a 4-1-3-2 with Ledley in a free role while Crosas plays through the middle in an advanced role while trying to pick out Hooper or Sammy making his runs

 

same team iam hoping for

was having a look at the odds for wednsday

juarez is 12/1 to score anytime an hooper or sammy hattirck is 40/1 aswell!

can't beleive people are still putting brown in a team he is pish

this would be my idea side


:zaluska: even tho he is pish

:cha: :rogne: :hooiveld: :mulgrew:


:crosas: :ledley:

:forrest: :hooper: :juarez:


:samaras:


give hooper time to help sammy out like in the lyon game and let juarez roam around getting forward with ledley and crosas playing the ball from back to front and then can bring the likes of maloney and mccourt on if we need them also young forrest he has to start he has been great, but i bet he is left on the bench and also scott brown will play, i just hope lennon will drop him cause he is pish

Thats my revised line up compared to my orginal choice although to a degree i feel Hooiveld having to manage Rogne and Misun through the game is a bit risky having Juarez driving the midfield is a must and with what I mentioned about Crosas and his passing and shooting would love him to play further up the pitch and stalk around the out side of the box picking the passes and putting in the shots

 

Tavern it is then!!! In before the game then there after again :icon_mrgreen: the result will be depending how much i drink

 

we need to take the game to braga and make them worry about our players and play the game in there half, we cant worry too much about what there players might do because we are behind and need to go for it, juarez completley ran the midfield at the weekend and his talent would be wasted at left back

what if he does play LB and then alan is moved to the middle? where does he play then? personally I would have

Zaluska

Cha Hooiveld Rogne Mulgrew

Maloney Ledley Juarez Mcgeady/Forrest

Fortune Hooper

I only chose Mulgrew at LB because he can deliver the ball better than any1 else in the team

 

Aye, but Hooiveld having to manage Rogne and do Mulgrew's job for him is even more risky.

 

Wilkie just phoned me Caterpillar peeing in his pants saying "Im gonna be in the same pub as Caterpillar" lol

 

me an 2 mates from work are going hoping it will be a good turn out .

 

Gutted I cant make this game as Im night shift , after the first game I wasn't bothered but as it draws closer im wishing i took the night off . I hope for the sake of the team the fans turn up to cheer the bhoys to victory .

 

that was my original concern it was either take a massive risk and play Mulgrew, take a slightly less of risk compared to that and play Misun or pretty much take no risk at all maybe besides having Brown play and have Juarez as the LB

 

first i wasnt going, but thats cause i was angry...ill be there & hopefully many others too!

 

haha, im going there too with my dad & cousins etc

 

It won't be a full house, cos I can't go
In Spain the now but there's an Irish Tavern down the road, hopefully they'll have coverage.

This is the team I would go for. Maybe Loovens instead of Rogne just for that little bit of experience.

Also I would put Sammy upfront with Hooper and put fortune on the right and Maloney on the left as that is how we finished the game against Arsenal.

All in all I do think that we can beat Braga just whether we can do enough to win by 3 or 4 clear goals
