Celtic Vs Hibs - Pre-Match Thread

After the 6-0 pumping of Caley i can see a huge confidence boost against Hibs. They have no real threats and i think we'll see them off with ease

 

It won't be easy but I am confident we can get three points.

 

Over confidence is bad thing! Though i know the bhoys will be level headed and focused

 

well they are on free fall atm. so i hope we go out and smash them and pile the preassure on yogi and the mankey mob

 

they're on a dreadful run

 

Looking forward to this game, could be a tough test for us.

I would line-up:

--------------Forster-----------------
Cha--Majstorovic--Loovens--Izaguirre--
----------Kayal----Ledley-------------
Juarez--------Hooper--------Samaras
--------------Stokes----------------

With Hooper and Stokes swapping roles at any time.

 

2 ;0 stokes

 

Hibernian may be on a bad run at the moment but this won't be a stroll in the park. I think though we will be able to get the points and it will be interesting to see who starts up front. I thought Stokes and Hooper looked good last night together.

 

--------------Forster-----------------
Cha--Majstorovic--Loovens--Izaguirre--
----------Kayal----Ledley-------------
Juarez--------Maloney--------Samaras
--------------Murphy----------------

I would actually go with that, very similar to TABS lineup but Maloney in for Hooper and Murphy in for Stokes (if fit). Juarez likes to play centrally so Cha can bomb up and down the wing all game like Wilson did last night.

Stokes and Hooper to be introduced if we're chasing goals. Would also like to see Ki get on at some point, or even get a start if possible.

 

Thread now stickied

Coming over for this game my last game until middle of November so really looking forward to this.

 

woo woooo I'm gettin that Saturday feeling coming on

and I got a wee feeling Stokes and Hooper are too!!:icon_mrgreen:

 

Again the wrong attitude. Pride goeth before a fall.Hibs will be fired up for this one by John Hughes, and we would be fools to think otherwise.We can't afford to drop two or even three points because of over confidence, as this league has all the hallmarks already of going right to the wire.

 

2-1 celtic.

 

should be a tough one , is it on tv ?

 

26.Forster​

11.Cha 5.Majstorovic(c) 6.Hooiveld 21.Mulgrew​

12.Wilson 33.Kayal 16.Ledley​

10.Stokes 88.Hooper 9.Samaras​

Subs:
24.Zaluska(GK), 4.Juarez, 13.Maloney, 15.Misun,
18.Ki, 25.Rogne & 27.Murphy.​

With Scott Brown & Emilio Izagurrie probably out, I would bring Mark Wilson into midfield for extra protection, that way Cha & Mulgrew can bomb forward & we will have cover & not get exploited in our wide area's mainly the left hand side..​

Hope for a good match & another good win ​

 

i never said they would be TOO confident * *, its hard to put your point across on here. Btw mate, it wont be on TV, home games never are unless its old firm or europe.

 

Sorry but why not just play Ki or Juarez in midfield instead of Wilson, that doesn't make any sense. I would far rather have Wilson at right back than in midfield!

 

Just with him having full back experience can cover for Cha or Mulgrew, Didn't Lenny play Wilson in midfield against Hearts at the end of last season? Was just a thought, Was thinking Juarez & Ki, but thought Wilson would have been more defensive minded thats all, have Kayal & him sitting & let Ledley get forward..

 

I'd play that but with Maloney/Juarez instead of Wilson

Think we will win 2-0 , Sammy( he's gonna go on a goal scoring run hopefully!) and Stokes banging one in.

Is it bad i really hope Brown is still injured, he just ruins the line up

 

We're in good form but Hibs were the team that ended our 2 really good winning streaks under WGS. Saying that they were both at Easter Road and they're not on good form at the moment at all so hopefully it'll be a decent win.
