[Official TC Thread] Celtic vs Lincoln Red Imps 2nd Leg

I'd go 3-5-2.

Really stretch their team and try to make spaces between the lines.

I'd play the team that started the first half today, with Ajer in for O'Connell.

 

Would agree with this. Ajer for centre half going forward.

 

Ajer has looked composed in every game, Efe could learn a thing or 2 from him

 

Fisher, Allan and McGregor need to start on wed

 

Brendan said Ajer could play on Wednesday

 

Looks like a sellout for this game, which is fantastic. Go attacking and put 10 past this mob so no one remembers the first leg.

 

Aye McGregor has to play, he is great at picking the ball up turning and just running rather than this side to side pish.

 

After today

Gordon

Lustig
Erik
Ajer

Roberts
Armstrong
Mcgregor
Rogic
Tierney

dembele

cifcti, allan coming on as subs

 

were not really strong at centre back at the minute to be playing three centre halfs.

svitchenko oconnel ajer .too inexperianced a backline for me to be playing such an important game.

svitchenko ajer ambrose.self explanotory why this would be suicide.

svitchenko ajer lustig.that might do it although not lustigs strongest position.

wouldnt mind trying this though when boyata and simunovic are both fit.b oth have a lot to prove.

 

me too,still ahead of allan for me.

 

Would be amazing if we filled the whole stadium. Can't remember the last time that happened, inter Milan ?

 

Efe done very well today, let's be fair.

Anyway, what formation did we start the match with today? Thought it was a 4-3-3?

 

4-4-2 at the start

Armstrong left mid with Dembele and griff up top

Changed to 3-5-2

Tierney pushed on, Armstrong came into the middle

 

I like 3-5-2, think it could be Ok for this game if Erik comes back fit, before people start on Efe, he was very good today against Wolfsburg and will be fine against the Imps on Wednesday alongside Erik and Lustig imo. O'Connell looks poor, It's too early for McCart and likewise Ajer, Ajer done ok but looked a bit ropey at times as well and it's a lot of pressure on him to come in on Wednesday in front of a sell out crowd.

I'd go with......

--------------------------Gordon-----------------------------

----------Lustig-----------Erik-----------Ambrose-----------

---------------------------Bitton------------------------------

----Roberts-------Allan-----------McGregor------Tierney---

-------------------Dembele-------Griffiths-------------------

Tierney and Roberts both bombing up and down the flanks. I'd start to go one up front and have more sturdiness in the team as the ties go on and get harder.

 

Efe should be nowhere near the team. * amazing that some thick * still can't understand the guy can't deal with pressure.

He wasn't fine against them on Tuesday, why will he be fine against them on Wednesday? No * thanks.

 

If Brown doesn't start on Wednesday then I think Efe should be captain. He has the most experience and is probably the best leader we have.

 

:smiley-laughing002::smiley-laughing002:

 

Ajer (Who isn't naturally a CB anyway), McCart and O'Connell all aren't ready to be in the team yet and handle the pressure needed. Throwing any of them into a MUST WIN CL Qualifier in front of a 60,000 crowd (hopefully) isn't something I'd feel confident in.

Efe has handled pressure in the past in the CL so that's bollocks, At the end of the day, with injuries to Simunovic and Boyata and Mulgrew out of contract. Efe is currently our 3rd best fit CB. Erik, Lustig, Efe.

If it's a two man CB then Erik and Lustig for Wednesday, if it's a three man CB then Erik, Lustig and Efe.

 

This * about efe is becoming a joke,i liked him at one point.cant think of any other celtic players that have been given more chances than efe ambrose,despite * up after * up?

thats 3 managers now that have stood by him.lennon,diela and now looks as if brendans making the same mistakes so far.

its now become so bad that teams we come against no matter how * expect to score against us with him at the back.you only had to hear how excited opposing fans get any time he touches the ball.

i gaurantee lincoln reds were creaming when our teamsheet got read out lastweek withefe at centre back.i f efe starts lincoln reds will have hit the jackpot and we can say goodbye to european football this year.dont think some fans no how important wednesdays game is.no european football what so ever.
