SPFL Dundee v Celtic December 26TH kick off 3Pm Sky Sports Football

3-0 to the hoops in another important game

 

* at them from the first minute. Don't give them a chance to settle in. Taken our chances and set a precedent for the mutants on the 30th.

 

Biggest concern for this game is that it gets called off given what happened today.

 

This will be another difficult game up there as they will be set up like every other team that plays against us. Hopefully an early goal to settle the nerves, a good win and a good performance to set us up nicely for our game against they horrible, bigoted dirty orange mutant *

 

Why was it called off m8? Was it a waterlogged pitch or what?

 

If this match goes ahead we need a win first and foremost but hopefully we can go a couple goals ahead early enough to rest the likes of kyogo etc for the 30th. A win and no injuries please

 

Same team as today.

 

Aye, exactly that.

 

Get the victory here and that sets us up nicely for the 30th.

 

Might be heavy going then. Hopefully this * rain stops soon

 

Hope we can get the game won by HT, then rest players for the huns.

 

Rodgers might want to rotate here. Ralston at RB and maybe Forrest at RW (he played well) seem like good ideas. If the pitch is going to be as bad as feared, but the game proceeds, then Oh should start with Kyogo- Bernardo goes on the bench.

 

He shouldn't be resting anyone.

We need to build momentum.

 

There really isn't enough time for natural regeneration alone to do its thing. I honestly wonder what will the players be eating for Christmas. The pitch will be tiresome to play on. What helped yesterday weren't merely first team players, but rather, the approach. I'm sure Ralston, Forrest and Oh wouldn't suddenly have us revert to tippy-tappy *. Ralston is known to go long, which is to be advised in the weather/pitch conditions we'll be facing. Oh loves that as well. Forrest repeatedly went wide and crossed yesterday. I'd also rest Taylor if possible, TBH. He's had no rest this season.

 

Agreed, I think Rodgers has been changing the side too much to let players settle in the side

 

Why rest players when we need a win? Say he does rest players and we lose, everyone will blame Rodgers on the dodgey team selection and rightfully so. We haven’t been great lately and need to get as many points on the board as possible. Strongest team has to start. If we go a couple goals ahead then deffo rest players. 3 points first and foremost.

 

It's a bit debatable what the strongest team is. People not happy with Bernardo. AJ hasn't been head and shoulders above Ralston. Forrest may merit a start, too. If we play tired players, there's no guarantee of a result either.

 

Think he should definitely go with same side for continuity and momentum..

 

Who's the ref for this?
