    Guidetti. He has been waiting for this moment. A big night at CP, he will thrive. Griff definitely to feature.

    Guidetti, He is the better player and while he hasn't scored he has set up 3 goals in the last two games he played and has been getting better, he also has more experience playing against quality players, Griffiths would be good to have on the bench to come on and had some speed in the second half

    Griffiths has scored 3 and set up 1 in his last 4 though, I would rather have Griffiths.

    Griffiths for me. He is the striker in a bit of form. He will also put in a shift up front

    I'd say this. Although dropping one of Ex-Utd boys could be harsh.

    To be honest, overall they are about the same based on skill, but Guidetti has more confidence and aggression which makes me want to pick him for this game, also on a game against a top euro side, set pieces will be important as always, and I have a feeling guidetti could score a free kick :50:

    I'd start Guidetti. His all round play is better than Griffiths. Against Partick he made an endless amount of great runs that wernt picked out. Harsh on Griffiths to drop him but Guidetti will start scoring again and he is a better player.

    Griffiths doesn't deserve to be dropped. But Guidetti could really do something special.

    Head says Griff, Heart says Guidetti.

    Went with my heart.

    I think it has to be Griffiths, and I'm confident it will be also. I really don't see Deila dropping him, and he has no reason to either.

    Has Stokes not got a good record in Europe?

    :smiley-laughing002: sorry was being sarcastic :52:

    Griffiths for me, a couple of months ago it would have been Guidetti but Leigh deserves his chance

    It's not that Scepovic is great, far from it; it's that Guidetti and Griffiths are poor. Guidetti carries very little goal threat in open play and, while Griffiths certainly does carry a goal threat, most of our moves break down when the ball is passed to him.

    Obviously Scepovic is hardly the answer, but going into a game against a team like Inter, is it really being harsh to wish we had a striker on our books that can both score goals and link up play? I'm not asking for a Larsson, I know that's unrealistic. I'm not even asking for a Sutton, on our budget that's just not going to happen; but surely to have a chance of one day doing something in the EL we at least need a Skippy or a Hooper who can do both.
