Hearts v Celtic- League Cup- Wed 28th Oct KO 19:45 NAW ON TV STREAMS IN THE OP

Avoid defeat against Aberdeen and beat Molde, I would be delighted with that.

 

I'd be hugely disappointed if we only drew with Aberdeen honestly we should be sticking 3 or 4 past them

 

I reckon a home game against Aberdeen with the 2 results we've had I'd expect us to win but if you were offering that right now I'd probably take it.

 

Form says we should pump them but I doubt that will be the case. They raise their game against us and Saturday will be no different.

 

Aberdeen will put the boot right into us I think.

Diddy teams always seem to do it to us prior to European games and the upcoming European game is one of our most important in a while we really need to win it.

McInnes will be telling his players to go in hard on our players every time and try to bully us to get our players worried about injury before the Molde game. Will be a tough game, if Brown is unfit we might not have the fight in us to do them back.

 

Only seen the goals, Griffiths goal was class as was his assist for Rogics wee flick. Still concerned about set pieces/crosses though

 

We'll win 4-0 on Saturday they showed last season they have no bottle at Celtic Park they'll fold like a cheap suit

 

Even without Brown playing ?

 

This is a good point. It's all good saying we should be 100% focused on Aberdeen and not Thursday but players will be looking ahead, which is a natural thing to do. McInness will know that and implement it into his tactics.

Some will want to avoid injury and the management will take steps to ensure this as well. If it means a slightly weakened team or early subs or whatever then so be it. Thursday is much much more important.

 

Yes even without Brown playing Aberdeen are in no run of form I'll be amazed if they have more then 2 shots on goal

 

One thing I can say about Aberdeen is that I am not impressed with their current goalkeeper Danny Ward, he is letting in goals right, left and centre, think their Scott Brown is a far better goalkeeper.

 

It turned out a good result and two great goals. Hat off to Ronnie for a substitution, in Rogic, that made all the difference.

 

He was tipped as the next big thing at Liverpool but he looks shakey as * even in the game they beat us he looked dodgy from set pieces so think he has to be the target on Saturday

 

I'll bet you every v I have that they do.

 

Agreed Seth
Our game plan should be to test Ward in goal, especially aerially. Big Boyata and Jozo up there in the six yard box for set pieces and corners.

 

You watched Aberdeen this past month? they make Dundee United look like Man City :smiley-laughing002:

 

:smiley-laughing002:

They'll still manage more than two shots against our defence. This might be just the game they need in fact.

 

Danny ward has probably been one of their top 3 players this season. It's the first time in * knows how many years they have got a decent keeper after being plagued with *. Probably only mcginn has been better this season.

 

Shinnie who I never really took any notice of when he played for Inverness, he was there about 5 year but I couldnt mind anything about him. Seen him playing for Aberdeen 2/3 times this season and he has looked good playing in midfield, he gets about the pitch well and probably looked their best player for me in the games I watched, seemed to be all over the pitch.
