Rangers vs Celtic

rogne>odea>loovens

and i cant see thompson playing, hed be too much of a liability than an asset, ive a feeling if he plays hed be injured soon enough...

 

Take your chances, protect the back four and rise to victory. Easy!

 

Well Hooiveld is definately out for Sunday, heard that on Clyde 1 this morning and although I don't always believe Mr Keevens I think its probably correct.

 

will robbie be fit defo for sunday? bit worried seeing about this knee injury and him not training on it ?? fingers crossed.

 

We can deff win this match and the league! I can see us scoring goals the problem is i can also see us conceeding! Lets hope our attacking can outway what i fear could be a medicocre defensive display.

I hope every player gives 100% and shows some fight

 

Boruc

Hinkel Thomson Rogne Braafheid

Crosas

Brown(c) N'Guemo Ki Sung McGeady

Keane

Protect the youngsters at the back.
Play fast counter attacks with Brown and McGeady on the wings.
Keane can be released by Ki Sung, on his off-side trap runs - Granda Weir won't cope & the refs will be under real pressure to watch not to flag Robbie offside.

Can blend into a 4-4-1-1 with Ki or McGeady moving up behind/beside Keane.

We have much more options to * about with formation/line-up than them. Kamara, Rasmussen, Fortune & Zheng are all benched in this line-up.
​

 

I like your line up, but I'd even prefer Crosas and N'Guemo to play even deeper (rather than just Crosas) so we have 2 midfielders protecting the back 4, bit like Inter last night.

This is true. All I'm goign to say though is it takes a smart manager to be able to utilise all the options.

 

With all the fancy formations there good, but mogga will never use them

it will be 442 without a doubt and I don't think anything too different will be tried

anyone know if mccourts fit?

 

I would go with:


..................Boruc.............

..Hinkel..Braafheid..Rogne..Naylor..

..Brown..N'Guemo..Crosas..McGeady..

............Keane.....Rasmussen.......


I would definitely not play Josh Thompson for this one. He lacks pace & Rangers will look to hit on the counter, Thompson is promising but in my opinion, a no go in this game.

 

Yes we can.

 

CAN WE DO IT lol yes we can!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I agree mate, our midfield protection will be key if we're to win this match.

 

id expect kamara and mcgeady to start, and nguemo and brown to stay back the majority of the time

 

I really do not like the fecking about with the MF. I do not think Ki or Kamara would work against Rangers. Ki IMO would be totally overrun. Kamara wouldnt track back and Braffheid is a diabolical defender. Naylor may be patchy going forward but he is a much better defender than Braffheid. Think we will have to stick to the 2 young CBs. If Loovens is fit maybe play him but O'Dea shouldnt even be considered


...............Artur

Hinkel.......Thompson.....Rogne......Naylor


Brown.........NGuemmo......Crosas......McGeady


.........................Fortune.......Keane

 

This is a cup final game, in the sense if we don't win its over. I think we are due to give some team a hammering. Lets hope is Sunday!!!!!

 

I don't think Mowbray will play Rogne because he only have played one 90 min game. He will probably choose Loovens and O´Dea because they have both played against Rangers.

 

we will win this one as long as the refs not the huns 12th man

 

Why can't it be Sunday already? I'm itchin to see this game. Not been like this before anOF in a good while.

Let's keep our def tight and pump the goals in.

 

Just said on SSN that Robbie Keane is a doubt, Waiting to hear TM news conf.

Hope nothing comes of this.

 

Well I dont think i will be back on TC until after the game.

Hope we skelp a few Huns and bag the 3points :icon_mrgreen:. Enjoy the game Bhoys and Ghirls.

My prediction 1-3 Hail Hail.
