Champions League RB Leipzig v Celtic Wednesday October 5th kick off 5:45 BT Sport 4

I'll wait to see the line up before I get too despondant. However I'm pretty sure what'll be.
With Abada out the only potential surprise I can see is Hacksaw instead of Maeda.
If GG is fit he might start and Kyogo move out to Maedas' position, but I can't really see it.
The one change I'd like to see is Abildgaard coming in to protect the CBs. But given he only got about a minute on Saturday I can't see that either.

The one thing I'm clinging to is, as Welsh and Jenz play more together they'll get a better understanding, and the did kind of keep a clean sheet on Saturday.

 

Release the leash on Haksa and let him run riot early, he will score where Maeda would not.

 

JJ to score a penalty, Hatate to score outside the box, Welsh to score a header.

 

Anybody got youth league stream?

 

Haven't even looked but just seen on hill's we're 2 up and we've also just missed a penalty inside 15 minute's. So looks like we're battering them to *..

Hopefully a good omen..

 

Happy to come back with a draw, considering the CB pairing we are likely to see.

But we know we are capable of scoring goals and if the middle to front play as we expect, you never know.

McGregor, Hatate, O'Reilly
Maeda, Kyogo, Jota

Should all be on form and on fire tonight.

Last two games we have looked ropey at the back and the front guys stiffled with the likes of Motherwells play to just kick us and slow the game down. Leipzig won't be that anti football about it, so I expect the forward playing part of our game to shine tonight.

Just how reliable is the CB pairing and Hart concentration going to be.

 

Just about to head round for my carry out. Tunes on, be hawf cut by 3.

 

To be fair I think GG deserves a start. Kyogo has started both CL games so far without scoring. If our issue has been not taking our chances, GG in is the first resort. Do it Ange, nae playing favourites

 

They have both started 1 each. I’m not bothered which one starts though and I’m usually 100% Kyogo every time.

Without CCV and our last 2 league games I’ve lost all confidence for this. Still think we can get something though we are well capable of we turn up in all departments. Would be delighted with a draw but we will go for the win and will create plenty good chances. It’s just whether we can actually take a couple of them.

 

Would take a draw right now.

 

We need to take our chances, it's the difference at this level as we seen in the first 2 games. We could easily have took the lead against Real Madrid and might have got something and then Shakhtar we could have pumped and ended up drawing with only 1 goal from about 25 shots and corners.

Only good thing is this game might not affect anything so it's not that important, as long as we win our 2 home games then we might be fine so a draw or win would just be a bonus.

 

I'm in the same boat.

I just want us to give a good account of ourselves.

We're due a result though.

 

Jackie's been out injured. There isn't a chance he starts tonight..

 

Welsh - Jenz gives me the fear!

Also a few passengers in the team the past few weeks, need t get their fingers out. O'Riley & Jota to name a few!

Take a draw right now! need 6 points from remaining Home games!

 

Set pieces are going to be a huge danger for us tonight.

Statistically Leipzig are very dangerous in the air, especially compared to us. Orban in particular but also Gvardiol - Orban already has 2 goals this season.

They also play some incredibly dangerous through balls - Nkunku has some fantastic vision at picking out those passes - as does David Raum at RB if he plays.

Szobaszlai is going to need closed down at all costs, his ability to hit shots from far out is incredible, O'Riley is going to have to be on his toes defensively tonight as well as in attack.

There's no doubt we're underdogs here, I'd take a draw for sure but as much as it pains me to say it, I think we come undone here - CCV is a huge miss.

 

I felt more confident about Real Madrid due to the past 2 games in the League, and the absence of Key players from either being injured or having played * recently.

 

Not confident tonight but you never know. Need a massive performance from everyone. Draw would be a great effort.

 

As history shows, when the fans are not that confident. We win.


So tonight we shall * win!!!!!

Yes iv finished work early and cracked some confidence open.
