Would like to see us play:

Jozo (give him a chance)
Tierney

Armstrong
Rogic
McGregor

Roberts
Griff
New attacking left mid

Think we need to freshen up in the centre of the pitch and rogic and mcgregor have done well when given the chance this season. Armstrong can be swapped for bitton/brown/Allan/Henderson/Ajer.

Only concern is no real solid * in the middle of the pitch...

 

Can see Bitton leaving and I think Brown is past his best. It's about time we see why we signed Armstrong. He's been playing out on the left wing pretty much the entire time he's been here when we can all see he suits a more central role.

And I've given my thoughts on Griffiths enough.

 

Fucksake Sean, we've all heard today what Broony's been playing with. Armstrong over our captain who is not 100% is criminal..

 

I really hope Griffiths isn't starting for us next season unless it's part of a front 2.

 

It's an area that unquestionably needs improving in quality and bodies ..

 

Not sure why near everyone is still putting Bitton in their teams. Appalling attitude this season. Always looks sulky and hides in games.

Great player at his best but I'm really disappointed with his atitude this season. Will need to do a lot to win me over again next season - if he stays.

 

I would like to see a manager who has a set formation but can also mix it up now and again. I would prefer a 4-3-3 formation but we have the players to go 4-2-3-1. 4-1-2-1-2, 4-4-2, 4-5-1 or even 3-5-2. In europe for instance I prefer 4-5-1 and would go with griffiths up front in home games and Kazim Richards away from home. In the league I would like an attacking 4-3-3 at home and mix it up away from home depending on oposition.

 

I agree, but I think most people will be putting him in the team purely on ability. He's got such a range of passing, makes him a valuable asset to the team. You're right though, his application this season has been poor. I'm willing to give all the players who've shown consistent form at some point another chance next year - they've all played badly this season bar Tierney & Griff.

 

I went for a midfield 3 and to be honest, I think in a 3 if you have a defensive midfielder then the other 2 have to be dynamic. Bitton is just far too slow for that.

The players on either side of the rock in the middle need to have energy, get back and forward. Rogic isn't ideal either but he's shown he can get stuck in as well as do the damage in attack.

 

Gordon

New RB (Linus Wahlquist)
Simunovic
Sviatchenko
Tierney

Bitton
Brown/Ajer
New CM (someone with a bit of creativity)

Roberts
New striker
New winger

 

No Griffiths?

 

All i can say is thank * Forrest wont be anywhere near the team

 

For Scotland we should be going 2 up front, so he'd always be in with that, but in Europe, defo need another striker to hold that line as for me Griff doesn't offer us anything on that front in Europe.

I'd like to see Allan and Christie given more of a chance. Henderson should defo take Brown's place if not be back-up to whoever does (maybe Armstrong who if he can get his act together use that energy we saw at Dundee Utd).

I'd honestly let Roberts go back down south, we don't need him and for me we won't be making the CL anyway.

 

You talk some amount of *, give Allan and Christie a chance but send one of our better performers in this poor season back down south, and you honestly must be the most negative * on here in a long while, you dont even know our new manager or signings yet have us pumped out the qualifiers already

 

Going solely with what we have at the moment

Gordon
Janko Sviatchenko Simunovic Tierney
Armstrong Bitton Ajer
Roberts
Scepovic Griffiths​

I'd like to see Armstrong given a run in the middle rather than out wide. Both full backs getting forward to provide width and basically give Roberts a free role behind the front two.

 

They are Celtic players, he is not.

Why not go with what they can possibly offer, not been given a chance. Roberts is a decent enough player, I don't believe he's a £12m player, either. And as I can't see how the majority of this team can turnaround from some really woeful performances recently (most notably the Rangers game, who can't beat any * at the moment) and now brush aside European teams who are far superior to them. I gave the reasons why, we are not going to spend the money required to get into the CL.

We'll see how much * I'm talking come start of next year.

 

Interesting team. Front 2 of Scepovic and Griff could work actually, does anyone know of Scep has been playing up front on his own on loan?

 

I know he ain't been playing up front lately, I think they only have 1 guy up front and it ain't him.
