Udinese vs. Celtic 15/12/11

cant see other than a 3/4-0 win for them, hope im wrong though.

 

really looking forward to this game, i think the fact that its win or bust is good, means we have nothing to lose by just going for it. plus i get out of work in time for kick off, will be the first celtic game i'll have seen live for a fortnight!

My head says we'll probably lose though who knows, if we can keep it tight at the back and can nick a goal we might just do it.

Either way I wont be too sad if we go out, think we've given a decent account of ourselves in what was a tricky group, we've certainly done better than I expected and but for that dodgy penalty at home to udinese and cha's o.g we'd be in a really good position.

come on you bhoys in green!!!

 

Is this not on tv? I thought all the other games were on ESPN.

 

On ESPN tomorrow.

 

I checked earlier on my box and couldn't see it. Just checked again and it is on.

i must be having one of those days.

 

We could easily switch 4-5-1 to 4-3-3.

Likely to be a change in personnel with Ledley & Loovens out, Izzy still sidelined, Rogne not registered and El Kad cup tied but I still see us playing with one ST up front.

Team could be;

Forster
Cha - K Wilson - Maj - Mulgrew
Forrest - Brown - Kayal - Wanyama - Samaras
Hooper

Reverting to;


Forster
Cha - K Wilson - Maj - Mulgrew
Brown - Kayal - Wanyama
Forrest - Hooper - Samaras

If K Wilson is not risked, then Wanyama to partner big Dan and Ki in the MF.

 

I would have thought it means our standard league formation with 2 up front, rather than a more defensive 4-5-1 that we usually use in Europe.

 

Forster
Cha Majstorovic Wanyama Mulgrew
Forrest Brown Kayal Samaras
Hooper Stokes


Zaluska Wilson Bangura Ki McCourt George Twardzik

 

If it's attack minded then he has to start with Hooper and Stokes upfront. I'm not sure about midfield but we need Kayal and Wanyama to keep it solid in the middle.

 

Totally agree. I didn't see much wrong with the previous format myself. I think they should revert to the more cut-throat knock-out they had before.

It was almost a case of one slip-up and you're out.

It didn't need re-branding in my opinion. Platini and co got this one wrong.

 

this confuses the * out of me any time i hear/see someone saying it.

he does absolutely * ALL every time he starts.

 

I agree. McCourt is at his best when he is coming off the bench with around 15-20 minutes to go.

 

4-4-2 with Kayal and Wanyama in the middle would do nicely for me, i think they can control the midfield themselves if they play the ball wide quickly to bring Forrest and Sammy into the game

 

And thats what we should do

 

When we're three up?

 

Everything is against Celtic in this game ,Playing a team who are top of there League ,Playing away from home and we know that Celtic don't travel well ,but Celtic need to go there and play there own game and play it well ,i they can rise to the occasion we are in with a shout .
If they play slack passing ,get harried etc I fear for Celtic ,This team are no mugs but theve qualified already so it might just work out for Celtic ,They must start winning away game ,there is no better time than now to do this .

 

Match suits Ki. Ki and Wanyama center mid.

However I predict a 4 or 5 -0 humping.

 

Always room for a bit of positivity

 

Any actual odds on this one out yet? Could be worth a couple of quid on us as the underdogs.
