    That was me assuming you wouldn't have Stokes up front or in the no.10 role. :52:

    Yeah, I think tried and tested will be the way to go in this one. 4-2-3-1 has been working for us for a while now, no reason to start * around now.

    Thats its. Especially what hes done for Izzy. Izzy has been brilliant this season and thats down to having stokes in LM instead of Sammy or Dirk.

    Update from the Slaw camp.

    Still * * myself even though I believe we'll hammer them :smiley-laughing002:

    These are some absolute certainties about what team we'll play on Sunday that don't even need to be debated they're that certain:

    We will play 4-2-3-1
    Gordon will start in goal
    Virgil, Denayer and Izaguirre will start at the back
    Brown will start
    Johansen will play in an advanced midfield role
    Stokes will start on the left.

    That leaves these decisions to be debated:
    Rusty Lustig or Matthews at RB?
    Will Bitton start?
    What 2 out of Forrest, Commons, Guidetti and Griffiths will start?

    Unless he goes with Johansen beside brown and Commons in the hole, which I would be extremely surprised about.

    henderson could be a surprise pick, i think the manager likes him, and he ticks all the boxes as to what ronny wants in a player.

    The only issue I would have with Henderson is Black or McCulloch taking him out and injuring him...then him not returning the same player. I know that could happen to anyone of our players but Henderson is still young and don't want his development wrecked!

    Might be a bit para but still

    Guidetti

    That's the team I want. I think we'll probably have Commons on the right though with Matthews at right back. Can see Griffiths starting up top as well with Guidetti on the bench. Hope not though. Would perhaps start young Henderson in place of Griffiths on the right to add a little more bite to the midfield.

    I would start Lustig and Guidetti.

    Think this game will see Guidetti get back on track with a bang.


    Gordon

    Lustig Denayer Van Dijk Izzy

    Brown Bitton

    Commons Johansen Stokes

    Guidetti

    With Forrest and Griffiths coming on at the same tine around 65/70 minutes to run at them with pace when they're getting tired.

    I think it'll be a cushy 3-0 for us. There is not a snowball's chance of them winning this match, they are * useless.

    The Celtic team I would like to see is............

    Gordon

    Lustig------Denayer------van Dijk------Izaguirre

    Brown------Biton------Johansen------Commons

    Guidetti------Stokes


    A straight, no nonsense 4-4-2 and go for the jugular. Brown tucks in a bit to match up against their 3 man central midfield and the full-backs bomb on all day long. Take them to the cleaners. Easy peasy. Let the * taking commence.

    Why are people wanting to change our formation and typical starting line-up so much? It has to be 4-3-2-1 and Stokes has to play if fit. The defence picks itself if fit, midfield likewise. I'd personally go Griffiths up top but I've a feeling it will be Guidetti.

    Pace is crucial in this game so my preference would be Griffiths for that reason.

    Bring on griffiths if we need a goal or to terrorize there flaking back line, Matthews for Lustig if he can't last and we have some extra pace bombing and commons..

    I wanted Guidetti dropped and am not his biggest fan. But I am tempted by the prospect of him being a big game player. Wouldn't be fair on Griffiths, though.

    Don't want to see any experimenting for this. Go with the formation we are thriving with and as many players as possible in their best positions.

    I'd have this team:

    Gordon

    Lustig
    Denayer
    Van Dijk
    Izaguirre

    Brown
    Bitton

    Commons
    Johansen
    Stokes

    Guidetti

    Subs: Zaluska, Ambrose, Matthews, Forrest, Griffiths

    Harsh on Griffiths but if Guidetti is up for this I think he'll cause them all sorts of problems.

    2-0 Celtic.

    Hills online have Celtic 1/3 to win, big odds.

    Wonder if the actual shop prices will be even less odds.
