    he was part of a few winning squads, therefore will use the formations he played in i reckon, expect nguemo to be the sole anchor man, with ki attacking, in my opinion

    If you want us to be like Rangers, then why not support Rangers?

    No offense, but if that's the kind of football you like to see? :39:

    Personally I think it would be the very worst thing that could happen - the total antithesis of the Celtic Way.

    As I said in the Celtic v Kilmarnock thread he may be like MON when he came in and play 3 cb's and 2 WB's to try and steady it a bit. We'll wait and see on Saturday.

    Let's just hope he can nearly every game between now and the end of the season, under TM we really never got going, no long runs, too many silly defeats.

    i think we will see a differnet crosas i think this guy is a gem of a player and if lennon can molud him half the player he was we are onto a winner what a passer of a ball and a good stricker of it too.come on bracalona had aclause in his contract that they could buy him back after 18months i think thats why we will see more of him because its by 18months and they didnt want to lose him for cheap.If he plays well until the end of the season and next season he will leave for a few million.good deal on the 650.000 we payed for him.

    im not bothered, as long as he focuses on the defence and gets it organised, being the player he was, drill it into midfield to protect the young defenders, hopefully he puts out a 442 as most players are comfortable in this, i would go for
    Boruc
    Hinkel Thompson Loovens Braafheid
    Fortune Crosas N'guemo McGeady
    Rasmussen Keane

    To play a 3-5-2 you either need big strong defenders who will bully anyone and clear their lines no matter what or failing that pacey defenders who are able to cover the spaces down the flanks...we have neither it will be straight 4-4-2

    My only hope is that Lennon strips Brown of captainicy gives it to Boruc or Hinkel

    As long as he doesn't play a striker on the wing with a short striker in the middle on his own, a youngster in the 'hole' and a midfield of ngumo + ki and take us away to a scottish team determined to fight and show some character ala st mirren.

    He'll go 4-4-2 brown-crosas-nguemo-mcgeady
    keane - ?

    why didnt you say support stoke or blackburn, rangers are a very hard team to beat and have shown it all season domesticly and i think theres nothing wrong with being hard to beat,just like stoke are a big bullying team reminds me of oneils team with us

    i dont wanna support rangers but i have an opinion and they dfend like a real team unlike us thats all i was saying

    I would go with a 3-5-2 formation for the remainder of the season. The full backs have just not been consistant all season. I would go


    ---------------------Boruc-----------------------
    --------Loovens------Hooiveld-----O'Dea---------
    -------------Brown--------Ngemo----------------
    --McGinn----------------------------MGeady-----
    ------------------- Keane-----------------------
    ------------Rasmussen-----Fortune--------------


    Cracking team

    (Take o'Dea out when Rogues back)

    It's no co-incidence Crosas was a regular during our form patch...directs traffic from the holding mf role...

    We haven't got a confident defence to play 3-5-2...even Mogga knew he couldn't play it this way I don't think we should start now

    well mogga was a centre half and i would have expected him to value defending but he didn't at all apparently

    Celtic all over, 2 shirt selling deals they were. Both not good enough to play for the likes of Hearts, aberdeen, never mind celtic :38:

    Well in fairness, he had to play a reserve player for alot of games (Thompson)

    I'd be surprised if Lennon goes with a system outside of what MON or GS used with him though. He wants the full time job so he'll stick to what he knows I reckon.

    I havent any reserve games this season so I know nothing about Lennon as a manager
