Celtic v Shakter Karagandy Wednesday 28th August - 7.45 KO Sky Sports 1

Good team that

 

Yeah, a bit top heavy but it's necessary for Wednesday night. They will stick 11 men behind the ball but if we play at a high tempo and utilise our skill, I think we'll go through

 

Really don't want Watt starting in midweek. I'd rather give Atajic a shot.

I know it's a massive game and Atajic is even less experienced than Watt but Tony just does nothing for me.

 

Tickets say 7.45 kick off, but I've seen 6.45 on some websites. Anyone able to confirm that it hasn't been changed?

 

I feel sorry for Watt mate, as every time he gets a game its out on the wing

Guy next to me yesterday kept giving him dogs abuse for not been in the middle, im sitting there thinking is he watching the same game as me (he was clearly playing on the wing)

A couple of games back Ledley was also giving him abuse for not being in the middle & you could clearly see him tell Ledley that he was to play on the wing

 

I never said walk into a team we have players here could hold there own in the EPL that im sure.

that was your own quote...

but you asked why our players were average....... they are

which of our players would you say is an above average player using EPL as a standard ? we got 5 million for our top striker........ an average player in the EPL is going to cost you that and NOT for a striker.

just look at the fashionable clubs our star players went to

we have many players who could be above average but they would have to do it most weeks .......... they don't. I have not seen one game this year where i thought we were quality. I have attended matches at CP since the mid 70's and so far this season i have not seen much to make me think it will be anything other than average.

Boerrigter is the one player i would hope can change that....... i will continue to hope for improvements ..... starting with Karaganday. We should be able to score but can we keep a clean sheet ? i am worried that they score.... would like to be 3 up before the hour mark....... having a cushion is about the only time that our players look cohesive

 

100% ko will be 7.45pm. Not a hope in * it will be changed.

 

been anxious since the last game, Wednesday night is gonna be stressful

 

6.45 is the time that sky sports start coverage of the match just

Atajic has done nothing to get a place over Watt in the starting XI for such an important game, in my opinion at least.

Watt is a goalscorer. Not a poacher like Hooper, granted, but he will get us goals when we need them if he is used properly and not put out on the left wing.

 

cant wait for this game got tickets through the door y-day after the poor result over there and the draw yesterday i think the boys will be up for it big time.

"Lennon could also be without Derk Boerrigter..."

FFS

We are really gonna struggle to get the * goals we need.

 

if dirk is up against it have sammy left mid, adam right mid

 

does anyone know what derks injury is ? I cant believe he has injured himself this long in trying to score

 

Lustig
Ambrose
Mulgrew
Izzy

Brown

Matthews

Sammy

Balde
Stokes


(4-1-3-2 formation) Matthews and Balde HAVE to start. We line up like this and go out all attack we have enough quality to score 3. Mulgrew can GTF if hes.no playing XB idgaf

 

no keeper lol

 

Not exactly a quick healer

 

I was at the game and I remember thinking "he's probably just went over on his ankle and just needs to rest it for a week or so"

 

We will need a big performance from everyone in the team to beat them by 3 goals. I'd go with:

Forster

Lustig
Ambrose
Van Dijk
Izaguirre

Brown
Ledley

Matthews
Commons
Samaras

Balde

Kind of 4-2-3-1.

 

That's an interesting and innovative line-up, Ari.

Would be good to see but Lenny is too conservative.
