[Official TC Thread] Celtic v The rangers semi final sun 23rd Oct

Leaving one of the best strikers of a ball around the box on the bench against a pack zombie box is a mistake from BR....get griff on...forrest has been quiet and bitton couldn't win a tackle against a one legged kitten.
Best players on the park is again \o/.

 

Biton drives me mad in a sense I think he can be a good player but he just seems a very relaxed/laid back type of player, where as McGregor might suit this game through being more mobile,better on the ball and a little runt/terrier in midfield.

 

Put Sinclair in the number 10 position behind Dembele

 

Good shout,McGregor far more suited to a slog of a game than Bitton

 

Imagine if Thomson gave that penalty it's the kind of thing he'd do tbf

 

We need to keep on the pressure, these * are going park the bus playing 7 in defence and then hit hope when they get the ball, we just have been really clumsy up front.

 

unleash the griff!!!!

 

Forrest, Dembele need to come off about 60

Bitton is a passenger, but i would keep him on over McGregor

I hate those Bet365 adverts

i fear a dodgy rangers opener

 

Sure, its just Tavinier has been up his */onto him most of the first half with his little errand boy Hodson up KTs * as well.

We need to use the wings more intelligently as they seem to be onto us utilizing there and they are throwing us down that corridor at will.

 

Rotten standard of football so far. Feels like we are playing at rangers levels. The only half chances rangers are getting come from silly errrors.

This game really shows how much we get away with silly mistakes playing in Scotland but get punished in europe.

I think if we score early in the 2nd half it might be quite comfortable but id be worried if its still 0 0 going into the last half hour

 

Agreed, this staying ugly/tight suits them, if they get the first goal, shut up shop, will be tough.

 

Scott Brown best player on the park

 

Calm down guys, it's about getting to the final be it 1-0 or 5-0. The pitch is *. This mob are pish so we will break them down eventually. Changes needed soon though, getting harder to defend Bitton with his lazy displays. Armstrong would graft more IMO. Hope to see Paddy & Griff on at some stage, but not at the expense of Dembele.

 

To be fair on thomson he's no been too bad. Could have easily called penalty but gave the * a yellow. Iv got a feeling it's one.of those.extra time games.

 

Roberts on please

 

I have wondered in my minds eye if 3-5-2 would over run their midfield and 2 up front would get their defence hot under the collar. Plus Lustig and KT have been effective going forward as @Sean Daleer and others have pointed out.

But then i stop the idealism and like the manager has, ask myself if we are physical enough to pull that off.

 

thompson WILL give a penalty

 

Yeah think the refs been ok myself. If anything gave quite a bit to us.

 

Calm down lads they irny going to score.
