    Again not that bothered about result,so long as we play well and have some fight. A win would be great to keep building on the last two games but if we lost i wouldn't be * off unlike other seasons.

    Do you interrupt momentum of the form that’s picking up and change it all up or do you trust in that form that’s starting and thing a good win will be a massive shot in the arm? On the other hand, a heavy loss could shatter that confidence. I think it’ll be 2/3 changes, with the same shape.

    I would only make two or three changes, but I would look to rest players like Rogić in the Europa League rather than in the league this season.

    We need continuity, definitely, but we need to wrap players like him in cotton wool.

    I get that, right now I'm leaning towards getting another 60 minutes in his legs and get him off but tomorrow I might be the same as you.

    Infact, 60 minutes isn't a Lenny time to sub so I'm agreeing just now haha.

    I'd rest Broony for the league though, thats the most important thing for me I think. It's how you shape the team after that

    There is some merit in giving rest to Frimpong, Laxalt, McGregor and Brown even... They've all had a lot of game time, especially Frimpong and McGregor those are the two I'd be tempted to leave out. Laxalt looks to be getting better every game so would give him 60min.

    I think we'll see Ajeti come on for Edouard with Ed getting some game time.

    Thinking about it would maybe reintroduce Barkas for this one, we've invested a lot of cash in him, see how he gets on in this one.

    Want to see more of Soro too, so maybe something like this. (won't be tho)

    Barkas
    Elhamed Duffy Bitton Laxalt
    Brown Soro
    Christie Ntcham Elyounoussi
    Ajeti

    I just hope that, if the managers does decide to rest some players as some of us have suggested, he and the team are not giving pelters if we don't get a result. I desperately want to win the 10 and didn't originally care about the Europa League but the past couple of games have given me the feel good factor again. Is it being greedy to want to do well in Europa as well as achieving the 10 (and the cups)?

    Give Frimpong, Brown. McGregor and Rogic a rest.

    With more minutes into El-Ham, Bitton, Turnbull and the two strikers.

    Reading today.....
    Its * insane that a team from a country that is under lockdown and no football is being played is permitted to jump on a plane for a game in another country.
    Elsewhere Ajax has 11 players positive and we are heading towards a international break with most of our team away.
    We should beat a team that's played only a few games in the last month or two but at what cost.
    This is going to be a very * month.

    Calmac seems to be one of those guys who doesn’t seem to benefit from a rest weirdly. Just get some freaks of nature like him.

    If the central defence and goalkeeper put in good performance we will win.

    Helluva more confident than what I was last week re this game but I will still be happy with any type of win.

    Brown McGregor

    Christie Edouard Elyounoussi

    2-0 Celtic Edouard and Christie getting the goals.

    Think Eddie playing slightly off Ajeti and pulling into spaces could work wonders

    They haven't played any domestic football since October 4th due to COVID restrictions and I also seen on twitter that they are missing 5 or 6 players through a mix of injury/COVID.

    This is the type of luck the Huns get every Euro game.
