Ferencvaros 2 - 3 Celtic

It's going to be a toughie. They won't be so negative at home and it will be another stiff test for us.

 

Cause we’d struggle to beat a team that finished 4th in their group

 

I fancy our chances to beat Ferencvaros and then beat Betis at home.

 

Edit - NVM.

 

You sure @Taz : https://www.bt.com/sport/football/e...-4-live-streams-how-to-watch-bt-sport#fer_cel says different and it is at 8pm UK?

 

Maybe Im wrong, they mustve changed the time, as it was originally slated as an earlier kick off.
BBC also had it listed at 8pm, which would be 9pm KO in Budapest.

 

Actually want to see Jota in the Tam role, he has both skill and vision for it.

C'mon Ange, you know you want to.

 

It's worth a try at some point.

Not understanding the Jota at 10 push from some. Surely it's out wide where he's dangerous. Kyogo however (I'm pretty sure) has played 10 before. I seem to remember an early interview where he said he liked playing there.

 

Its that pass to Kyogo that Jota made from defensive midfield that still is on the mind of fans.

 

Kyogo at 10 could actually be brilliant.

We need a midfielder who is dynamic, who will run beyond the striker, who will drag defenders out of their position and force them to turn and run in behind.

We've been missing a player like that for years. Too many guys like McCarthy, Bitton, Turnball, even Rogic. We need a guy who will break channels and run behind a striker. He's got the pace and temperament for it.

I just don't know how it fits into Ange's 4-3-3 system

 

High scoring game to be sure.

Ferencvaros NEED to come out and create... Given our defence and our style... They will.

But also leaves a lot of space for our counter and if we play Kyogo through the middle he'll hurt them. And their pretty weak at the back, especially pace wise.

I think Ange will set us up to press the * out of them and close down everything.

My only concern is how much this will take out of our players. Don't give a * about Europa football. League should be our primary and only focus.

But...

4-2 to the good guys. Kyogo hat, and a Jota bullet.

 

* it actually we should change for tonight with so few decent options in centre mid, would be amazed if he dropped Giakoumakis

Fancy Welsh to have a great game tonight.

2-0 Celtic

 

Open the gates, let us in with our mates.

 

Have a good one bud, great city for a * up!

 

Game we could do without, I'd just give players a run out.

A winnable game that could guarantee us European football beyond Christmas, is ''a game we could do without''??
I dont get supporters sometimes. Absolutely buzzing for tonight. Mon the Hoops.

 

I totally agree. We played really well the last time but I was also surprised at how negative they were. That won't be the case tonight as they will know that anything less then 3 points means they are out most likely. Likely to be a very open game I think. We will get chances to win it but the key for me will be can our backline be strong and tight tonight as we will be tested that is for sure.
