[Official TC Thread] Anderlecht v Celtic, Champions League, 27th September, Kick Off 19:45. Live BT Sport

I'm hopeful for at least a draw!! Will be tough though.

 

Aye alright, Ernesto Guevara!

 

Honestly don't fancy us at all, just seen the same horror movie so many times.

Come Wednesday and a few beers I'll pile on us to win though no doubt.

Plenty of energy, speed and hard work (and no little skill) in that team. Much as I love Roberts and Rogic, they lack the fitness and work rate to get back when we are under pressure.

Great options to bring on later if we fancy rolling the dice and going for a win.

 

If Brown has another showing like yesterday then I would be confident.

 

How you can question Paddy's work rate is mental.

Forrest won't keep a ball as well as Roberts does, likewise Stu with Rogic

 

I doubt Brendan is going to throw Dembele into this game, after only 70 mins of gametime since he's came back from injury. Griff will be starting IMO..

 

If we play anything like yesterday then my prediction of 0-3 will probably be right.

If we up our game then I don't see us winning but possibly a 1-1.

​

We play our own game, an attacking, pressing game and although we will probably concede with these tactics, we must play to the philosophy that a game is won by scoring more goals than the opposition. This team has goals in it, lots of goals. We have Paddy to come off the bench too. If we turn up right from the start like we did against Man City last year, I can see us having a spectacular night. Mon Celtic

 

He's not up to full sharpness yet, that's clear.

Fully fit and on form Forrest is the better option for me in this game.

 

Nah, we controlled the game yesterday but the Huns are *, we need to play a lot better on Wed if we want to get a result..

 

Can't see up playing 2 up top on Wed.. and I'm certain Ntcham will start..

 

Rosenberg and Astana remain our most important games this season and no matter what the rest of the season brings that will remain the case.

But these two games v Anderlecht will give us an indication on where we are as squad and as a club, huge games..

 

I'd say Forrest gives the ball away less than Paddy.

I'd say Forrest is far better at keeping the ball. Roberts runs down far too many blind alleys.

 

He takes less chances and will often just play it simple..

 

And in Europe can get isolated leaving us vulnerable to the counter attack..

Paddy has I improved the defensive side of the game but it isn't as good as Forrests.

Forrest for 60 then Paddy or before if the game isn't going to plan..

Could play both with Paddy given a central free role to link the play..

 

Would go with Forrest rogic combo ,rogic to be our link to make the ball stick and drive forward waiting on support from Stu, ,Armstrong and Forrest needed for pressing and legs .
