[Official TC Thread] Barcelona vs Celtic, Tuesday 13/09/16, 19.45. BTSport3

This will be back to earth with a bump. But the warm memory of those five glorious goals on Saturday will soften the landing.

 

Far too attacking, can you imagine Efe going for a wander? It would leave us wide open.

 

Realistically we will be doing well to come out this game only beaten by 3 clear goals, this is where barca come alive.

Unrealistically i cant get 1-1 out my head

They had a shocking result against alaves, managing 2 shots on target the whole game! I cant work out if this is a good or bad thing.

Good because it shows us they are not the invincibles they once were, and takes a bit of sting out their tail.

Bad because when do barca lose 2 games in a row? Particularly at the nou camp? Just hope they dont fancy giving someone a revenge pumping :smiley-laughing002:

 

Brendan Rodgers now speaking: "As a manager in every game you have to believe you can get a positive result.


BR: "We respect that this is arguably the best team in the world with a front three that is maybe one of the best of all time.


BR: "I know working with Luis (Suarez) on his own that he’d occupy a back four on his own. Put Neymar and Messi in and it’s difficult.


BR: "What I’ve seen in our team is that they have a real hunger and desire to do well.



BR: "We respect this will be a really difficult game but it’s the type we want to be involved in.


BR: "Have to come up with a plan to get a positive result.


BR: "Every game is different, whether Scotland or Europe.


BR: "There are teams much stronger than ourselves have come here and had to work differently. We must respect that.


BR: "We put pressure on ourselves because if you want to be successful you need to play with pressure.



BR: "No matter who or where we play we have to play without fear.



BR: "We're really looking forward to it and this is a game we want to work well in.



TR: “We performed well at the weekend and we have had momentum building for some time.


TR: "In a good place at the minute and we have quality in the squad. Feel we are ready to come here now.



TR on Barcelona being defeated at the weekend: "Not ideal for them but a top side with quality players, be looking to bounce back.



TR: "Aware of that & challenge. One of the best side’s in the world but we have reason to believe we have quality to get a result.


TR: "It was a fantastic result but we move on. I’m enjoying working with the manager and am looking forward to the future.


TR on playing in Camp Nou: "Something pretty special as a player and something to look forward to and enjoy. A special occasion.


TR: "Want to be in the #UCL and games we want to play in. We have a lot of big games coming up.

 

BR will pick the team and change it accordingly as the game progresses. Hope we make a fist of it. Hope to see Tommy on the park. He's got the ability to cause problems to any team. He was our most comfortable performer in the friendly in Ireland

Would be incredibly harsh on rogic, but we need to go 5 at the back I think. And then Roberts and Sinclair provide the pace and quality going forward on the occasions we are attacking them.

 

I'm not sure if Lustig is going to have the legs for this after Saturday unless it's as a centre half. We'll certainly see a debut from Gamboa at some point.

 

Gamboa has to play for me, not only to allow us to go 5 at the back but to allow each flank able to get us up the field too.
