[Matchday] Celtic v Aberdeen Wednesday 17th February 6PM Celtic TV

Probably the same team as today 2-0 Celtic.

 

jesus will the players turn up for this one

i think we need soro in the team even if brown is there

dont trust mcgregor defensively and think hes better in the attacking third anyway

bain
kenny welsh ajer taylor
brown soro
turbull christie mcgregor
eddie

 

I imagine Duffy and Brown will both keep their places, match fitness of any other player must be poor at this stage, so assuming Lennon can keep a coherent thought for 4 days, this will be the case.
Does he start two up top though? Doubt it as well, he will see it as a game to be cautious with and "pack the midfield" with 4 attacking mids.

Aberdeen are no mugs and will know we struggle and only getting results against diddy teams right now, they'll come at us, pressure Brown and Duffy in to mistakes and it will be a tight game.

score draw.

 

Aberdeen have gone 535 minutes without a goal. It would likely be a straightforward win in normal circumstances.

 

Hazard (Bain's a wee diddy)

Kenny
Welsh (no explanation)
Ajer
Connell (give him a try)

Soro (back in sitting and refreshed)
Turnbull
Christie (don't like him but made an impact the last 2 game's. Try him and Davie as attacking 8's)

Klimala (give him a shot from the right with his pace, runs and pressing. We have no right width otherwise)
Ajeti (needs game's)
Edouard (does my * in but scores)

4-3-3 and get us away from that torturous, dysfunctional diamond..

 

Will Bitton or Welsh be available?

 

Hopefully the former isn't..

 

I would sooner start Bitton than Duffy (although that is true of any mammal with a head).

 

Fortunately they are worse than us , Is Jamesy bhoy in contention to be in the squad for this one ?

 

That Implies that you'd be happy with Duffy playing if Welsh isn't fit.....

 

I'd rather go with 10 men..

 

What?

 

Weird feeling we'll pump them, hopefully see Welsh, Hazard and Soro starting.

 

Sorry m8, got your post mixed up with someone else's and just seen the Bitton and Duffy part

 

Brown
Mcgregor Brown Mcgregor Brown
Mcgregor Brown Mcgregor Brown
Mcgregor Brown


I imagine we will go with that although maybe play a diamond ​

 

Thankfully I shouldn't be able to get a stream for this

 

All things considered,id say its a very weird feeling.

 

I would like to see Klimala on the right as well but no way would that possibility even enter Lennon’s head.

He plays midfielders as strikers and midfielders as centre backs but he would never play a striker (with winger qualities) as a winger. And that’s Neil Lennon for you. Incoherent and daft.

 

Preferably Eden hazard
