Celtic v FC Utrecht,Threads Merged.

Someone wondered how many Utrecht fans will be in Glasgow tomorrow. Someone said he heard from a friend from Utrecht that there will be 3000 fans?? Don't think so... i think there will be 1000 - 1200 Utrecht fans.

Most of the planes are delayed, most of the fans will arrive after midnight.

 

@Farquhar: Celtic absolutely have to win this confrontation. If Utrecht qualifies for the group stage, it would be a big surprise for anyone in Holland. We can play very well in home matches... but when we're playing away we can lose from any club... even a Dutch club at the bottom of the league

So therefore i think our trainer (i really don't like him) will be happy with a draw... don't think he's going to Glasgow to play for the victory.

 

Whos all going tomorrow?!

How much do you all think will be going? How much fans are utrecht bringing over?

 

Hooiveld suspended mate
Dont think Murphy will start
Up front sammi or fortune with mccourt or maloney in the attack midfield/support role

 

Dont know why but i think Celtic will thump this mob tomorrow night ,maybe because i watched the Caley game and seen a team running the game ,if Celtic get a poacher playing tomorrow night [anyone of our strikers] to sit in from 12 yards out i see a 3-4 nil to us ,im not overally impressed by the Dutch although there not bad in front of goal but this game is about how Celtic play and i would'nt change much from the Caley game apart from playing that poacher.

 

Saturdays team did look good(in 2nd half) if suarez plays tonight, who would drop to the bench?

 

If Juarez plays Centre Mid ,i would drop Brown but we know Brown wont be dropped.

 

I'd Go for

Zaluska

Cha Majstorovic Loovens Mulgrew

Brown Juarez


Fortune McCourt/Ledley Maloney

Samaras
​

3-0 Hoops

Sammi with the double and The derry pele with the other​

 

im so * worried about this game

i cant * sleep, im shittin it

canadian ex-celt may be playing for them

Jacob Lensky - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

ATM they dont have an established target man, most goals coming from central midfield and from defenders pushing up into box, corners will be a big threat and zaluksa will have a hard time dealing with this

quite a few of their defenders are good at set-peices, again, their most established central defender is their highest goalscorer (granted hes been there for years but you still see my concern)

IF we can hold out strong in midfield and defense and have say paddy mccourt come on at half time, we should be able to see this out to a 1-0 or 2-0 win

IF we have a formation of say

Zal
cha, maj, loovens(jos is injured) mulgrew(honduran guy if available)
brown
juarez ledly
maloney
fortune sammy

brown will be a constant weak point and fouls will be consistantly given out in dangerous areas, the key to success here is to drop brown

he was excellent vs ICT, but he isnt old enough or experienced enough to be out captain in europe

juarez will be our key player, his long shots have proven to be a threat, if we can utilize his superb defensive abilities, and get him forward on the break enough, he may be our goalscorer, he seems to be taking to a petrov-styled play, box-to box, very promising, but yet to see if it can be effective in the now

maloney is another key player for us, if he can keep up the form from ICT, i can see him banging one in past the keeper

ANOTHER THING, utrecht have the same goalkeeping woes as we do, they have 3 or 4 and all have been there for a while, no one of them having more than 100 appearances, the one with the most seems to be on the same level as zaluska

thats the scouting report(if you could call it that)

 

So... @ what time is kick off???

No Ki? Bah... I had all my confidence in a Midfield with Ki Juárez and Brown.... hehehehhe


P.S. Why doesn't the opening post have the game data???

 

Game

Any clubs from Belfast going to game? I'd like to go

Phone number removed, don't post personal numbers on the forum, supply it through pm

 

A clean sheet could be the differance between progressing or being dumped in this tie.2-0 with paddy scoring another solo:icon_mrgreen:

Meister

 

Must admit i'm slightly bricking it, think it will be hard, but going for 2-0 win, Juarez and Sammy with the goals.

The prospect of going out is unimaginable... Mon the hooops!

 

Both sentences are wrong, Ricky van Wolfswinkel is our highest goalscorer, not a defender, where did you get this info?

Jacob Lensky will play, 100% suire of this, he's an important player for us.
