SPFL Hibs V Celtic Wednesday February 7th kick off 8PM sky sports football

Already getting the buzz for this, despite the confidence being torn to shreds after the weekend. Manager and captain know things are getting critical and they need to make sure we turn up big time.

Just get the win and ffs start building some momentum.

 

Biggest game for a good while this, the players will have the support its time to repay them.

 

Honestly think we drop points it will break us. And they will go on to win the league.

Can’t see that we have the players that will be up for a dog fight for every point.

Too many shitebags in the team.

 

Yeah it’s absolutely massive. If they win today and we fail to win tomorrow, I think it’s good night and * bless.

They draw and we win, all of a sudden we have the momentum again and a healthy lead. Even if they win, just get the win and we can follow it up with a win at home to Dundee.. then it’s not long until we get Iwata, Maeda, CCV, Taylor, Oh and Yang back. Maeda is probably available for tomorrow anyway I assume.

I was thinking of this as a possibility for tomorrow:

———————-Hart
———Nawrocki Welsh Scales
Johnston——McGregor——-Maeda
————-Bernardo—O’Riley
————-Idah——Kyogo

probably pie in the sky but if I was in the dugout I’d go for it. I’d probably go for Ralston over AJ too tbh.

 

Biggest issue about the Aberdeen game was it was after the transfer window shut. The previous 5? wins were probably bigger but it's always the next game that matters now.

Think we'll do alright tomorrow.

 

We’re looking like we need an early goal to settle us down these days

 

Im confident of a win, even a clean sheet as well, if the Huns win tonight, Im sure the team will be assembled and the importance of every single game hammered home with them how important it is to win them. We are capable of it.

 

The 4-1 game from earlier this season. AJ and Palma both showing that they can get behind their man and whip it in to the striker. Hopefully they can start doing it again especially AJ, he desperately needs a good performance to pick his confidence back up again.

 

Hopefully Maeda is ready to start instead of Palma.

 

Should be a straightforward game, but probably won’t be.

They are a poor team that play wide open, a 4-4-2 with two immobile central midfielders. We should be dominating them.

But we’ve consistently gifted points to teams at their lowest ebb this season. St Johnstone and Motherwell at home, Aberdeen etc.

No result here would surprise me.

 

Can't beat this mob we should just pack it in altogether.. hibs are absolutely *

 

I don't think Rocky should be anywhere near this. He wasn't great on Saturday and was a baw hair away from a red.

I like a 3-5-2, but I worry about a change of formation in such an imprtant match.
I'd go...
Hart
AJ Welsh Scales AR
MOR CalMac Holm
Maeda Idah Kuhn.

A bit harsh on Bernado, but I don't think we can start with the same midfield three as Saturday and Calmac and MOR have produced more.
There's no point in playing Kyogo if he doest get any service. You can have the best gun in the world, but if you don't give it bullets, it's not going to do anything.
Both our Jan signings were underwhelming, but both did enough on Saturday to deserve a start.

 

Would love us to play that set up. If we have a holding midfielder who is fit it would be perfect.

But Rodgers will stick to his same old side to side pish and formation.

 

I keep thinking that we have turned the corner but I've been turning that much this season I'm dizzy as *. Just fecking win Celtic

This game will tell us a lot about the team. If they fail to beat one of the worst Hibs team I've seen for years, then we really are in a bad way however, if we go there, play fast flowing football and win by a few goals then it will help lift all our spirits a wee bit however, it will also be worth highlighting that this is a bad Hibs them and we will come up against far better teams that them in the league run in.

 

Need a real performance here and we have to be much more clinical in front of goal.

 

Hibs lost two goals from set pieces on Saturday and we are absolutely pish at set pieces and between that and pish at penalties I wonder what they do all week on the training ground.

 

No excuses. It has to be a win.

We have the better players, better manager, better form with more to play for.

Hibs play one of 2 ways. Narrow and deep, or wild and attacking. There's no in-between. Ots there for all to see.

Set up accordingly. Get a * a high tempo from the first whistle. This shouldn't be close.
