[Matchday] Livingston v Celtic Sunday March 6th Sky Sports Football kick off 12Pm

this for me. But maybe O’Riley to start and Rogic on at 60mins. Feel like O’Riley puts himself a bout a bit more defensively and expecting a bit of a battle. Let them tire then big Tam comes on for a 25yard screamed to make it 2-0

@Blochairnbhoy how much you putting on Livi double chance then?

 

Hope to * it isnt this team.

 

Surely has to go with a DM and McGregor further forward every time from now on, everyone can see the clear benefit and it's been shown to work better already, just unfortunate Bitton is the only DM around. As for Livi i'd bring Ralston back in and hopefully Giakoumakis. * knows what will happen.

 

They are a big strong team and will try to bully us we need to be up for a battle or totally out play them with fast football, no side to side pish for 90 minutes.
Actually can’t believe I’m saying this but this could be a massive game for us.

 

If maeda starts up top alone then the game is already a bogey.

Will will hit high balls to him all day long expecting him to act as a towering target man.

Oft would be more confident playing any other team they have a hex over us. We will drop points hopefully just draw keep some sort of lead

 

Said a while back the two games that will decide things this season will be livi and the wife beaters...get a win and a draw from the other one and only celtic can stop us winning it. Badly badly need some strikers back and something other than high crosses over maedas head.

 

Won't be able to get a ticket as sadly I'm not a season ticket holder. I will be going but will need to sit in the livi end. Anyone else in the same position and if so where are you sitting?

 

Pure optimism but perhaps Livi won’t be as defensive given the fact they’re on a good run of form.

Anyway, we need to be relentless from the first whistle. The first 5-10 minutes are crucial. If we give them a chance to get a foothold and settle into their shape then it will be another difficult afternoon.

At the end of the day, we don’t deserve to win the league if we can’t beat Livi.

Not just because of recent performances but feel Ange needs to do something different here. Whether it’s shape or personnel. Personally I don’t see the need to have 4 defenders when Livi will leave 1 up the pitch for most of the game. If we go there with the same game plan as usual, we become more predictable which plays into their hands.

3-4-3

Push full backs high and wide to create overloads / allow Jota and Forrest to get close to ST.

 

I'm not going but I done this a couple of seasons ago and it was fine. Plenty other tims in the Livi end so don't worry about it.

 

They’re on a good run of form lately and seem to be our bogey team as they’re the only team we’ve not beat this season.If we take our chances we’ll win as they won’t threaten our defence much.

 

Would love to see them go down as I hate their pitch, their style of play and their wee baldy hun supporting manager but they're now up to 4th now so can't see that happening

 

Last 5 games at the Tony Macaroni.

76 shots and 41 corners = 4 goals and 3 points.

 

It's about time we smashed these *.

 

That is a depressing statistic

 

Sounds like they've ridden their luck tbh. Averaged 15 shots per game and only scored 3.

I wouldn't mind if they play decent football but they don't and their pitch is *.

* Livi.
