Ross County v Celtic: Saturday 18th August, 12:15pm

watt was only on for part of the game, and he played some * too . i think its harsh on everyone else to makeout watt was one of the best players . apart from the odd shot wide he didnt do that much . Kayal and commons best for me

 

Well relieved to get a draw, brilliant to keep fighting til the end to grab a last minute draw, but our team lacked creativity, and a proper striker. I think today showed Samaras plays better when he is wide left, they guy isn't a striker for Greece, he is a left winger, we are crying out for a alternative striker.

We lose Hooper and Stokes and we struggle to score, we need an alternative, we also need to sort out this defense, Kelvin Wilson is a back up, nothing more, Lustig isn't a center back, why either of them were chosen instead of Rogne i'm not sure.

It still leaves the thought that we really could do with a new centerback and a new striker, I am also looking forward to seeing Ki back, whether he stays or not, not even Neil Lennon knows, but he is our most creative midfielder, but as already mentioned he might not be here by the time the transfer window closes.

On the bright side, lets hope they got this poor performance out of there systems to go and beat Helsingborgs on tuesday. Bring on Helsingborgs!

 

Sammy can only play as a striker against a team playing a high line so that he has loads of space to run into. His game is not suited to trying to find space against such a packed defence.

He should only start on the left from now on if he is to start at all.

 

County should have won the game, celtic wont get far in the champ league as we have players that arent good enough, but we know this and all i can see is a struggle v Helsingborgs, but at least we play in a league we can win without major money being spent.

 

Ross County is not happy that there was so much injury time added.

 

Ah, read your comment wrong about rather we'd lost, but it was emphasising another point haha, fairy *, enjoy yer swally

 

Missed the majority of the game but not too disappointed with the result.Was more concerned about picking up injuries.Bring on Helsingborgs.

 

Agreed.

The one thing I am taking from today is that Tony Watt should be played upfront before Samaras ever should.

 

Oh, and I think today also shows how vital Brown is to the team. We really missed his drive, energy and motivation today.

 

Anyone wanting this uploaded?

 

We created enough chances to win three games and any team would have struggled to use the ball effectively in that match.

 

Him and Kelvin make me long for the days of Glenda and big Dan.

 

Seeing commons tap that in the net was a huge sigh of relief, have to admit that we were poor today which isn't helped by the injuries. As for derek adams and ross county, your time wasting was your own downfall and that's why there was a minimum of 3 minutes.

 

I thought Bhoy81 said that, but he never so I'm talking *, read it wrong and was responding to him about it.

 

yeah i agree but how ?

i get the feeling some of the teams we play would not come out even if we gave them a couple of goals start

scottish football is very negative

when we play most of the other clubs they will play everyone behind the ball

that is how wee gordon strachan played the patient possesion football moving the ball side to side up and down until the right space opened and we could exploit it. it could get boring to watch but if we played the passes quicker it would be pretty exiting to watch

back to today

we were all over them and deservedly got at least a draw but i wouldn't have bothered much if we'd lost as the game in midweek is much more important

 

* them, I'm not happy that we got a clear penalty denied and that one of their players was not even booked for trying to break Joe Ledley's ankle. Both times the ref was inches away.

 

He's perfectly suited to the away legs in europe or agianst the seriously big guns where we need to have five in the middle of the park.It was a small tight ground,we were missing BROWN and other first teamers , we were not playing that well so it was a good result.I thought victor was a bit slack and kayal was probably our best player.

 

If we reach the CL group stages, this game will be forgotten about within a matter of weeks. Fact. Don't really see the fuss everyone is making over this.

Hooper, Forrest, Stokes and Brown are all key players for us and all were rested today ahead of the midweek game in Sweden. Hooper and Stokes alone would have caused them serious damage today.

Hate the overreaction on here when we don't win a game. No one ever looks at the bigger picture and just come barging in with stupid comments, insulting our players and the like.

 

Obviously happy with a point from that, but you can't deny that there's a noticeable lack of creativity in our squad.
