[Matchday] Scottish Cup Final- Celtic V Hearts, Sunday 20th Dec, KO 14:15

I think him and eddie play well together and got the team motoring after the winter break get them both starting and fire on all cylinders, I think we are all sick of waiting until 60-65 mins at 0-0 with no subs made. Play on the front foot, play positive and try and get a steady team selection instead of constant tinkering, them other * have a settled first 13 players and it shows in their results. I believe that if they don't drop any points before our game the league is toast, and the fear would be if they go 1-0 up in the jan game they will happily sit back and take a draw which would not suit us at all.

Hibs, Aberdeen and St J game were so costly even winning 2 of those fs.

Hopefully Mikey J has matured and became a team player, he does offer us that little bit of zing coming in from the wings, if he can be more direct he can be a real asset.

One game at a time win them all - no Europe now so a good chance to recover for each game and mentally prepare.

1 - 3 - 5 - 2 (preferred formation)

New keeper :big fraser or Darren Randolph

Ajer / Jullien / New defender in Jan (Duffy / Bitton when required)

Frimp: Soro: Turnbull: McGregor: Laxalt (Christie, Mikey J, Rogic, Brown,Taylor)

my only worry about our midfield is physical nature esp in the huns games in the long run we need a strong athletic runner 18-18 yard box who can control games, this is what we lack esp in European games.

Eddie : Griff (Ajeti as backup)

Jan:
sell Ntcham - been a let down this last 12 months
sell: El Hamed - I like him but personal reasons

in: new GK:
in: new defender:
in: new rb

In games if 3-5-2 isn't working go to a 4-4-2 or 4-4-1-1 - I think we look good with ajer in rb he excels in it, can bomb down the line and is effective.

Over to you lennon… I am hoping for a 3-0 pumping and would love griff and eddie on the scoreboard this weekend! lets start to turn the screw and see what Jan brings

Got zero buzz for this. Brutal truth..

 

This is about more than 1 game. Its about building momentum going to the * pit on the 2nd. Cause if we lose that, 10 is is dead. The slight spark we have, shouldn't be extinguished for sentiment. It's always about looking to the future and bigger picture. There is zero reason to change. If Lennon does. It shows weakness. Another reason he should be punted.

 

On a heavy Hampden pitch in the middle of winter with the maroon hammers throwers from the Championship getting ripped into our players without any support from the ref, cause this will be part of their game plan, turning it into a pub game, this is the perfect game for the old war horses to get stuck in and battle for the win. I don't want to see any of our finesse younger players picking up a knock or anything else. Save the best of our young talent for the campaign.

 

I've stopped thinking about the 10 because I unfortunately don't think we'll turn it around, reckon the rest of the season is more about building for next year now because of the * displays and managerial * show from the start of the season, but I'm much more up for this than I've been for the Euro games when it was still possible to qualify. * hate Hearts, hope we destroy them. The players better be up for it.

 

Was in the same boat prior to the Lille game.

I'm not kidding myself on that we or Lennon have turned a corner just yet but at the very least the last 2 performances have seen an improved effort.

In times in our history we've went years without a trophy and even though we were robbed of a massive celebration in May and this season has gone Pete Tong,.I've calmed down a wee bit and looking forward to hopefully winning another trophy and putting the diets back in their box.

The thought of Levein, Naismith, Halliday and Gordon all seething on Sunday night is a brucey bonus

 

11 trophies done in a row. Roll on the Glorious 12th

 

You know Brown is starting, don't fight it

 

Hazzard

Elhamed
Taylor
Jullien
Ajer

Brown
McGregor
Turnbull

Christie
Edouard
Johnston

 

Beaton is the ref. Expect a few more honest mistakes.

 

Couldn’twriteit/1

 

You know by the time Sunday kick off time comes along you'll recover your loss of buzz and cheer on the Hoops like the rest of us.

 

My * *.

 

Can always rely on Metrobhoy for a laugh.

 

Still not stickied!

Back the team, sack the mods!

 

Cool..

 

If lenny wants to play the guys who got us there then by that logic he should drop the players who let us down all season.But up till the introduction of Soro and turnbell we have more or less seen the same losers every week.

We cant afford to carry passengers and sadly Broony has been nothing but a passenger recently,as things stand he hasnt been doing the job on the pitch and doesn't deserve his place,its that simple.

Looking at it from lenny point of view(which i think is wrong)i would leave Broony on the bench and if we have a comfortable lead with 20 to go then give him a runout.

Every single players needs to know if you dont keep up the standards/play well your dropped,and youll only come back if you show whats required,no exceptions. Imagine broony in training if he knew he was playing against hearts regardless of how he trains?and imagine if he was told your out unless we see something to convince us otherwise,i think you would see a different animal.

 

Maybe no then
