Can anyone remind me Kris Boyd prediction on Leigh Griffiths career when he'd time off again please? 😝.

Believable1 Unbelievable0

07 Mar 2020 21:36:57
Boyd is that thick, he would probably try and take some credit for Leigh Griffiths playing well and scoring goals.

So after that today I think we definitely have to go with griff and eddy from the start . If we go 352 I don't know if I would play Forrest right wing back tho and the other question mark is do we play with a number 10 or not if it was me I would drop Christie back in along side brown and McGregor and just make a 3in the middle against there 3 . We know they are going to try and flood the midfield and under no circumstances should we surrender the midfield or be outnumbered again in the middle . What's your thoughts guys?

Believable1 Unbelievable0

07 Mar 2020 18:20:32
where else would you play Forrest and why would you play Christie anywhere other than his best position🤔.

Agree1 Disagree0

07 Mar 2020 19:09:34
We have been over run in the middle the last two games against them and I think just match them in the middle and don’t get outnumbered and we will control the game Malky. With eddy and griff up top and there movement we will cause havoc in there defence. The reason for Forrest is he hasn’t been the greatest against them this season and he isn’t the greatest defensively in my opinion. What way would you go against them? I just hope we don’t go back to 4231 we are to predictable when we play it.

Agree0 Disagree0

07 Mar 2020 19:45:24
I don't think it is as simple as just matching them in the middle though is it, if we play 3 at the back against their 433 and we don't win the midfield battle we will be even more exposed at the back withers their 3 against our 3.

Agree0 Disagree0

07 Mar 2020 20:04:27
I hope it's the 352 as we will cause all sorts of problems as they will be dreading our visit as their confidence is shattered. Forrest is our best right sided player and I'd go with Ntcham over Christie in the No.10 role if fit.

Agree1 Disagree0

07 Mar 2020 20:22:25
I would prefer Ntcham to Malky but is he going to be fit? I like Forrest going forward it’s just when he has to defend I worry and he hasn’t been great against them. The one thing I would say is it’s got to be 352 to get griff and eddy in the team.

Agree1 Disagree0

07 Mar 2020 23:01:32
352 will work if forest stays wide he’s the weakest link in that formation wanders into the middle too much.

Agree0 Disagree0

08 Mar 2020 00:47:14
Said to my mate earlier. 352. elhamed, Bitton, Jullien, Ajer, hayes

Brown Calmac ntcham

Griff eddy

Go solid to start. Forrest, moi, Rogic, Christie all ready from the bench.

Changing to 352 in the second half of the season for most games has been great and the management team deserve great credit for realising something has to change and making the change. But for next week I am honestly left pulling my hair out as to which system to go with. 352 has been used mostly against way inferior opposition to us.

When we play them they will be fired up and will be no ST. Mirren. And what worries me is the only time we have played 352 against better standard opposition (Copenhagen) they beat us 3-1 and left us exposed at the back. Ed do you think playing 352 will leave us to exposed against them or would you go with it?

I still knew he could get back where he was. He certainly looks it now. He deserves it. Bleeds our club.

07 Mar 2020 21:06:32
@mally, NL has had his own mental health problems and understood how to help Griff, I don't think any other manager could have got him back to where he is now so well done NL 👏👏👏👏👏.

Why the negative we've just won 5-0 16 points clear and 26 goals better off. youll see them next season why would you drop the guys that have grafted to get us where we are.

Agree1 Disagree0

07 Mar 2020 18:31:49
Just by signing them might push others harder knowing that their place might be up for grabs.

Agree1 Disagree0

07 Mar 2020 19:56:26
Yet all we heard during the window was we need to get players in now to settle for the CL qualifying games.

Agree0 Disagree0

07 Mar 2020 22:49:31
They'll have had 6 months to learn about the club the system the manager. get digs sorted the weather and I tho k we'll see them before the season is out.

Agree0 Disagree0

07 Mar 2020 14:06:26
I can see why some people question NL as a great manager.
He finds it almost impossible to change either tactics or personnel
He constantly picks his favourites and sticks to two setup no matter what.
He only makes changes to either when forced by defeats or injuries.
I was really hoping that he would play new players today, It was the ideal oppertunity to rest players and offer something new.
my team today would have beeen
Bain Elhamend Simunovic Bitton
Frimpong Soro Christie Bolingoli
Rogic Griffiths and Bayo

That would have surprised the opposition and give our first chioce a break before next week

He could have filled the bench with players like Welsh Church Mcinroy Robertson Dembele Oko Flex and Kilmala

These players should at Celtic park have too much for St Mirren otherwise why did we pay good money for them.

Believable0 Unbelievable1

07 Mar 2020 14:15:27
Yeah he could, but then if we were to get beat you and loads of others would be on hear moaning that he did it,
Top off the league, on our way to a quadruple treble, and people still moan and complain, I can’t understand that

In Lennon I trust 👍.

07 Mar 2020 14:15:37
jonace mate tie up 9iar then experiment. but untill then it has to be his strongest 11.

Agree6 Disagree0

07 Mar 2020 14:28:52
Exactly Robroy. Play your strongest 11 every game until the leagues wrapped up then experiment.

Agree3 Disagree0

07 Mar 2020 14:37:54
Jonace now is not the time to start messing about with team selection. Win today and beat that mob next week, then yes maybe then Lennon can introduce the fringe players 👍.

Agree3 Disagree0

07 Mar 2020 14:40:30
Thank the almighty you ain't picking the team. Fire out a full second string team in an important league game.

Agree5 Disagree0

07 Mar 2020 14:44:05
Jonace. Lennon done great calm down. Now you are judging him on what he's not done anything wrong except win a cup top of leahue and we could win the league as for the rangers game don't care about the result as long as we win the league.
No dramatic changes till mathematics step in. As usual some Celtic fans never happy he's not done much wrong we are winning aren't we just look at the great unwashed that could be us all that matter is we win the league then try the new guys.

Agree0 Disagree0

07 Mar 2020 14:54:14
I see what you]re saying about resting players, but I think with a 13 point lead, NL sees this as a great opportunity to go sixteen clear - if only for a day - and put additional pressure on an already fragile and fractured Sevco. If the chasm - sorry gap - had been closer, going to Govan next week, he probably would have rested a few.
Today we resume the Griff and Eddy partnership and if we manage to build up a wee lead, there will be substitutions as a precaution.

Agree2 Disagree0

07 Mar 2020 17:13:49
I am hoping this guy is on the wind up 😂.

Agree2 Disagree0

07 Mar 2020 18:01:40
We win by 5 and still there is something wrong with the the manager’s selection. He is putting the league beyond doubt, taking no chances given that we have a round of 5 matches after the split against the best in the league. Consistancy on the pitch and widen the gap to the second place team is what counts. I believe if you think the manager is doing something wrong then really you should see a shrink and determine if you are a Celtic supporter of not, maybe consult a genealogist and see if there is some blue blood in your line, then you can move on and leave Celtic alone.

Agree1 Disagree0

07 Mar 2020 18:07:07
He walked out, said he was better than 2 players that he named, he is gone, I don’t think he will pull on the shirt again, of course it’s football and he could apologize and we could have injuries, but the first 2 million will see him out the door.

Agree0 Disagree0

07 Mar 2020 18:24:58
If Lennon fielded your team Jonace we would be wanting him sacked😂😂.

Just hoping he ain’t a replacement for calmac Ed, I’d be well raging if he got sold 👍.

{Ed007's Note - There will be a lot of interest in McGregor this summer and the lad will have a huge decision to make.}

07 Mar 2020 12:10:31
3-5-2 today do we think
Forster
Ajer
Jullien
Bitton
Forrest
Brown
McGregor
Christie
Taylor
GrOff
Edouard.

Believable2 Unbelievable0

07 Mar 2020 12:18:53
Think he needs to drop Taylor, he is woeful! No pace, can't take a man on, dodgy defending, n looks scared when he gets the ball. At one point against livi when they had a corner he was running back n forward in the box not knowing what to do or who to mark.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - Taylor wouldn't be marking anyone at a corner, he'd be covering a "zone".}

07 Mar 2020 13:56:20
Using 352 I would definitely like to see Boli used in this formation where the emphasis is more on attack than defence, definitely suit him more I reckon.

Agree1 Disagree0

07 Mar 2020 18:38:59
Jonace! Are you for real? Just as well Lennon DOES pick the team!

Ok here a question.

If this squad wins the treble again and the majority go on to win 10 in a row!

Is this then the greatest squad on our history?

What they have done is just incredible.

Believable1 Unbelievable0

07 Mar 2020 10:18:54
Nope not for me mate! Absolutely fantastic achievements by this squad and the level of consistency has been remarkable! But the lions are way in front and the team that reached Seville were head and shoulders above this team!

Agree3 Disagree0

07 Mar 2020 10:40:17
The lions without doubt who conquered Europe while winning all domestically. but it will be an amazing feat in this day and age.

Agree0 Disagree0

07 Mar 2020 11:53:09
If you]re measuring it by success, then the current squad has got to be right up there, but if you're looking at success, quality of players and degree of difficulty of opponents The Lions rule supreme.

Agree0 Disagree0

07 Mar 2020 14:30:10
3rd behind the Lions and the Seville team for me.

Agree0 Disagree0

07 Mar 2020 14:48:13
Depends on your age. But it's this squad for me about 7 of them lads have been doing it consistently and every year. New history books already written lads.
