A team has been leaked. No idea how legit it is - Ed and others might know. Anyway Brown starts. Hopefully it's nonsense.
01 Jan 2021 20:44:50

01 Jan 2021 20:51:46
Barkas
Frimpong Ajer Duffy Taylor
Christie Brown Soro Calmac Turnbull
Edouard.

not the team for me but it does look solid if not maybe a bit safe.
01 Jan 2021 21:14:28
Duffy hasn't played for a few weeks so that looks dubious whether true or not and why go back to an isolated Eddy up front - when we have seen the improvement in him and the team with Griff there?
Whatever team he puts out - we have to win this game; no excuses.
01 Jan 2021 21:14:55
I like that lineup and it’s good enough to win Celtic the game.
There’s maybe more control about that lineup because we don’t want to take the chance of getting picked off.
Celtic are certain to win the midfield battle with that lineup and we will have 3 midfielders making runs to partner Edouard.
And Lennon will always have the option to change it at any time.
If he does change the formation and we lose,
Lenny will get heavy criticism.

I'd still prefer griffiths in instead of Brown. In any case, who is leaking the team?
01 Jan 2021 22:04:34
Brown shouldn’t play as he will spend his time winding up Morelos and Kent. He has to start with Eddy and Griff as they will be happy with a draw. We have to win.
I just hope that NL can match SG tactics as he outsmarted him in the last couple of games.

Hi guys, if the leaked team is true then looks to me Lennon is more worried about what they can do to us than how we can hurt them. Chemistry with griff and Eddie is there to see and they both must start for me. Ajer right back with frimpong right mid. No arfield and jack weakens there middle and I think we can exploit that with turnbull finding pockets of space. I think kamara will be given the task of picking turnbull up which for me will allow more space for frimpong to run at barisic. The wee man has been more attack minded past few games he’s the only width we have and will be wasted at rb. They don’t like 4-4-2 motherwell and hibs have proved that there past 2 home games. We need to win tomorrow so let’s play to our strengths and not worry about them. ðŸ€ðŸ€ðŸ€.

The midfield battle will be won by the team that has the best midfield, not necessarily by the team that has the most players in midfield, the best midfield will be the one that has the right blend, with players that compliment each other, Brown in that midfield, disrupts the flow, slows down and strangles the forward movement, unless he is playing further back, as a kind of third centre half, to help out the dreadful pairing of Ajer and Duffy.
Can't see this being anything like the real team lineup, maybe it's fake news being out by Lenny to confuse Gerard, he must play Ajer at right back, and Bitton and Duffy, in the middle, and Taylor at left back,
01 Jan 2021 22:16:28
Julien is out so it's Duffy. He better have his epl heed on.
01 Jan 2021 22:55:46
If this turns out to be true its worrying. Who is the leak? The team is everywhere, hopefully lennon has leaked this him self hoping rangers take the bate.
02 Jan 2021 09:37:14
That’s the thing that worries me most. Rangers have a formation they stick to and their starting 11 is easy to predict as it’s a settled team.
We don’t know our best formation, defensive pairing or who plays through the middle, lots of big decisions to make for Lennon.
If leaked team is correct you have to assume there’s a Sevconian on the books at our club as this happens so regularly it’s embarrasing.
