Just a quick question:
Are we looking at our Celtic team now, that could be up there with MON (2003) team?

In a word no.

Think we need to see where the season takes us and not get too carried away. just takes a doing on Tues to bring us back to earth . obviously hope am wrong ?.

They'll have watched us umpteen times and know how to nullify what we're good at. Would you rather be playing well in a poor man's league or badly in an elite league? Think it's going to be an intriguing game and hope they don't sicken us in the first ten minutes.

Until. they do something in Europe, I would say no.

@peterBoy - MONs team had monsters playing in that team - Mjallby, Bobo, Joos, Hartson, Sutton, Lennon, Lambert - and then there was the King. The weakness in that team was Bob the Builder. If we had a Boruc or Forster in that team we would have won the final. Now, we've currently got technical tacticians - the monsters would overrun any team put before them. Remember Blackburn and Liverpool were big deals then and we pumped them. Still, it would be a cracking game watching MONs against the current us.

We might be as good as MON’s team but we need to live up to it. When you make a combined 11, Maeda, AJ, Schmeichel and McGregor get in. I know the different formations make it difficult.

Certainly not in central defence and centre forward . present midfield not far off it same as full backs and goalie better.

Current back 5 is probably better equipped for the modern game than 2003 defence. Can you imagine Bobo building from the back.
