Brendan has had it tight on these pages myself included, but the players finally turn up and play how he wants begs the question why last night, engels was immense he looked like an 11m pound player maybe the players should take more responsibility for our poor performances because the manager will have been crying out for that display and finally they find some form, the line up at tynecastle will be interesting.
{Ed007's Note - No AJ, CCV or Maeda ?

I would start Murray because it’s too early for Trusty.
KT will probably start at Tynecastle but won’t play the full game after his 90 minutes last night.
Schmeichel
Donovan, Murray, Scales, KT
Engels, Calmac, Hatate
Nygren, Kenny, Tounekti
That starting lineup has 3 defenders brought through from the Celtic Academy.

Eneacho as well mate need to be jenny snd young Donovan with either Murray or trusty, and thus is their big chance to really show up in a presdurised atmosphere.

For me there was definitely a tactical change last night. The ball was definitely moved forward far quicker, there was more passes trying to break yhe lines rather than sideways, less keeping possession just for sake of it, striker spent more time in the box and the ball was crossed more than any other game this season.

Yes, until we went in front and reverted back to the turgid "possession" football. Even after they went down to 10 men, we still never went for the 3rd and 4th goals which would have secured the points. Instead we suffered a nervy last 10 mins, hoping they didn't equalise!

Celtic had 5 attempts at goal from 80 minutes onwards according to the BBC live reporting.
Yes Celtic didn’t score but we definitely went after that 3rd goal.

Part of the reason I believe we were on the front foot was that sturm didn't park the bus. Usually in domestic games when we get to the halfway line it's total congestion and very difficult to play through. Need both wingers playing well and getting decent crosses in to someone. Both Kenny and Nygren could have scored 3 each last night.

They also played a diamond, gave us a bit more wiggle room.

Buzz, a really fear for us and the boy Murray if he starts, this is going to b a very physical, fast and hard game that could have a big impact on the boy. of course a would love him to have a great game if he plays but what av seen of him a don't rate him any btr than Welsh.

Murray is a big physical bhoy also have Pusey?

Nonsense that we took the foot off after going in front.
We should have scored at least 3 more after that.
