  1. I would say we are a significantly more functional team than we were 4 months ago. We played right into their hands that day. Saying that we should have never lost that game. We still missed a lot of chances.
  2. Carter-Vickers out apparently. That's a big bonus for us IMO.
  3. Score first and the hostility will move from our players to their board and manager. They are on edge and simply waiting to pounce on Brenda if we come away with anything tomorrow.
  4. Don't know why but I have strange feeling we are going to do well tomorrow. Feel we are due something and there seems to be a belief in the team. Time will tell.
  5. I would honestly take Jermaine Defoe back before wasting time and funds on Silva. Van Veen (or a player of that like) fits the bill IMO. Experienced, knows his way to goal, knows the rigours of our mad game I genuinely hope my words above come back to bite me. I suppose we've got to trust the manager...
  6. Apparently Sima has made the final Senegal squad for the AFCON 24. Can Silva play left side? Or do we witness the 3rd coming of wee Rabbi
  7. With regards to Silva, does anyone see him also coming in off the right side as well as playing as a traditional 9? A lot of the clips show him coming in from that area and he also appears to be 2 footed. Sima on the left side, Silva on the other side, Dessers in the middle with Cantwell in the hole. That's starting to look promising...
  8. Random observation. Surprised he's number 7 as I would have thought that would be a popular number and already be taken. Was Hagi number 7?
  9. I think our recent record v them hasn't been helped by over cautious managers. The last game at Ibrox springs to mind. We are due a win there IMO. The two drubbings under Gio aside, we've always been in the games. We've just been undone by silly defensive errors (Davies) and bad finishing (Sakala). Apply that also to games at Hampden and Ibrox. If we pkay an aggressive press like we did in Seville, I think we can cause them issues. Especially Hart and Taylor. And especially if their big American is injured.
  10. Do the talking on the pitch. That's all that matters. I'm glad Clement has installed a very clear mantra about how we speak to the media. It was noticeable after the LC final with the players/managers interviews. The media were keen to stress the significance of Celtic dropping points in consecutive games but the party line was clear. Talk about what we are doing and have done (Qualify for last 16 EL, win a cup). If we win this league title it will be sweeter than 55 IMO.
  11. Hopefully the fact that we don't have a European game until March will help mitigate any congestion.
  12. Picture from A9 today. For the moonhowlers who inhabit these parts...
  13. I think we need to use the channels and width and attack their FBs. Taylor is there for the taking IMO. Get McCausland to attack, attack, attack!
  14. Use the time well my friend. Gives you time to..."release yo delf" Apologies. I could not resist.
  15. I would honestly take Jermaine Defoe back before wasting time and funds on Silva. Van Veen (or a player of that like) fits the bill IMO. Experienced, knows his way to goal, knows the rigours of our mad game.
  16. Going early as the RC game is cancelled and I'm laid up in bed with Covid (ie. I'm fecking bored). OK. I'll put my cards on the table right away, I'd bite your hand off for a draw right now. Cements our unbeaten run and still enables us to top the league if we win our games in hand. A win however would be dreamland and would lay down a psychological marker... Things to consider... 1. Let's not lose the plot if we lose (as some of our fans tend to do). We are still in the title race regardless of the score. 2. In Jan-Feb they will potentially lose 5/6 players to the Asian Cup and hopefully their respective countries will go deep into the tournament. (They are away to Aberdeen and Hibs during thst period). I think we can take advantage of this if we bring in the right players in the Jan window. Anyhow...my team would be as follows (if fit). *********Butland******* ***Goldson**Balogun*** Tav**************Borna ***Sterling****Lunny*** ********Cantwell******* McCausland*******Sima ********Dessers********
  17. I suppose it rules out any further injuries before we meet that lot.
