Early days but I haven't been overtly impressed by him so far. Hopefully just taking time to adjust

If you can control the midfield in these games you generally come out on top. Davis, Kamara and Lundstram works for me.

Davis is a calm head when all around will be bedlam. And he is an exceptional footballer as he proved on tuesday. If we can get 60 minutes from him, I'll be happy.

Agreed. We can't afford any passengers or players getting caught on the ball. Big calls to make from Gio.

I like Tillman a lot but feel he is still too slow on the ball and takes too many touches. That won't work in today's game IMO. If he plays, I hope he proves me wrong.

Airfield has to start IMO. He's our biggest goal threat after Colak and Tav. Kent seems to have forgotten where the goals are. ---------- McLaughlin--------- -----Goldson-------Sands----- Tav---------------------Barasic -------Davis---Lundstram------ -------------Arfield------------- Wright----------------------Kent ---------------Colak------------ Tillman is still too slow IMO. Davis and Arfield are warriors who knows these games well.

I can imagine the inflated energy prices are also impacting our spending. How much energy is used to keep grounds operational? It must be substantial.

I quoted Han Solo before the PSV game as I genuinely had "a bad feeling about this". Oh ye of little faith. That being said, I have a similar bad feeling about tomorrow however that's more an irrational OF thing. If we had just won the treble and the Champions League and the Tims were struggling at the bottom of the league, I would still be anxious about going to that dump.

Oh I get it... My comments are not a judgement on Ridvan. He's not played enough to judge him but if we are spending 5 million on an International player I would expect him to go straight into the team. It's seems to be no problem for the Tims.

Can you explain Syntax?

Celtic 1 Rangers 1 FGS Kent

I'm also rather bemused by the fact that we've spent nearly 6/7 million on 2 guys that have been bit part players so far. Granted Davies has a knock but I thought we were signing Ridvan based on the premise that he was upgrade on Barasic. It seems he is regarded as a player with potential. Can we afford to pay that money for a player with potential?

I'm genuinely surprised we haven't explored options for an additional striker. If Colak picks up a knock we have an overweight striker who is nowhere near match fit or we have a striker that sadly spends most of his time on the treatment table. It's a risky strategy IMO.

I should think so. He cost a fair wad and has nearly 60 top flight games to his name (Including 6 full internationals).

Not sure...

Playing a back 3?

I would hope it is a bit more imaginative and creative than that.

Hard to get enthused about this game considering the 4 games that follow. The next 4 games after this will go a long way to shaping our season IMO.

Thanks!

Will the Tims be playing their away game in Ukraine? Hopefully a neutral venue like Baku...

Just a wee observation regarding Liverpool. Klop tends to play quite experimental teams in the CL depending on what Match day it is (And if they have qualified). It will be interesting to see when we play them in the fixture schedule.

Are Napoli not unbeaten at home in the CL over the last 3 years?

He's not Mane

Bigger picture perspective... Hopefully this victory will be the shot in the arm we need to wake from our domestic lethargy.

Is Ronaldo still looking for CL football? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
