  1. Hagi should be playing. Morelos and Kent have both been so poor. Every single attack breaks down with them. Poor touch, dribbling, passing. I’m so tired of it but it is so predictable. At least Hagi can take the ball in to feet in tight spaces, win free kicks and link with Roofe, Aribo and Kamara. Gerrard should make a sub at half time but he almost never does.
  2. Poor from Balogun again, pretty much a free header there
  3. We look like we are improvising when we go forward
  4. Morelos again giving it away in a good position
  5. We are really missing Hagi, a player who can take the ball in to feet in tight spaces. We just aren’t getting the ball up the field with Morelos and Kent, they aren’t providing the options and they aren’t keeping it. Kent has had a couple of breakaway runs but he must have given it away about 10 times.
  6. Kent and Morelos both just giving the ball away a lot so far
  7. I agree that there is a rationale. Especially with this Celtic line-up, pace may be important. I just see Helander as so good I’d always prefer him.
  8. Athletic yes but not physical, Helander is stronger and much better in duels imo.
  9. It’s a really surprising Celtic line-up. It’s all out attack. One thing that isn’t a surprise is Brown not playing. Anyone who has paid any attention to their games know Soro has put that question beyond doubt, he’s a very good wee player IMO. But most of the rest is surprising, no change from the formation they play at home against wee teams. Frimpong and Laxalt could both easily have been replaced with more conservative players, I thought Taylor would player. Bitton ahead of Duffy is a big surprise for me, going for technique over braun at CB. I was convinced they would have Duffy in for set pieces.
  10. I’m very disappointed Hagi and Helander don’t play tbh. Really hoping Morelos/Kent/Balogun prove me wrong but I’m just a wee bit less confident than I was, pinning my hopes on Roofe now.
  11. Simple solution is Kent, Roofe, Hagi.
  12. Not an unlikely line-up though. Brown and Soro playing together would be much more defensive than the diamond they have been playing, but would be a return to the 4-2-3-1 they have played for years. It would be a bit strange though because it would mean McGregor in the 3 and he hasn’t played that far forward in a while.
  13. This is big for me too. Jack is brilliant in games like this. They have replaced Brown with Soro who, to me, looks a very good player. I think he has the potential to emerge as one of their best players, though it is early days. Turnbull and Griffiths have come in and they have both improved their 11 too. That’s not to say we have anything to fear. They have weaknesses throughout their squad but especially across the back 4. But I do think some are getting carried away taking it as a given that we will hammer them.
  14. With a couple more old firms to come I think it would be an acceptable result.
  15. That’s because most of us don’t follow Celtic very closely. They are playing different players and a different formation than they were during their slump. Soro is a major improvement over Brown and Turnbull seems to be a pretty big improvement over Rogic at least at the moment. Griffiths has finally had a run in the team and is clicking with Edouard. Meanwhile our form has dipped quite a bit. I expect a close game.
  16. Helander for me and Aribo playing in the midfield 3 and Hagi in the forward 3. I do feel a wee bit worried without Ryan Jack or even Arfield in the midfield 3 for this game as they probably provide us with more than Aribo defensively.
  17. I can hardly be accused of bias for saying I think Hagi has earned the shirt. That accusation would be more valid in the other direction, people being biased towards him. I see a lot of people saying Hagi is a certainty to drop out for Kent/Morelos and the reasons aren’t to do with current form and performances.
  18. Gerrard hasn’t picked his team yet
  19. There’s Morelos too though. Has he earned a place over Hagi? Not for me, especially with how well Roofe has played centrally.
