Tonights Squad

I don't often post things on here but tonight's game was reason enough to change that, just wanted to see if many people agree with me.

I honestly believe that celtic had the potential to win comfortably tonight and make it easy for ourselves next week however I still believe we can go through because for as poor as we were in the final third we dominated play an sion never really looked like scoring, the only player out of the starting elven I thought justified their start was Big Dan.

Wilson on the left was pointless because he didnt once hit the by line and at every chance had to cut in which lead no where.

Stokes was equally poor out wide and should have started an out an out striker.

Commons cant play right and when he moved in center used every chance he got to balloon a shot in row 'zz'

Samaras..... I understand he can be useful with the whole hold the ball out draw defenders out etc, but the fact is he is a striker he doesnt score and he created very few chances for stokes so he is as we know a waste of a shirt.

The entire teams movement was very very poor and every attack came from the wings even though we had no half decent wingers on the correct wings.

I would liked to have seen paddy start just behind stokes although his fitness is an issue, however he is completely wasted when he is subbed on at 80minutes because by the time he actually gets on the pitch an the other team run down the clock he plays only 5minutes.

Anyway I wont go on even though there's plenty more to be said,

Any thoughts ?

My summary of the match against Sion is as follows.

Frustrating night overall.

We were missing K.Wilson, Kayal, Izzy, Hooper

As a result, we played too many players out of position

Commons, Chuck, Wilson, Stokes, Samaras were all well below their best. They can play a lot better even if they are not in their preferred role.

A lone striker, Sammy, with Stokes stuck out on the left wing was clearly not working and should have been changed after 20 minutes.

Sammy actually did well as the target man and won most balls in the air, but had no one to feed off this.

Maloney looked capable when he came on.

If we are going to play Paddy, for goodness sake don't wait until the 80th minute. This is waste of time.

Impressive performances from Ki and Ledley

0-0 isn't great but we are still very much in this tie.

Keep the faith!

its a good point on samaras, as I said he does have his uses but I honestly think we would have been better with samaras and stokes swapping positions last night
