The general consensus is that we wont get anything out of the game tonight.
It's not the Celtic way to shut up shop and play for a 0-0 draw or to try to keep the damage to a minimum.
The way I see it is we have nothing to lose. I'd much rather be entertained for 90 minutes and get beat by 2 or 3 goals than watch horrible Scottish Fitba and see us lose 1-0
I hope we go in to attack
Forster
Mathews
Kelvin Wilson
Chuck
Mark Wilson
Forrest
Ki
Kayal
Commons
Hooper
Banguara
It was a tough choice between Kayal and Ledley. If the wee man is getting rag dolled or if his head goes down, bring on Joey to keep the calm in midfield.
Forster, Wilson, Chuck, Kayal, Ki and Hooper all have to turn it on tonight and be at there best if we are to stand a chance of getting anything.
Acutally, all the bhoys do but these players in particular.
I also realise that playing 2 strikers who dont know each other that well is contraversial but Hooper can turn it on and Madrid won't know much about Banguara
Tonight

i like the way you are pretending that celtic play entertaining football in european away matches
never ever happened has it?

pollocks my opinion is my opinion and when I say I want to be entertained, I mean by celtic.
if everyone is accepting the fate we are going to lose. Id rather lose 5-2 and see us scoring a couple ourselves than getting beat 1 or 2 nil

so you hope celtic can play entertaining football tonight?
never happened before and highly unlikely to start here i would imagine
celtic fans like to pretend to themselves that they somehow play more attacking entertaining football than other teams in scotland but it's not real

We do
Lennon on tonights game, sounds like we might actually go out and attack B-ollocks doesn't it?
"I'm looking for the players to express themselves and show some technical discipline as well. I want us not to shoot ourselves in the foot. I want us not to get beat. We are not going there to defend because I think it is impossible to do that anyway. If you do that, you just invite wave after wave of pressure.
"With the players we have, I don't think it's in their mindset to do that. But I want them to show they are capable of competing at this level.
"We have been very fortunate to get a second chance. For the lads who didn't play so well in Sion, it is a good chance of redemption. It's a Champions League standard group in any other year.
"These are the games we want to play in to develop this team. This is a good chance, as part of their development, to get redemption."

why do we use sammy in only the important matches. far from first choice and no doubt, far from fit due to lack of match practice!
ok, maybe best we have for playing one up front but we also play him with hooper...
cant figure it out!
