Game against Barca..

Scottish Premier Celtic
by U10779491 18 February 2008
comment on the article

What do you all say about taking a leaf out of Wattys book and play it safe. Id go for a line up as follows....

---------Boruc-------------
Caldwell--McManus--Odea--Naylor
------------Hartey-------------
McGeady--Donati---Sno---Robson
------------JVOH---------------


In the 2nd half I would take off JVOH and put on Killen if we are struggling for a goal, dont see the point in putting on our top scorer. Also if its still 0-0 in the 2nd half id take of Aiden and bring on Caddis. Thats way we can go 5 at the back.

What do you all think?? Will be have a chance of qualifying if we play like this?

All you celtic Lads hoping for a miracle tomorrow againt the mighty Barca, sorry for you guys. With Samule Eto'o back and in shape, Henry in the middle and Ronaldinho being the ball make, Deco in the midfield, how can you stop them, with the likes of Caldwell--McManus--Odea--Naylor??? How??

No miracle needed not many come to Celtic Park and leave with anything.We will play attacking football and come away with a win,no doubt in my mind,The Celtic support is worth a goal best supporters in the world bar none woof woof hail hail

it all depends on the nite barca players are ues to playing in big matches like this and they love it as well. I would put wee McDonald on rite away theres no point in playing the long ball with big ven having no one to knock it down to stupid i say plus hes our top scorer. we also need Boruc to be in top form as he is worth a goal him self or should i say stoping a goal come on the celts make us proud hail hail

are you being serious??

why would GS leave out Nakamura? he's a definite starter. McGeady will not be subbed unless he is tragically injured and as for not playing SMCD i really don't know ur point???

another thing, killen to come on if we NEED a goal!!!????

Psychiatric ward mate is where u need to go!!!

To DannyC1888:

What are u talking about: "0-0 against at team that arent even half as good as barca" Rangers got a point of off Barca through that system and if Celtic are foulish enough to think they can attack against Barca, then that will only leave gaps for Messi and co. I know you will probably answer that you guys beat Milan, but they're an ageing side, Italian and played with one striker. Barca play with 3 along with Iniesta or Xavi coming from midfield.

I just think that the Celtic players willget drawn in to the occasion and excited by the 60,000+ fans and maybe make some foulish and rash desicions at times.

It is imperative tonight that who ever plays in the middle can support the front man as I suspect GS will opt for the lone striker.However, this is easier said than done considering Brown's suspension. A 4-5-1 tonight would be an ideal formation though who to play at right back?I wouldn't want to split up the McManus/Cauldwell partnership whilst I don't rate Hartley at right back(incidentally I think we need bodies in midfield)!?What about the wee bhoy Caddis?A big European debut?

Boruc
Caddis Cauldwell McManus Naylor
McGeady Hartley Donati Robson Nakamura
McDonald
