May as well get a thread started

Have to say that I would have gone fer that starting X1 - and surely the formation is crystal clear - 3 locals and 3 loaners - cant fault TB for any of that.

Inverness CT: Esson, Raven, Warren, Meekings, Graeme Shinnie, Doran, Tudur Jones, Draper, Ross, Andrew Shinnie, McKay.

Subs: Reguero, Sutherland, Polworth, Pepper, Roberts, Devine, Taylor.

 

Celtic: Forster, Gershon, Fraser, Rogne, McGeouch, Kayal, Commons, Rogic, McCourt, Miku, Stokes.

Subs: Zaluska, Matthews, Nouioui, Herron, Watt, Atajic, Chalmers.

4-2-1-1 and again spot onTB

Great run by Draper , good turn by wee Billy and good attempt - but the back four are far too deep and we need to get closer to Commons

1-0 yesssssssssssssssssss

Nice

Nicky Ross - good finish. Is it just me or was that one of the first time that OTJ has sat on the keeper from a corner kick ?

Feck me - they are all over the place - but we have to take advantage of that.

feck sake

To be honest you can't stop moves and finishes like that. But we have really let them off the hook. And all the decisions are going against us as well.

Why are Terry and Mo not doing summat about the back four defending so fe kin deep - we are giving the far too much room in the middle - and why have we also stopped playing the ball wide ?

50/50 possession on the half hour ?

Commons is in feckin yards of space every time he gets the ball. That was NEVER a free kick and could have been a lot worse. Tab on the mic but subdued and must be feckin fuming.

said it before and I will say it again. Tommy Rogic sold himself short in signing for Celtic. He should be in theEPL

We haven't been in the last third for the last 15 minutes. Are we becoming too tippy tappy and crab like ?

Are you watching this Gabby - Rogic made the goal but Commons is simply running the game.

We have come alive in the last 5 Minutes ?

last couple of mins have been better

half time 1-1

finished the half the better side

Love to see what others think but we were in complete control but instead of hitting the accelerator after the first goal we went down a gear and allowed them in to the game. Why do we have a tendency to do that ? our final pass has been terrible but we are not getting people up to support wee Billy. Also feel that we need to feed Ross and doran more and along with Raven and Shinnie start hitting fer the bye line more often as we look really dangerous from dead ball situations but are not pushing to get them.

Decent performance so far. Nothing much to be afraid of, concentration is key though for the second half.

I just don't understand why McCourt is so often overlooked by Celtic.  Ok, he's lazy but so many times I've seen him and he's the best player on the park.  Even here, he's pulling away defenders from the rest of the team and looks dangerous whenever there is a chance.  For me, he's top quality. 

 

Not sure what we can do.  We seem overhwelmed in midfield but it seems to be just because Celtic have better players.  Formation changes? Substitutions?  Not sure they will help.  But we did ok earlier on.  Maybe there will be a chance.

Yep, it iis on Setanta - Rogic is quality. Been enjoying watching him in the A League for the last 2 years. Celtic is a standard too low for him

Of course this game is up fer the grabs - let's face it Cellic have individual talent and skill in abundance on that pitch but are showing that as a team they are strangers. The central defenders are also there for the taking. If we were playing lower lights today we would be up in arms. As ever I expect Lennon to get his troops out fer the kill from the off - and that is where we should do likewise - if we sit back we will suffer. I also feel that we should be more direct.
