Prediction Lge PTS: 31
Fav. Celtic Player: Artur Boruc
Fav. Celtic Song: Fields of Athenry
Status: World Phucking Champions
goalkeeper: boruc needs a talking down to about his attitude. as giggs said before.. "you can drink all you want after you retire"

leftback: since we arent signing anyone :nooooooo: .. we need to do something back there. id prefer naylor over wilson to be honest. naylor would never have let those huns go by him. if not bring in the reserve leftback but i heard hes not even a leftback and is just a left winger they put back there. (clap for having a good scouting department :Clap: :Clap: :wank: )

Left centerback: McManus needs to be stripped of the captincey. If Strachan doesn't want to do it publically just demote him to the bench. He also needs that. Maybe after he sees hes undroppable he will come back and be how he was his 2nd season at celtic. Loovens and O'Dea should fight it out for his position.

Right Centerback: Caldwell keep his spot for now but have Loovens breathing down his neck. Maybe give bobo a chance again.

Right back:
Hinkel.. maybe the german squad callup with help his confidence. If it doesn't drop him for at least a few games and put caddis in his place.

left winger: mcgeady has lost the pace he had last season that made him lethal. probably once again too much drinking. he needs a game out so he realizes he has to work harder once again. give paddy or maloney a chance there or put naka on the left and caddis on the right wing for a game.

central midfield brown needs dropped ASAP. Replace him with Robson. Start to replace hartley with crosas and see where we go from there.

right wing keep naka there. hes been good this season. maybe have caddis come on for him late in matches if hinkel is playing right back.

strikers :
Vennegoor of Hesselink: fine..
McDonald needs to be told he will be dropped if he doesnt lose the weight.
Samaras fine.
Maloney fine.



strategies
>>Need to ditch zonal marking on corners. Does not work at all for us and it showed yesterday. We dont have the personal to execute it or we dont have the coaching staff to teach it properly.

>>need to start doing different formations than strachan's strict 4-4-2. its so predictable. every team in the SPL (bar hamilton) has seen this strategy going on three years. they know how to defend it, they know how to play it. nothing ever changes. plus we really dont need a sitting midfield playing falkirk at home. and if we do.. that tells you something :nooooooo: :nooooooo:

>>make no one undroppable. everyone has to realize they are not bigger than the club. boruc is undroppable but dont tell him that. :Laugh:

>>make changes sooner. after rangers went ahead 3-1 it took strachan 14 minutes to make a change. 14 minutes! thats unheard of nowadays. and always having gary pendrey scribbling shit for the players to look at. ffs. your tactics are so basic strachan.. i dont think they need 10 minutes of instructions to play in your system every match. :oops:

I think mcgeady has gotten complacent as well. Obviously not in a CL game or a big SPL game, but against St. you (see what I did there!? LOLZ!), ICT, etc. send him message by putting him on the pine pony.

maybe playing brown for one game will convince artur he's not as indispensable either. brown isn't so bad that he'd flub against ict or saints. but that's only if artur's poor form continues, i think it was just a one off....just a shite day to have one

hinkel-- hopefully a one off. but caddis is ample coverage, as can perrier doumbe be if we choose to put caddis on left.

caldwell -- keep on. but be aware that loovens could take his spot, just as o'dea could

mcmanus -- needs not to be captain....he plays much better without it...must be aware of loovens and o'dea and told to pick it up

wilson -- he's a back up.....play naylor unless he's just as bad then try caddis...i think caddis can play on right or left

i agree with dropping mcgeady a match or two...so he gets his head out of his ass. he keeps trying to outrun people as opposed to working the ball. and never defends. we actually have ample coverage for him now so that we can do that.

brown was alright in 1st half but invisible in the 2nd...i don't know what to do with him. but i know i prefer the robbo and hartley combination

hartley keep on but obviously use crosas if he doesn't do the job

naka keep him on. he's our most creative. just tell him to defend more

samaras -- needs to step up...but with JVOH out i don't think hutch is enough competition for him. JVOH should play above him after match ban

Maloney -- fine

McDonald -- get in shape son

JVOH -- fine....we need him back playin
