As most of us have developed into armchair managers of late why not put ourselves to the test. With a good pre season done only blip been the CL defeat and still in pole position in the such important league campaign, how would You tackle these next 2 matches this week

Win them both

play 442

with one deep midfielder supporting 2 centre backs

2 cm

1 am

with two forwards

experience being the deciding factor for selection

defence

Taylor playing left back
el Hamed right back
julien and duffy

brown dm

bitton and ntcham cm

calmac floating roaming 10

eddy playing deeper linking with calmac

and Ajeti cf

control mdfield

have full backs only going forward when they have space to run into

we dont play with wingers so elyounousi and forrest on bench with frimpong available to stretch defenders with his pace coming off bench and a chance to show why he should be number 1 right back

if any these players no fit then christi would be next shout for me to get in team

why bitton

he can shoot hard and accurate

has best range imo
and he can tackle and pass well

christie does lot of good stuff

personally I think cal McGregor is better at his role than him

and although he is great player deeper he is wasted not in that floating danger man role he does so well
 
I think I would try and stop buying guys who are not good enough, then, wait for it, use the squad by maybe giving the players I did rate a game. I would also not get into the habit playing my palsies I wouldn't have any, you're not there to be a mate. I would play a 352 with Luca and Frimpong playing with Ajer, Duffy Julien. In th middle Would play Turnbull, Calmc, Christie, Griff and Eddy. Using Soro, Ntcham, Rogic, Brown, Ajeti as subs to keepupa fast and energy filled tempo. Each player would get game time and a chance to be picked. Allwould know it was how they were playing that secure a place and not because they are a shoe in. I would certainly tear up the lets wait and hoe bullshit and make sure my team and I knew what needed and got them before we started the CL, so if we make a cunt of it, its not because we played calm at left back or went with no strikers. I would also call out e sec press and commentators for their utter shit. Comments like, "I am surprised to see so many of you here today, after your team lost yesterday, It must be difficult after you all said they were playing brilliant. Which player do you want to try to unsettle today by saying their off?
 
I wouldn't have played Broony 3 times in a week but would have rested him against Livi, as I would have definitely played him in one of these next 2 games. Personally I would have preferred to have him on away from home in Europe and had younger legs on against Hibs. But since he played, I'll rest him on Thursday.

I'd start with a more cautious 4-4-2 then open things up as necessary with the 5 subs, although this side is pretty flexible (if weak on the right side - Frimpong could start instead of Bitton or give Christie a res):

Barkas
Elhamed Duffy Jullien (or Ajer if unfit) Taylor
Christie MacGregor Bitton Elyounoussi
Edouard Ajeti
​
Bain, Ajer/Welsh, Ntcham, Frimpong, Forrest, Klimala, Connell

I might switch to the 3-5-2 versus Hibs.

Wait a minute - stop the bus. I just realised that I completely missed out Turnbull, who I've been raving about for the last year and a half! 🤡

So I am going to have to withdraw my application as assistant manager on the grounds of being such a big fud! You'll have to go with the World's Greatest Jiner as your assistant instead.

should have went Turnbull Christie Elanoosi(fae last season)maybe give Jamesy a breather
 
Management? No for me.

I'd rather rage against the machine and have an equally represented utopian system in place.

Therefore, Shammy and CelticRose are my big (and I mean BIG) two up top (ooo-er) and clay would be my stereotypical token gay fella who likes playing from front to back (and is happy to be flexible and reverse roles). The physically impaired need representation too, so that means a pivotal place for myself. Help the aged need some attention, so Methuselah Duffy gets a shout at left-back.

Should still be good enough to hammer the huns though.
