Be interesting to see how Soro and Turnbull get on, midfield needs some new blood.Starting 11
Hazard
Jullien Duffy Ajer
Frimpong Turnbull Soro McGregor Laxalt
Klimala Elyounoussi
Subs Bain, Barkas, Taylor, Brown, Rogic, Ajeti, Edouard, Harper, Henderson, Welsh, Griffiths
Hazard isn't that good. Thistle supporting mate just messaged me to say we surely cant be playing that 6'6" lump of wood that was glued to his line for Thistle last year.O a serious note hazard must have something to get a 7 year contract if so play him we might not need Forster

Frimpong? Weak link? Hope he proves me wrong but, whos covering his defensive duties?Starting 11

Dinnae worry - we have Duffy's pace behind him to bail us out of any bother.Frimpong? Weak link? Hope he proves me wrong but, whos covering his defensive duties?
The back three will be covering his defensive duties, he's actually okay as a RWB or RW as much as his crossing & shooting needs to improve, but he's never a RB, his positional discipline for that position is shocking.Frimpong? Weak link? Hope he proves me wrong but, whos covering his defensive duties?
He's good at taking players on, beating them & winning FKs etc, he can cause havoc with his runs, agree he's got a lot to learn defensively & with his end product.Please God hope he doesn't start Frimpong. He has gave us nothing in attack and is a liability in defence. In Europe especially his inexperience has been shown up massively.
we'll find out where turnbull plays when game starts, he doesn't give them his ahem tatics board, if he as oneHe just doesn't learn from past mistakes, Turnbull out of position at CAM when he's a CM, Elyounoussi up front as a second striker alongside Klimala which failed badly against Sevco with neither getting a shot on target, happy to see Soro get his first competitive start since joining in January, my prediction is he'll be excellent & leave everyone scratching their head as to why on earth he hasn't started a game before tonight. I still feel more youths could have been used, big night for Hazard who will be tested, he could cement his place as No.1 GK until January with a good performance, making even one save would be an improvement on Barkas in Europe.
So i guess its up to Julien to cover for him at RB, I fear the worse tbh.The back three will be covering his defensive duties, he's actually okay as a RWB or RW as much as his crossing & shooting needs to improve, but he's never a RB, his positional discipline for that position is shocking.
Sometimes and we've seen it before young Celtic keepers surprising us marshal in the nou camp comes to mind playing for partick isnt the same as playing for Celtic in the Europa league but soon see HHHazard isn't that good. Thistle supporting mate just messaged me to say we surely cant be playing that 6'6" lump of wood that was glued to his line for Thistle last year.

Let's give it a chance. I think that is the back 3 Lennon planned on using this season. Turnbull has a lot of energy and is a goal threat so playing in front of Soro is a good idea. Elyounoussi has done OK in Europe and Klimala deserves a chance so we shouldn't write that partnership off based on one awful performance (when everyone was appalling).He just doesn't learn from past mistakes, Turnbull out of position at CAM when he's a CM, Elyounoussi up front as a second striker alongside Klimala which failed badly against Sevco with neither getting a shot on target, happy to see Soro get his first competitive start since joining in January, my prediction is he'll be excellent & leave everyone scratching their head as to why on earth he hasn't started a game before tonight.
