Celtic v AZ Alkmaar.

Burn out is going to be a big issue if we keep playing like we are ....imo, we need to pick our times to attack like that as it is clearly not sustainable... would like to see us use guys like Shaw , Griffith's and Ajeti at the weekend
I was thinking that myself. How long before strains and sprains start, we've already had Christie and Abada out for a couple of games and it's only the start of the season, we've a lot of games to go. We need to use the whole squad to keep this up.

I’m hopeful that Johnson and dembele are back soon. Forgotten men fir now but I think this style would suit them if they’re sharp. Wee MJ if we can ever get him fully fit can be a fantastic impact player

I have to hold my hands up and say I was wrong about Tony Ralston this boy has shown me and a few others up, he's been incredible lately in fact the whole team has been incredible. I thought we would struggle this season but Ange has them playing football I've not seen in years, the first half in the mini huns game was the best football played at Celtic Park since the Juventus 4-3 game in my opinion. I now find myself actually looking forward to the sevco game believing we are going to win it. Thank fuck the ex Bournemouth manager is a dick otherwise we would not have gotten to experience Angeball...... In Ange We Trust HH
 
Watched the game on Celtic TV and really annoyed that the feed died just before we scored. Amateurs running Celtic TV unable to cope with the demand. Glad we won but my heart was in my mouth when they cut though our defence at ease. We rode our luck. We need to score next week for my nerves to cope.
I agree fis and ive said that couldve finished 5-4 but for stella defending and some top drawer saves. To me we are facing a side who have a very similar style of play to us except they have a march on us in this department having been playing their system longer. We are in for one rollercoaster ride of a night in Holland but we werent lucky to beat them far from it. It was a deserved victory with a little luck which all clubs require af times. The clips I've seen arent Celtic tv ( who btw have a terrible reputation for stresming games) so who else was streaming the game? Actually don't answer that in case its needed again . I really wish I was there hearts was brilliant as it was 1st time back for many moon but thst atmosphere was literally jumping out of the screen and so happy for the bhoys and ghirls who did manage to get a seat and witness yet another chapter in 'unfancied Celtic ' spanking the so called favourites opposition . HH

BR was found out and he knew it. Even in Scotland teams knew how we would play, it got far too predictable, he was obsessed with possession that's where all the sideways passing came from.
Ange is all about movement and speed, forward. It's exciting stuff.
Tbf though Brimcbhoy Rodgers didnt get the players he wanted and got nothing like the backing Ange has had so far. If Ange can deliver close to what Rodgers did I'll be one happy hoopster. If he can take us deep into Europe I'll be ecstatic , unable to contain myself and pish my troosers 🤫

H3s been brilliant the bhoy and wen u think of the grief he was getting from us all to turn that around shows the type of mentality a celtic player needs fair play to him that sliding clearance last nite was superb man😁
 
Ange reminds me of Jock Stein. He seems to have won over all the doubters. I love the term Angeball. The Dutch called it total football. It's the way Celtic used to play when I was a young man. When we get Chris Julien back hopefully he will be brilliant and our CB problems are fixed. I suspect we will add a few more this month. Get yourself to Celtic Park. This is the year that we will need to spread the load as come what may we will be in Europe till at least December. Injuries will happen, Masons will red card us. Dundee were lucky to only lose 6. We will take 10 of some team this season.
 
I'd say you have to keep Rogic and sacrifice Forrest to get Christie back in the team if he's fully fit.
As I said khenny it's a dilemma but a good one to have. I honestly cannot see Forrest being benched for rogic. If Christie is fit given his spectacular start to the season I think he may start, but in place of rogic? Not sure , weve seen Abada benched for rogic this season I hope that is not the case. Id start with Christie and Turnbull and maybye bringing on rogic later 🤷🏻‍♂️ we must be as attack minded as the CP 2st leg HH

Rogic on this form should be a starter ,big twinkle toes was the main man in that first half last night ...
 
I agree with those posting about having strength and depth in the squad. If we're going to keep playing with this intensity then we need good cover for those with injuries or burn out. Squad rotation will be a necessity and not a luxury so hopefully there's no penny pinching when buying the few more players we need in this hugely important season. CL riches next season can finance it.
