Still buzzing over the result and display last night and trying to keep myself in check with reminding myself it's only half time in the tie.
The 2-0 lead in football, hate it and not surprising its regarded as the worst lead in football, as the next goal in the tie can totally change the momentum in the tie.
Big fan of the 3 midfield triangle, with calmac at the base especially at home and in the Spfl.
Still have doubts weather that is the way to go, away from home in a European game.
The higher press led to 2 goals last night, yet at times left us more exposed with AZ being far better than I gave them credit for.
Think we looked more solid when Ange made the subs and reverted back to a 4231 and think he may opt for that from the start next week, as chances were still created.
Expecting a few changes for the weekend and maybe bringing in Soro or Mccarthy at the base of the triangle could be a option with Thursday in mind.
Christie for kyogo is another potential option, to keep the wee jap wonder fresh. Eddy to start and done well last night when coming on and doing a role he don't really like to much.
It's great now to have such great attacking options available now, yet we still need that within the defensive area still and the Croatian lad is a start to help matters with allowing Ralston a chance to get a well deserved rest between matches, and Taylor also needs that help also.
Expect Bitton to get a run out on Saturday, even though I would be happier if another CB was bought in.
All in all its such a pleasure to get our CELTIC finally back and in a style and manner that we became so used to and hope for it never to disappear again.
