Gonzo79 15,292 Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 It's almost at the stage where we're picking the least bad player for each position (reminds me of elections). 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

compo 7,030 Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 I think it will be the more or less the same culprits that took part in Wednesdays debacle i think what we have at this moment is a manager struggling with his new buys and having to play them to justify his position , think your better watching Colombo on Sunday . 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graeme Ro55 759 Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 The other mob are without their best defender and going through changes set up wise so we need to take advantage and batter them. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a huge concern I'll be honest. It would be selfish of Beale to pick a team to justify his summer recruitment choices, rather than the best team for the test, which is most definitely Roofe, Matondo and Cantwell up front. Even if he goes with one of Sima or Lammers, with Cantwell deeper, leaving Dessers and Danilo on the bench is quite damning really. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo79 15,292 Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 Sima should be nowhere near a starting slot. Beale has previous for strange starting line-ups - I'm still struggling to understand why Cantwell and Raskin didn't start the League Cup Final. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranger_syntax 4,320 Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 Doesn't matter if the same team starts two matches in a row. P.S.V. are much better than Celtic. That result tells us nothing about the coming match. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully Yilmaz is fit again as I certainly don't fancy Sterling or Davies at left back. Perhaps Ykeko would be a better choice but that's a big risk as well. I'd certainly take Cifu out the team and add Jack to the side so allow us the same midfield that won us the game in May at Ibrox. Up front, I'd persevere with Matondo and probably play Roofe alongside him. It says a lot that none of the manager's outfield summer signings make the starting XI. One new signing out of the nine who joined us. That would be damning 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
