Dread 69 Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Honestly think the sentiment is too negative on here. They are not as good as most think, and more, they seem to know this as a team. All we have to do is keep the pressure up, hound them down, and their natural tendency to commit defensive errors will give us plenty of chances to settle the game. Half the league now understands how to play against them, and we have by far the best players to do it. 1-3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

coopsleftboot 5,512 Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 If we play the type of game that Aberdeen, Hibs and Kilmarnock did against us in our last few outings we should be alright.... ...or likely we'll be the team that gets heavily penalised for kicking fuck out of our opponents.

We can’t put any pressure on them because we drop points so consistently. When was the last time we won more than 4 league games in a row? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rlm 408 Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 We worked out how to beat them last game. Just don't let them have a moment on the ball..close down at every opportunity..use Kent and candies effectively and just go for it. We can win this game. Nothing to be scared of. We are a handful if we turn up. But we got to be at it from first minute. Am quietly confident fingers crossed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be surprised if we use the same high press against them at the piggery,I suspect the bus will be well and truly parked in their penalty area.

We try to park the bus looking to contain them and we'll lose IMO. They are used to playing against that at home. It will be a repeat of our last game at the piggery. They aren't used to teams at home coming after them. We need to press up the pitch and give them no time on the ball. Force them into mistakes like we did last time, when they could barely get a few passes together. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
born a blue nose 90,693 Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 I think we will take the game to them unlike the last time where we were embarrassing. Nothing to lose attitude for me Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross-Gazza genius 1,902 Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 We've got nothing to lose and everything to gain so we go at them from the start and get in their horrible mutant faces. If all is fit I'd play the exact same team as the last old firm. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we want to win it's our only chance and with nothing to lose you're right but Gerrard may fear a heavy defeat more than fancying a win. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry Hurlock Loyal 12,133 Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Our shite performances, before and since the last OF games has rendered this as a glorified friendly for me.

SeparateEntityMyArse 53,601 Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 "The key for me and my message to the players is not to freeze and have too much respect for celtic like they did the last time,” “Don’t sit back and wait for the game. Go and grab it. Go and seize the moment and the opportunity to express yourselves. I want the players to be excited about this fixture, not fearful". The message Gerrard gave the players before the December win needs repeated. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
