sdunsmb 43 Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 If Edu proves he is fit enough to play in the OF derby, does anybody else fear will will see this: Davis McCulloch Edu Beasley Miller Boyd - Or even worse, would he go back to 4-5-1? - Will Thompson start (ahead of Edu) if fit? - Will McCulloch start even if Edu and/or Thompson are fit?? Obviously, a lot depends on whether Edu can prove his fitness in the next couple games and also show signs that he can pickup where he left of in terms of his form from last season. If this was the case, I would like to see: Beasley Davis Edu Novo Miller Boyd What do you lot think and what would you go with?? (I know that we have two games to think of first but this is was on my mind, so I thought I'd post it) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BouncingBear 23 Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 Av been sayin for a while we'll go back to 4 5 1 for the shettleston harriers game, of that I have no doubt!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be pretty dissappointed if that were the case, in recent years it has proven to be an ok decision, but Celtic are so awful this season ( especially defensively ) that I don't think a 4-5-1 can be justified.

Amac9 2,060 Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 Davis is our best CM and he should play there! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ricksen_da_best 2,034 Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 Davis is a better Cm than Edu. Edu should work his way back into the team, and shouldn't be thrown into the Celtic game anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimfanciesthedude 25,617 Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 if smith goes back to 4-5-1 the we may see edu, davis and mcculloch in the middle, with beasley and novo on the wings miller up top easy 3-1 win for us Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amac9 2,060 Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 We will need Edu back up to speed ASAP alongside Davis in the middle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdunsmb 43 Posted December 23, 2009 Author Share Posted December 23, 2009 We will need Edu back up to speed ASAP alongside Davis in the middle. I think an Edu and Davis partnership in a tradional 4-4-2 formation could be great - they would compliment each other so well. All this is with the assumption that Edu returns and play as well as he was when he got in the team last season - sounds like he has looked sharp in training and is a great athlete anyway ......... .......don't want another KT situation, he's been rushed back perhaps and he's looked a shadow of his former self.

LegendofCoop 18,120 Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 Surely if a change were made it would be McCulloch for Edu?? Even with LM in the team we're doing great so no reason to change it! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poetry_In_Blue 1,043 Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 I doubt KT will be fit for this game and Edu won't have much match practice so I would have McCulloch start in the centre with Davis, and with Boogie being away I would have Wilson starting at the back, Wilson has played well against better teams than Celtic so there is no reason why he shouldn't start this one.

Stu1993 101 Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 With thomson touch and go for the game i would rather have Edu in Cm With davis rather McCulloch. i think we have to keep beasley and novo on the wings. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
