ForeverAndEver 72,134 Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 8 minutes ago, bluenoz said: I've read a few comments that Cantwell is not physical enough to play in this game. We bought him to play and succeed in these types of games. I would be shocked if he didn't start. Besides, celtic is not a physical side these days. Let them loose; Raskin, Cantwell & Tillman instead of the usual defensive-minded Lundstram, Jack & Kamara. That midfield is scary, and not for Celtic.

Sounds like a negative approach to me for a cup final. I can guarantee you celtic won't have that approach. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can guarantee you celtic won't have that approach. They also won't have their full backs in the final third as much as we do which is the reason for 2 players who can cover those positions.

.Williamson. 83,770 Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 These games are typically won in midfield so we will need players like Jack and Lundstram getting stuck into tackles, and by that I mean kicking McGregor into the air cr3_bear 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope I’m absolutely wrong. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Specky Forum Organiser 66,150 Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 I don't have an issue with Cantwell starting it's just it has to be him or Sakala if everyone is for and this game is made for Sakala. Bluekev 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Specky Forum Organiser 66,150 Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 Kent will play on McGregor out of possession as well so not sure where Cantwell fits in there either. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think so too. His pace is ideal against them. Gave their defenders a torrid time in a good few games now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
esquire8 43,625 Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 Midfield 3 of Tillman Raskin and Lundstram. Kent in a free role. Morelos and Sakala up top with Morelos dropping off and dragging their backline out with Sakala on the last man and use his pace. Keep our full backs from flying forward. Try be as solid as possible and hit them on the break. Cant play our usual game. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He needs to start as probably the only player we have that runs in behind and can stretch teams. Thought he gave them a torrid time at ibrox in January. The unpredictability of him is hard to play against. Half the time he doesn't even know himself what he's going to do next.

Pleasantly surprised at how good it looks, though whether it holds for 90/120 mins is anyone's guess. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
