If all fit it’ll be Butland Tav Balogan Soutter Ridvan Cantwell Lundstrum Diomande Sima Dessers Silva Reckon one or both of Soutter or Balogan won’t make it though You're leaving out Sterling?

We really miss athleticism and power middle of the park. Some one press and knock others of their stride. hearts and killi have been their bigger obstacles this year. Both packed the middle hearts go 3-5-2 - one quick forward running in behind/ channels. With that plan.... Butland Balogun Soutter Davies Tav Sterling Dio Raskin Ridvan Dessers Sima Yep, first though after CP was we need to go 3-1-4-2. Control the midfield with Tav and Barasic or Ridvan high up. Sterling as the 1, Lundstram as the DM in the 4. I'd give Sima a free role as the other striker off of Dessers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They keep steamrolling through or midfield because we play a front 4 against them who are pretty shite. Your selection doesn't address that at all, it just shuffles the pack with a different 4. I'd greet if that's the starting 11 at the weekend. Initially, after the OF game I felt the same. But I want to win the cup more and the alternatives aren't great. It's just possible that he will want to make up for that performance. ayrshireranger and Inigo 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross-Gazza genius 1,930 Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 I know it won't be a popular post but this would be my starting 11, I've not decided on CH coz i don't know who is fit yet. Butland Tav Balogun/? Souttar/Davies Ridvan Sterling Lundstram Cantwell Sima Dessers Mcausland Our best form was when Sterling and Lundstram played together.

.Williamson. 83,746 Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 Silva is one of the first names on the team sheet for me.

writingranger 1,427 Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 A lot of it will depend on fitness, particularly when to pitch Sima in. This match could go to 120 minutes and we have quite a few who can't last 90. Tactically, clement is Aware that celtic make strong starts and fade and we makepoor starts and then strengthen. Mostly. I'd pitch in my strongest and try to win it by scoring early even if that means ending without Sima and ridvan etc. Boybluesy 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SIRB_72 4,084 Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 If Sima is fit he should be starting off the left. He's arguably our best outfield player, his best position is off the left and Silva is also a complete enigma. He causes johnston all sorts of problems but his finishing is fucking woeful at times and defensively he's a man down. celtic were running all over us down that last side and he was at least a third of the reason why along with Lundstram and Barisic. We cannot have passengers letting guys simply run off them time and time again like johnston was with Silva. Leftpegcoopz11 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If barisic and Jack were fit I'd start both because yilmaz is absolutely awful, take your point re Lundstram but I honestly think he's a better option than raskin or diamonde who have showed nothing recently, I just wish Jack had 90 minutes in him for this one.

He's not had a positive impact in most of them, he's not worth the risk that would one with playing any player due to sign a contract elsewhere soon.

SeparateEntityMyArse 54,280 Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 Silva can only play if he has no defensive responsibilities whatsoever. He stops tracking and let's his man drift off him in and around the box far too often. He offers the left back pretty much no cover for overlapping and underlapping opponents. I'd maybe contemplate him and Sima up front if we flooded the midfield with natural midfielders. Dread seeing him again on left of 3 in a 4231.
