Celtic v Maribor CL Qualifier 2nd Leg TV3

TheCitizen

Most important match of the season for Celtic. Looking to qualify for the CL proper for the 3rd season in a row.

Trevor Welch.

Dempsey

Stokes really needs to work on his jumping and heading. Terrible once again

Flashbacks of Lee Naylor there! *shudder*

From a money point of view, yes it fúcking is

Dempsey

Great covering by Ambrose there.

Sloppy stuff from Celtic and no sense of urgency when they get the ball back

TheCitizen

Celtic look nervous. Need to pass it around and keep the ball for a bit.

Dempsey

Playing way too deep, ffs Deila sort it out.

Some of the passes tried by Celtic players is ridiculous!

Ambrose sold himself cheaper than the hooker in Full Metal Jacket!

TheCitizen

That was lucky.

Looks a shadow of the team from last year......whatever way Ronny is trying to get them to play, they aren't getting the message at the minute.

They're not linking up with each other at all. Don't seem to have a plan. They played alright in the 1st half last week, not even doing that now.

Dempsey

When Mulgrew got the ball, not one player around him moved for a pass. Absolutely inexcusable!

Dempsey

Kilbane keeps blaming McGregor when Stokes makes a bad decision.

buckfasterer

The plan seems to be get the ball, get it out right to McGregor. Johansson is completely lost out left, he was in the last game aswell. No intensity in the play and no pressure being applied.


If Ambrose got a transfer tomorrow, I'd drive him to where he wants to go. Shocking.

TheCitizen

Bit better there, Maribor are tidy but not all that good. If they were any good they'd be ahead by now.

Dempsey

Ambrose thinks he's on the training ground. He should be hooked at HT and I dont mean substituted

Berget and Johanson have been poor as well. I think Commons should come on for Berget.

TheCitizen

Thank fck for that whistle.

Maribor? We would definitely have beat them this time last season. They're poor enough. Still need to be a lot better in the 2nd half to get through against them.

RoryMac

Awful 1st half from Celtic, lucky not to be behind.

Only McGregor for me has been even half decent, our midfield 3 have been anonymous and chasing shawdows even though we've an extra man!

Ambrose doesn't look comfortable at all, I'd take him off, move Lustig RB, Mulgrew to CB & bring on Bitton but even then I have a bad feeling about the 2nd half

A Dub in Glasgo

That was poor, WTF is wrong with basic passing to a team mate. Maribor do sense the jitters when Celtic are passing it about in their own half

Dempsey

I'd take off McGregor, one trick pony in this match and they all have the measure of him. So much wrong with the Celtic performance though. The movement when we have the ball is non existent. That really needs to addressed for the 2nd half.

buckfasterer

Even when getting humped against Barca or Milan, they didn't play that bad. It's like there's a competition between Celtic and Man Utd to see who can go backwards quicker and play the worst football.

McGregor looked the only player on the Celtic side who can pose a problem for Maribor!

Time for Commons. Matthews would be nice too. Only McGregor has looked dangerous. Would like to play higher up the pitch but given we're going through at the minute, I doubt we will.

He has flattered to deceive more times this game. All you have to do is stay with him and wait for him to check back onto his left and pick the ball off him. He's got the better of nobody in the final 3rd of the field.

TheCitizen

I'd get Bitton and Commons on for Johanson and Berget

rosskind

You know what McGregor wants to do, but it would be harder to stop him if there was another option for him rather than do it himself.

Dempsey

How did the referee not see that? Commons should have shut his mouth though

TheCitizen

Commons making a difference already, should've started.

Dempsey

Abit of life out of Celtic players...about time!

buckfasterer

Looks like the riot act was read at half time.

fckin riot it was:D

Dempsey

Lustig with a knock, fack. He's played well at CB

We all know what this means...

buckfasterer

Good to see Matthews coming on, some genuine pace down the wing that's missed so much when Forrest isn't playing.

We've been spared.....for a while.

****, should be 1 down.

Mushy

Celtic much better, can see it finishing 0-0.

TheCitizen

Dig in here, might be enough to get thru

buckfasterer

****

Watch the replay, Ambrose didn't wanna know about blocking that ball, he turns his back the ****. **** sakes. This is a shambles.

Oh fúck...

Dempsey

Celtic havent reacted well to conceding in previous games this season. A big improvement from everyone is required to save this one.

buckfasterer

Ah to hell with this, take Ambrose off and play with 10 men. That's an absolute disgrace.

Cienciano

Maribor are playing celtic off the park. Definitely deserve to be in the lead here

super_furry

Celtic really do look like they're just a tiny step above Airtricity League league. Dundalk would give them a real test.

Been switching between this game and United and it's hard to tell who's worse.

That_Guy

Maribor about to bring on Luis Suarez.

PauloMN

This is never a CL side lads. Embarrassing stuff. A few of these players need to be gotten rid of, starting with Ambrose.

I think Maribor deserve to progress.

super_furry

Celtic drawn with Legia in the Europa would be dangerous.
