Madrid Countdown.

[Millers Tache]

Well fuck me. That's awfully similar to the line up/tactics for the Celtic game. Ok, Atletico have shown they're maybe weak at the back, but they've also scored a heap of goals themselves there. Byrne's probably still in Glasgow looking for McGeady, such is the woefulness of his positional sense. Clark's like a fucking cockroach - a nuclear holocaust couldn't shift him from the team. And MacNamara? Jesus Hercules Christ. Hope he proves me wrong, but i just cannot see him being anything other than a liability tonight.

Sadly, that's funny because it's true...

Terrifyingly, someone has just posted this on BNP Chat:

 

EE has revealed the team, nicholson did not train yesterday and looks very likely to miss out. Seve up front for a physical presence along with miller in the hope that they can hold the ball up. I can see the logic considering we may be making a lot of clearnaces rather than passes from defence, unless, foster is playing who will try and make nice wee passes across the 18 yard box. Defenders clearing their lines means that you have to have strikers who will offer a some physicality against their defenders. if you don't have the class up front, which we don't, then next best thing is to defend from the front. get it right up them!!

 

Back 5 of Hart, zander, touzani, considine, byrne

 

midfield of smith, jackie mac, dek young

 

miller and seve up front.

 

Jesus christ i hope that's a wind up.

 

Edit:

 

Oh fuck, it's true:

That has to be the slowest frontline the world has ever seen...

 

[BobbyBiscuit]

Touzani AND Considine in the same defence... both like a bit of time on the ball, that isn't what's called for tonight.

 

Massive blow if true about Nicholson. Seve up front? He's lost the plot, hasn't he?

[Millers Tache]

I can see the sense in playing Seve up front. After all, we never pass it through the midfield anyway, so why not just play 8 at the back and 2 up front...? I'm very afraid. I hope this is just Jimmy at the mind games in some vain attempt to gain some kind of advantage, and not that infamous tactical tombola returning with a vengeance....

Sounds like Miller missed a sitter. When I say missed ... he actually MISSED the ball!!!

[manc_don]

TO be fair to miller, it was actually behind him, but if he'd have swung a milli second later he'd have caught it. Had a decent game overall. I can honestly say i'm proud, we went down fighting (clark, young and probably seve aside).

No. He actually DID miss the ball. Amateurish.

[bilbobaggins]

To be fair to Miller, Touzani put him off by also attacking the ball and getting in front of him. Thought Miller had a great game.

 

Collectively the team must have broken a mirror as there wasn't much luck to be had and thon wee Argentinian up from was diving about all night, Hart should have stayed on his feet but the ref was a home banker.

 

Well played lads.
