I woke in the night with a fever, the ball was coming in from the left,I started running like hell, the voices where getting louder and louder " Hey big yin, gaun yersel " We have a dream

It's very simple you have a mindset of playing two 5-a-side teams, you sit a player in front of a back 4 with the mindset to defend with the full backs picking their times to break, the other 5 press the team off the ball out of possession, in possession the full backs time there runs supporting the other 5 in attack.

Before the game I didn't think there was a need to play both Jack and McGregor, keeping Jack for the Spain game would've been my preferred choice giving his injury problems,the energy in the last 20 minutes from McTominay and Christie is something we will need for 90 minutes against Spain, for me this is where the problem is, I've said on the Spain thread I would go 4-3-3 but don't see Clarke doing that.

Most of the squad aren't getting decent game time which has it's own problems, the game isn't about the first eleven any more M8. Spain are a squad in transition and still developing for me it's a good time to play them,Clarke is ahead in that regard.

That's your opinion M8, I disagree there attributes and abilities are very different which means they're better being in the same side not one for the other.

For me Jack and McTominay are totally different midfielders, Jack reads the game better and can control a midfield dictate the play all these things McTominay still needs to learn plus there is no way Jack could do what McTominay did when he came on yesterday.

But we can talk about it on here M8, if Morata plays we don't need to worry about the ball over the top but different if it's Joselu,for me this is why we've got to flood the midfield to stop the source and play with a back four.

You maybe right if Spain go with Morata but if they go with Joselu I would stick with Hanley.

We're allowed 16 players M8.

McTominay isn't a direct replacement for Jack,Ferguson is. The 3 should be McGregor,Jack and McTominay with Armstrong/Christie and McGinn supporting Dykes.

I was at the 2-3 game just to see Iniesta,this Spain squad has no where near the same quality of that team 15 years ago. McGregor had a great night in goal plus Naismith had one of his best games in a Scotland jersey, if it wasn't for McManus getting caught under the ball we could've got the draw. This Spain side can be got at,we should be taking the game to them and at least get the draw. I don't want to see a 4-5-1 from Clarke, we should be going 4-3-3 in their faces performance.

Agree, I think with McTominey and Christie coming on and playing well,it gives Clarke a good headache. It's easy to say the guys that came on should start on Tuesday,the passive aggressive approach will not work against Spain imo. we need to be in their faces,I didn't think there was a need to have Jack and McGregor in this game but it duz allow players like Armstrong to have more space to hurt the opposition.

Maybe that's why hes the 3rd Kinky.

The young pretender knows his place just like his mum.

Is that the one that goes if we spend a fiver .......

Players know what they're doing leaving a leg in to injure player that's trying to clear the ball stupid yellow.

Thought Hibs played well yesterday,Campbell and Doyle-Hayes worked their socks off, Kyogo should be scoring with his head instead of trying to be clever still a good save from Marshall. Again the stop start nature of the game didn't help Celtic,McLean didn't allow the game to flow plus Hatate going off injured didn't help Turnbull looks like hes lacking confidence. Good to see OH and Haksabanovic making a difference from the bench.

Every Celtic fan on here has said the ref was shit yesterday M8.

I think UEFA like the idea of a UK league but for me I want nothing to do with the English setup.

He also said both CCV and Taylor will play tomorrow.

Like your post, the phoenix could've had two meanings tae, a sly dig at the club we were playing or the IRA connection down to interpretation David.
