ejksjfc Posted February 7, 2019 Report Share Posted February 7, 2019 This is the one I want to win, I am not saying we are going to but we have a chance, if we win this we would have a very good chance of going all the way. Let’s dump the negativity get right behind the team and see where it takes us. # killthetrebltreble COYS Norsaint 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMac Posted February 7, 2019 Report Share Posted February 7, 2019 Here's hoping we can up our game and somehow pull off a win. COYS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave H Posted February 7, 2019 Report Share Posted February 7, 2019 We've had 2 games as practice v em. They'll be complacent. We'll miraculously find our form. Tommy has been working on this match for 4 games now. Players know what is required. I was hoping to go, but now can't. Let's hope we have a good few fans there to celebrate with our players at full time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rik2304 Posted February 8, 2019 Report Share Posted February 8, 2019 TW to set up 9 men behind the ball and hoping that Mikey can catch them on the counter. We'll hold a decent shape until one of the back 4 inevitably switches off for a second. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy Posted February 8, 2019 Report Share Posted February 8, 2019 Craig, Goss and Davidson in the centre, Wotherspoon and MOH on either wing, then Kane up front, for me. Who knows how you play them, Rodgers is too smart to not have worked out how we played them on Sunday so he'll have a plan for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radford 72 Posted February 8, 2019 Report Share Posted February 8, 2019 There must be a way to counter Celtic which doesn't involve either ten men behind the ball or getting mullered 6-0. But we need to give them more to worry about than a week past Wednesday. They press you early and high but if you can beat that, there is definitely space to exploit. Anyone heading through that usually wouldn't go to Celtic Park? Be nice to have a few more fans than usual there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintJet Posted February 8, 2019 Report Share Posted February 8, 2019 This is going to be another battle of attrition. Familiarity and two good tacticians will make this very close unless someone from Saints lets their guard down early and then it's very difficult to see us come back if we open up and push for a leveler. I hate to say this and even contemplate it but I can see a return tie in Perth- God save us! sixties saintee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valentino Bolognese Posted February 8, 2019 Report Share Posted February 8, 2019 Can't make this one but confident despite all evidence pointing the other way. Probably won't even get to see it on the telly. Zander Foster - Jas + Joe - Tanser Matty Davidson Goss Craig MOH Watt Last throw of the dice for Tony IMO. We've seen so much quality with so little return, time for him to step up on the big stage. Worried about Tanser getting turned inside out by Forrest yet again and not sure that MOH can be relied upon for cover, so maybe another option there. On Sunday we let them stroll down the middle of the park like they were taking the dug for a walk on the North Inch, can't let that happen again.

Johnny B Posted February 8, 2019 Report Share Posted February 8, 2019 Having watched the last two games, the tactic Celtic do well is closing down. We will not get an opportunity to play it out from the back. Our best tactic is direct play. So need someone to win the first and most likely the second balls. Do not crowd the wings let the wingers get one on one and hope for the best. Pointless playing for a draw need to be more aggressive and if it's 6 it 6 but at least we had a go.

SconeSaintees Posted February 8, 2019 Report Share Posted February 8, 2019 I agree have a go!! if you pack the defence surrender 60% of the field to them let them come at you for 90 mins with the hope of a break away the end result is inevitable as is the result. By all means defend well for the ENTIRE 90 odd mins but have real go at them any team that has had success against them has done that. We all know their main weakness is defensively let'stry and exploit that. 1-0 Saints, Goss to score Norsaint 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy Posted February 8, 2019 Report Share Posted February 8, 2019 It's easy to say "have a go", but how exactly do you think Saints should do that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garydavidson Posted February 8, 2019 Report Share Posted February 8, 2019 I would absolutely love it if we played complete "anti-football" and won it by one nil. The Celtic fans I know are being awful this season, don't think they can take the pressure of not having a 13 point gap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

541ntees Posted February 8, 2019 Report Share Posted February 8, 2019 Celtic will have most of the ball and normally i hate this tactic but let them have it soak up the pressure and hit them on the counter, tell Matty n Moh not come back over the half way line give their defense something to worry about.

Cagey Posted February 9, 2019 Report Share Posted February 9, 2019 After 5 games of trying to confuse Brendan with different formations ,will it work on Sunday ?. If we get through this one there is a chance of a decent run into final. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SconeSaintees Posted February 9, 2019 Report Share Posted February 9, 2019 Think we ended up only confusing ourselves. Hopefully TW will revert to a tried and tested system. 1-0 Saints Goss to score free kick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
