A lot of flurry but nothing too serious. We should be able to make some space if they get tired. We've always suffered against physical teams & this is no different. We have to keep the ball.
Celtic have played into our hands here though. All that high tempo play will eventually tire them. we are soaking up the pressure without too much difficulty. a few fresh players with fresh legs in the second half and we should be able to push on
I'm gonna use a Zach way of posting now; you are a tool.
I'm saying so because you are.
Not a single team in the world wouldn't be influnced by the electric atmosphere at Celtic Park tonight. And Barcelona have already lost here. Do you think that was a coincidence?
we are losing vucinic on the front, barzagli made some terrible pass, awesome display by peluso, their early crossing is dangerous, dirty tactic by hopper, brown can suck pirlo's dick

Somehow we have ended the half in the lead. Thankfully our attack was efficient. We need to hold the ball, don't play the long ball into nothing. That suits them. When there is an opening go for it, but it shouldn't be the first option. When we attack they look scared, we need to do more of it. The stats are going to look horrid at HT but we have the lead. Midfield needs to step up. I would argue for someone like Gio to come on at some point to make runs behind. Anelka might be interesting as well. Peluso is my man of the half.
Dude, to be honest the 'whole sit back and get raped' thing is standard Juve tactics when we are playing physically thugish opposition (which is perfectly fine as a tactic) The idea/hope is that you will be fucked after 60mins and we will dominate. Alternatively we can bring of Pogba (better than Wayamamama) and Anelka and do what we are doing now but with more presence in midfield and up front.
Celtic have done exactly what I expected, go for the jugular, essentially the only tactic if you are inferior on paper.
