If we have most of our players fit for the premier sports league cup final against them in a couple of weeks this would be my starting 11 -
Butland
Sterling
Souttar
Balogun
Jefte
Raskin
Barron
Hagi
Cerny
Danilo
Bajrami
I contemplated starting yilmaz at left back and jefte on the left wing which would have dropped hagi to the bench and played bajrami inside one, but i don't think yilmaz will be fit enough to start ?.
25 Nov 2024 13:27:48
Love that team SWS! Maybe Yilmaz before Jefte could be a possibility.
25 Nov 2024 13:40:01
Also if what ehl says about yilmaz is correct then i'd rather he played no part as its highly likely we'd be stuck with him if injured again.
25 Nov 2024 13:40:26
Jefte cannot defend. It 100% has to be yilmaz. Jefte has zero awareness. Motherwell goal at hampden and united goal at weekend showed that.
25 Nov 2024 13:49:26
Mine would be.
Gk Butland
Rb Sterling
Rcb Soutter
Lcb Balogun
Lb Yilmaz
Cm Barron
Cm Raskin
Rw Cerny
Cam Bajrami
Lw Jefte
Cf Danilo.

Said when I first seen jefte he couldn’t defend and wasn’t going to be a suitable Lb for us.
25 Nov 2024 14:36:40
Agree that would be mine mystar.
25 Nov 2024 14:59:09
Paul the goal at the weekend was down to Propper and Souttar (mostly Propper) . It came from a header in the middle of the box. When is that the area for the LB to defend?
25 Nov 2024 15:02:05
Sws, Yilmaz getting another injury like mate, because is he is not fit enough for that game getting played in around six weeks something is worse than i thought.

Brendan Rodgers has Clement all figured out. Rodgers will set his team up to dismantle Rangers, and just like last time we played them, Clement will stand with his arms folded for 80mins.
Celtic will win regardless of who Rangers have available. Clement only has one tactic, Rodgers will exploit that, and we will be embarrassed. again.
The real question is - Will Clement be sacked afterwards?
25 Nov 2024 15:24:10
That would be my team star, Jefte pace could be the difference on the left and can track back better, Danilo needs to start not saying his finishing is a lot better than Dessers but brings others into game more and creates space for them.
25 Nov 2024 15:44:26
Don't agree with that zikos both Propper and more so Jefte gets the blame from me mate, but we can all see Jefte is a talented player and only 20 years old.
25 Nov 2024 16:11:02
Zikos the ball was in between propper and jefte so nothing to do with souttar.
25 Nov 2024 16:21:56
That's the team I'd go with my star.
25 Nov 2024 16:38:40
The amount of posters who constantly love to repeat themselves on here is staggering. How many times is it necessary to remind everyone that PC only sets up one way? That Dessers is dross, Jefte can't defend, etc, etc? This site is losing a lot of what made it good- ie banter is being replaced by constant whinging.
25 Nov 2024 17:16:22
Paul, they are the centre backs, the ball went straight into their area. I genuinely don’t know what the left back is supposed to do when a ball is put into the CBs area? .
If he had tucked in (which would have been quite a bit) and the ball went back post, we would be saying he left his man unmarked at the back post and went into a CBs area which is not his to patrol.
Maybe the issue is we only had those 3 defending the cross, maybe there should have been some midfield cover in there but I wouldn't lay the blame on Jefte.
25 Nov 2024 18:05:33
Goal at the weekend was down to Barron being out of position - original cross - and Jefte not listening/ hearing Proper and tucking in which left the space for the striker.
