Two Up Front

We're getting to the stage when Brendan can't leave Griff on the bench when he's fully fit, and he can't leave Moussa out either.

I think he'll go with 2 up front just like he did when he needed to accommodate Suarez and Sturridge at Liverpool. But what will he change the formation to?

3-4-1-2, like he did at Liverpool, with Rogic behind the strikers, Gamboa and Tierney as wing backs and Lustig in the back 3.

3-4-3, with Sinclair in place of Rogic.

4-1-3-2, with probably Bitton missing out. Can't see him dropping his captain. Mind you, he wasn't afraid to do that with Stevie G when it was necessary.

What do we think?

I'd say the 4-1-3-2 is probably more likely.

But the thing with BR is that his shape isn't set in stone, he often varies it from game to game and also during the games.

I think he'll find a way to accommodate both. However, can see Moussa getting the nod in European games.

Domestically, until we lose a game or two, BR will only pay one of them up front as Rogic (in the number 10 role) is crucial to the way we play. Of course, if we are losing or drawing a game, I can see both of them playing together

True Henrik, one sitting player won't do in Europe.

352, MON formation

Mick

I'm thinking the same, but with Tam further forward than Stan used to be in the 3-4-1-2.

After what happened in Barcelona, think BR will be reluctant to try 3/5 at the back

Can't wait until next Saturday for the game against Motherwell. The Scotland game was up there with lots of other Scottish games. Back to real football please - Celtic!
