Ogbonna injured already

Strange wasn't it. It looked like he stayed kneeling long after everyone else and I wondered then if he had an issue.

Should really be 2-1

Antonio and Bowen both had 1 vs 1 that their keepers saved

IronHerb

When was the last time Antonio scored from a 1v1? 😂

Not quite 1 vs 1, but just turned around CB and the GK to score

Proper CF play that

IronHerb

That was always going to happen. 😀

Lukerz

Antonio on fire

And now he's scores an actual 1 vs 1 for his 2nd

Ironherb - think Mikey took exception to your earlier comment ⚽️⚽️⚒⚒😂

Make sure you report for duty on the match thread when the season kicks off!

Noble penno

3-1

Enjoying this

MrsGrey

Can't believe Antonio and Benrahma debating which if them would take it

WHU_Champo_league_in_7_years

Really enjoy Lanzini at CM, something in him that reminds me (stylistically) of Luka Modric

Don't think him alongside Noble is a good idea (for a Prem game), leaves us a bit weak but if we want to rest one of Rice or Soucek think he can slot in alongside the other one

Wouldn't be shocked to see him play there a lot in Europe where we might the against weaker teams and need to break them down

defence looks all over the place. But we look like Leicester in their title winning season when countering.

WHU_Champo_league_in_7_years

Really enjoyed that....Good tempo, end to end

Defence doesn't look good but it's so open it's almost a given

Some really good play from us and Antonio is having his way

Cletic also only a week away from their first league game plus already competiting in Europe, good run out this

Lukerz

Randolph needs replacing

WHU_Champo_league_in_7_years

Celtic get a 2nd

Really poor from Randolph, easy enough a save

Well that seems the plan with Johnstone/Areola links (gotta assume Fab is going nowhere)

WHU_Champo_league_in_7_years

4-2

Great counter, classy finish from Benrahma

OldCastleSwift

Antonio going off for Johnson. Presumably that means Bowen upfront and either of the right backs on the wing?

This is why we need at least two forward players.

Lukerz

5-2, Bowen

Lukerz

How did Benrahma not make it 6?

OldCastleSwift

Not a bad outing this, considering we're missing Rice, Soucek, Coufal and Ogbonna.

IronHerb

And Yarmo 😂

It's unlikely to be a switch we'd be making once our squad is back to normal though.

MrsGrey

Is this Celtics best XI?

thornburyiron

Don’t know but their season kicks off next Saturday.

6-2

I'm not so sure. If Bowen goes central (or is injured) who's playing RW with Yarmo reportedly on his way out?

MrsGrey

Lanzini?

I was just really thinking that 1 new player would do, to replace Lingard?

Obvs if Yarmo leaves we'd want to replace him to, but not 2 in addition. If you see what I mean.
