Rob Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 (edited) Saturday night in so here's my starting XI. Can go more attacking if still in game after 60 mins. Naismith C. McGregor D. Fletcher McArthur Mulgrew Burke Robertson Berra Martin Hutton A. McGregor Edited August 30, 2014 by Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tartan blood Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Saturday night in so here's my starting XI. Can go more attacking if still in game after 60 mins. Naismith C. McGregor D. Fletcher McArthur Mulgrew Burke Robertson Berra Martin Hutton A. McGregor Callum McGregor is certainly talented amd could turn into a full international in the near future. But there is no way he is ready to start against the world champions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JECK Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 if we're still in at after 60 mins, doubt i'd be alive by 90. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted August 30, 2014 Author Share Posted August 30, 2014 I would normally agree Tartan Blood, but only other options on the left of midfield are Anya and Maloney and both have hardly played this season. That's my logic anyway and assume is the reason he's in the squad given his age and lack of experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are obviously a person that feels every player should be playing regularly to get in the team. It certainly does help. But we also want to play our best and most experienced players. Hutton has performed well for the last year despite lack of game time. The same with McFadden in the past. Anya and Maloney have big game experience so if they are physically fit then I won't be disappointed seeing either starting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robroysboy Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Martin and Hanley are the first choice centre halfs. Did Naismith score against Chelsea today? He's on fire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rory Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 3 goals in 3 games for Naismith this season ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ormond Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Marshall Hutton Martin Hanley Robertson Fletcher Mulgrew McCarthur Morrison Anya Naismith Good side. Although it's a tough one who to pick out of Marshall and McGregor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peedie Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 McGregor Hutton Martin Hanley Robertson Fletcher Mulgrew Morrison Maloney Anya Naismith That is what the starting line up will be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PASTA Mick Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 I hope we play Naismith behind Fletcher. Marshall; Hutton; Hanley, Martin, Robertson; Fletcher, McArthur; Morrison, Naismith, Anya; Fletcher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parklife Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 I hope we play Naismith behind Fletcher. Marshall; Hutton; Hanley, Martin, Robertson; Fletcher, McArthur; Morrison, Naismith, Anya; Fletcher. That's probably what I'd pick. I don't really rate Anya but his pace and ability to run with the ball could be our best attacking outlet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PASTA Mick Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 That's probably what I'd pick. I don't really rate Anya but his pace and ability to run with the ball could be our best attacking outlet. I agree. I'd be tempted to play Forysth at left-back and Robertson further forward instead of Anya but there is no way WGS will do that in this game.

John_B81 Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Think it will be... Marshall Hutton, Hanley, Martin, Robertson Fletcher, Mulgrew Morrison, Maloney, Anya Naismith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PASTA Mick Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Naismith up front on his own would be daft. He's doing well for Everton supporting a lone forward and that his his best role. Let him support S.Fletcher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bannannan Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Biggest worry is that Hanley wasn't very good yesterday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisgemmelluk Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Im personal just happy Hutton getting some game time for villa again this season and iv heard he actually playing quite well. Maloney played and set up wigans 4th goal yesterday so id give him nod over mcgregor on experience alone but these kids gotta start somewhere and he has been One bright lights with celtic so far this early on but dont seen wsg picking him for a starting spot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisgemmelluk Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Mulgrew been pretty rotten for celtic so far but think he has been missing browm so maybe fletcher will keep him right in midfield. Im guessing fletcher will captain the side also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisgemmelluk Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Pretty much same as pasta mick but mcgregor in for Marshall Mcgregor Hutton; Hanley, Martin, Robertson Morrison,D.Fletcher, McArthur, Anya Naismith S Fletcher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Third Lanark Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Naismith up front on his own would be daft. He's doing well for Everton supporting a lone forward and that his his best role. Let him support S.Fletcher. Totally agree. Can't believe so many are going for Naisy up front; he was only used there because of injuries. Though Sfletch hasn't scored yet, there are always goals in him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisgemmelluk Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Fletcher has only scored one goal for us but he is best option up front and will at least hassle germany back 4 with his height and physical presence and to be honest dont know much about chris martin from derby so cant comment on him apart from fact iv never liked Coldplay!

Peedie Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Totally agree. Can't believe so many are going for Naisy up front; he was only used there because of injuries. Though Sfletch hasn't scored yet, there are always goals in him. It all comes down to the system Strachan is trying to play, Naismith up top fits that bill perfectly. Also with it being in Dortmund against the world champs I really don't think Fletch will start up top, as much as I would like to see that,(and I'm sure in other games that will be the case) it will all be about packing the midfield with Naisy running about like a less smiley Kenny Miller up top.

Alan Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 McGregor - GK Hutton - RB Hanley - CH Martin - CH Robertson - LB Very happy with GK and full backs. Centre halves are still a concern. They have had some decent performances but are still playing 2nd tier football in England. Mulgrew -DM Fletcher - DM Happy with this. Mulgrew has great distribution and we all know what Fletch can do. The 3 midfielders I'd go for. Dorrans C McGregor Morrison Dorrans has been playing regular and Morrison never lets us down. McGregor can be our wild card. Playing well for Celtic, is positive and will have no fear only young players have. Naismith - CF can hold ball up. Makes space. Clever player and surprising good in the air. Scores more than Steven Fletcher for club and country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
