Maeda is the key as to why we beat them. They need Tavernier , their best player, to get forward. He is neutralized by Maeda . If Maeda does what he always has, tjen Tavenier has to defend and he is shite at that, then its a Celtic win
Dont forget the Dundee game for the Rangurz will be difficult for them for 2 reasons: 1. Dundee are battling for a top 6 place and that could be worth an additional 500K and for some players that could be the difference between a new contract and being let go and 2. Their pitch is likely to be very heavy and a bit of a leveller. However, the boost of a win in this derby could be enormous. I think our squad and 11 looks really tight and slick, but their direct style is a bit of a coupon-buster and of course Clement has added other Coupon Buster tactics like taking long shots and mopping up the rebounds and standing under the arms and body of jumping opponents in the opponents box and initiating contact that induces penalties. Its clear they train and target for initiating contact from opponents and also inducing fouls outside the box so these things can be dangerous. So controlling the game is within our grasp and then having that Killer quality in the box with Kyogo Hatate and Oriley should be enough to see us over the line
We pumped 5-0 with an 1hour delay and basically no warm up once we beat you lot it will be 5 and then need a favour from another team that’s if you win all your games
Enda is on fire with his jokes. This was a very informative podcast. I learnt the national colour of Ireland. Every one is watching this weekend. Let’s see what Beaton does on the day. Let’s hope he plays it straight just to prove Alan wrong. 😂 incompetence squared.
It could be a stalemate, at some point McGregor will prob need replaced, Iwata is the obvious choice but we could also revert back to Oreily playing taking up McGregors position and allow for another offensive midfielder to come on like Daniel Kelly Bernado or Holm or a different formation and bring Idah on
great chat/ rant guys 😀 home and away xg form predicting a 2 all draw , but any variance favouring rangers , so it agrees with jj , and usually this metric tends to be more accurate at predicting the outcome than the fancy pants algos doing the rounds . based on player attacking contribution metrics , celtic have anywhere between a 15 to 30% advantage over rangers, but its dependent on the match day squad selections. starting both calmac and hatate is a dilema, calmac is great at putting pressure on rangers lines , but may not be so good at tracking cantwells patroling the line in the final third . calmac also poses a dilema for clement , in that will he make the same mistake again and not man mark calmac, becuase he thinks rangers can go toe to toe with celtic . hatate , again better for verticallity and putting pressue on rangers lines , but defensively may not be the best at helping maeda and taylor neutralise tavs threat on celtics left . there is usually a log jam in possession on tavs flank , so wouldn't at all be surprised if bernardo and iwata start. it will come down to what rodgers defines as a result ,
Alan your analysis was great. Have you tried to segment the data into two groups (hun refs) vs (the others who are possibly just incompetent). Maybe you won’t have enough data in each group but would be interesting if the trends are different
celtic win so many games comfortably regardless of ref due to the inherent weakness in quality in the league this type of analysis is pretty worthless. The target here is the SFA. If these same refs were operating under a different culture you'd probably see their performances improve.
@@alanmorrison5981you talk absolute bollocks I’ve looked at data over longer periods that contradict you.And not the only one to do that. And your first 4 penalties of which you have had same as Rangers were at 0-0 and struggling and at 1-0 down Aberdeen McLean shat it and should have sent the polish guy for every Rangers influence I can find a one that benefits Celtic can’t wait for your data excuse for tomorrow .
All about the first goal. Celtic have scored the first goal in 9 of the last 10 games v Sevco. Its 9 out of 9 in meaningful games (the dead rubber at the end of last season was the only time they scored first in the last 10 fixtures). The hoops score first and its game over, and that's why they're shiting it.
Funny you only count dead rubbers when you get beat your last 2 wins in Europe were dead rubbers Feynoord and Betis you have not won a meaningful game in Europe for nearly 5 years next time you play in Europe
Our best squad availability this year. CCV is the player that makes us a beast. Scales and Joe Harte have kept us in this league. Joe Hart is no longer the butt of Celtics defensive frailty. Having a stable defence week after week makes the whole team perform better. Is that part of the stats? who is playing when they are playing regularly together? I believe that has a massive impact on all players indvidual stats and team stats.
captain is always the only one to sacrifice themself for the team. in that way he promises more than most players. whether its that quality or just skill in the game, mcgregor has always been one to perform even when things haven't gone our way in these games
Great chat guys and excellent exposé again of the disgrace that is the SFA refereeing shambles. As a side note, in light of the new hate-speech laws, I wonder what actions Police Scotland will take when there are racist songs aired live for the world to hear? COYBIG!
It’s one thing being down due to the fact that your team lose, but when it’s down to ‘injustice’, well that’s a completely different thing. I wonder what the effect is on people’s mental wellbeing? The brazen cheek of the SFA in allocating Robertson, then Beaton, considering recent events is staggering. It’s reminiscent of the smug, smirking Deep South local sheriff, who knows he’s a racist knuckle-dragger, but he’s going to get away with it.
Always you guys come up with the best analysis for Sundays Derby. Celtic have the squad to win this game...they are able to silence the partisan crowd within Ibrox. Big Q is how much will we see Fair Play? Celtic will win 4-2 🏆 Happy Days 😂
Yes indeed, the first goal is crucial for all sorts of reasons - we score first, then we have to score a second, because one is never ever enough going into the last fifteen minutes or so & of course if they score first, particularly in the opening twenty minutes or so, then it could be a slow, painful, raucous 50,000 screaming zombies type afternoon, with another one or two goals following to cement their opener, but who is Brenda going to start with against Clementine's rabble? I agree with Alan we'll start with Wee Callum, Hatate & O'Riley in midfield, simply because in Brenda's mind, we need to be on the front foot from the get go to secure a goal or two in the first hour because that's the absolute maximum Hatate will last & the small matter too of just how productive he is, or isn't, in this hour after being out for practically all of this season & even more importantly, what mental state he is in for the battle that lies ahead, since just like every other player on little Planet Earth, he's first & foremost ONLY concerned with himself & so from his point of view, the very last thing he needs is yet another lengthy injury that could jeopardise a move in the summer & the same with O'Riley too, so on you go Mr Lundstram & please don't hurt me. And as for Wee Enda totally abandoning his absolutely correct assertion that the Kuhns & Idahs of this world are near total crap & completely NOT what we NEED, it was delightful to watch & why he did it, only he can answer, but for sure there's NO HIDING PLACE for these two tomorrow, particularly Khun who will start, but just how long he lasts, goodness only knows. So how is it going to end up? ANY kind of draw for us will be near miraculous. End of.
John Beaton isn't a victim. He is the perpetrator. If you breakdown his games from the Yorkshire Whistler catalogue over the past 2 years, whether reffing or Var, there will be a definite POA number, positive to one team/negative to the other. And that's why he had this potential title clincher for Rangers...to continue his POA. He refs games, not with some hint of unconscious bias, but with the mindset of a Rangers Supporter. That's why he gave a soft penalty against them at 2 nil up to end the 70 odd game run which was getting such scrutiny.
I don't know if this has happened, but do you think a Boca Juniors fan would referee a Superclásico, at La Bombonera, with no River Plate fans present, while the Boca fans fly flags in support of said ref? In a league title defining game? While an official, who works as a depute head PE teacher, for a school with affiliations to Boca's youth academy, is on VAR duty? That just sounds insane. That wouldn't happen in any league game, between two rivals, anywhere in the world. Surely not. SFA: 🤠
@@alanmorrison5981 cheers for including the word 'hermetic' in your SFA takedown as I had to seek out clarification of the definition #wordsarepower ✌️
The SFA are a law unto themselves and appointing Beaton comes from power and arrogance. Preceding the SFA refs there was the Scottish Referees Association which got shut out when the SFA took control of referees. SRA could Ref anywhere but Scotland.
Go check according to rest of the world Rangers have 55 titles and 118 trophies that’s the problem no matter how many times wee Timmy come up with this everywhere backs my side up not yours enjoy 56 and you call Rangers bottlers bottled LC first round 8 point lead bottle
In what way is understanding the meaning of liquidation and changing verbiage to acknowledge that, a left wing ideal? Also, the only snowflake here is you, you're raging by their refusal to say 'old firm' and utilised capitals to emphasise that rage. It's only a game of football, don't take it so seriously. The fact you do shows that you need to get out more. Enjoy the game on Sunday hunny
Brendan seems confident in his press conference. Will it be an iconic victory for Celtic! We live in hope.
Why not his record is outstanding all the talk is always about there manager never ours even tho his record is unmatched 😂
Always look forward to listening to you guys , kept up the great work
Maeda ran his legs off chasing every ball. he won us the game at Ibrox earlier in season. They're scared of him and his pace
Tav shiteing himself at the thought of facing Maeda and his new hairdo. 💇
He’s a headless chicken who occasionally scores
@@michaelcrooks5385 That's the headless chicken who keeps your best player in his place every time? 💀
Also the perfect Rangers goal mysteriously disallowed.
