I believe our last home domestic cup draw was Queens Park , How good was Ambrose last night ?? A midfield of Brown , Ambrose , Victor and Ledley will do the business away in Moscow on Tuesday night .
But where will they play Ledley left brown right? Sammy should start that game on the left Ledley and an other in the middle and if brown right who plays in behind Hooper? ****ing great to have options.
Ambrose was very impressive, I know it was only Raith but he looks to be yet another good option in centre mid.
I would play Samaras up top himself with Forrest or Commons behind him ,and Mulgrew ( who was poor last night ) taking over Izzie left back spot . Lennon has assembled the strongest squad we've ever had but O'neill team was the best 11 had only 3/4 squad players . Next week in Moscow we will have some very good players sitting on the bench
hooper up top supported by sammy and commons brown, vic and ledley in the middle lustig, wilson, rogne mulgrew at the back (lustig for the physical over matthews) sub wilson or rogne for ambrose potentially
Thought Ambrose, McGeouch and Matthews were all superb last night. Forrest is having a hard time of it due to the number of guys being played directly against him. At times last night he had the LB, LM and the left sided CM all trying to shut him down at the same time. Just needs to understand when to release the ball a bit better in situations like that.
Away in Russia I would play two lines of four. Sammy if fit floating around on the left side and Hooper scoring up front. Forrest and Commons coming on for last 30 minutes depending on what's happening. Might play Matthews and Izzy at full backs as both would be well protected. Wilson and Charlie centre backs. I think Rogne wasn't great last night either. Brown Amb. Vic and Ledley in midfield would almost make the defence redundant.
