Here we go again into another big game and we still don't have a settled back four. As much as I like Jozo if he can't stay fit for any length of time he becomes a liability and it's time to move him on.
Hopefully we up the performance tonight cause as of late the team has been pretty flat. A good result or performance is what we are looking for. IBWT.

Said the same thing yesterday lawman! We're constantly going into these big games at a disadvantage! The big mans injury problems are a major problem for me! Like u I really rate him and he brings a calmness to our defence, but the manager is seriously going to have to look at this in January! If it keeps up then we must buy a realise centre half! He obviously doesn't rate Erik so that leaves us with boyata as the only trusted centre half which is a massive worry!

I hope this is not a surprise to anyone given we all knew in the summer that a centre half was needed.

I hope in January that we sign a first team, first choice centre half as Jozo despite being a good defender doesn’t seem to be reliable enough when we need him most due to injury

Big question is who?

Dugs in the street knew we needed a CB better than what we have in back up. As Celtic perennially do, we dithered and failed to get one.

Is anyone surprised Simo is injured? I'm always surprised when he isn't.

Needs sorted and I hope they are working toward that now and not waiting until January to scramble about.

Major boo boo not getting a cb in especially when we know his injury history.

Two of the biggest stand-outs in the Anderlecht game were Boyata and Simunovic and I fear for any permutation that BR goes with tonight as they have so much quality and goal threats all over the park.
Lustig has been very inconsistent and Biton is never a centre back in his life, while Gamboa is still untested at any decent level? Leaving KT and Boyata to hold the fort.
Thankfully Broony is back and Nitcham will feel better after his second half in Belgium and goal on Saturday.
It's really up to the midfield and front players to do a double shift and try their best to make something happen from whatever possession we have; but it's a tough ask and not really expecting too much at such a difficult venue.
