They're better than Celtic so no need for fucking about with the ball at the back too much as our defence isn't up to it. I don't fancy Bogarde as a full back at all.  They'd exploit it to the full.

Surely Garcia at full back. Ķamara at CB and Bogart in midfield

Or a return to the Arsenal-destroying sitting midfield of McGinn and Tielemans with Bailey / Rogers / Ramsey ahead of them.

Kamara is our best midfielder. Play him in midfield.

Kamara is our best midfielder. Play him in midfield.

But he's arguably our best centre-back as well at the moment.

He also looked like our best defender on Wednesday. I think he’s just our best player to be honest.

There is that.

Kamara is our best midfielder. Play him in midfield.

And there is that.

Clone him and play him in both positions.

You might well be right. I just feel that when we're at our best, it's down to our midfield, and I wouldn't want to risk that.

Oh i completely agree with you, Im just not sure about the alternatives at the back at the moment. Hopefully just this game to get through, before we get Mings back.

Think Kamara is a better CH than Bogarde, and the latter looks more comfortable in midfield so I'd go with that.

My worry is celtic are pretty shit. Cunha is a much better player than anything celtic have.

Its a hard one for me with limited options  we have. I simply cannot believe we have not signed another cb for this game. If konsa gets injured  we are totally effed.

Digne - Bogarde - Konsa - Garcia

IMO. If Digne goes off, bring on Maatsen. If any of the others go off, panic.
