Backlash Sunday

833

It is difficult to overstate the importance of Sunday’s cup final to Motherwell. They have won as many major trophies in the last 65 years as Celtic have won European Cups in the same period. What an opportunity they have.

Sunday might be just another final to you and me, or more importantly, to the Celtic players, but it is a date with destiny for all at Motherwell.

Right now, Celtic players will still be de-escalating emotions from Wednesday night. It is difficult to switch from one emotional peak straight into an equally intense state, but if we do not find our sharpness or thought and body, the Invincible trail will end this weekend.

I don’t think that will happen; there should be a backlash from Celtic. The open wounds from Wednesday will be used as fuel. The players have been slapped about by the hurt of defeat and will want to avoid a repeat on a national cup final. If Motherwell want to win, score a goal, or if they even want to pass the ball, they will have to operate at a level they have only attained for seconds this season.

The stakes are as high for both teams. Let’s hope the matter is decided without controversy.

Have a great and memorable day at Hampden.

  6. It is a truism that we learn more from a defeat than a victory. And no doubt BR will have learned more about his team from our games against PSG and Bayern than he ever will in games against Kilmarnock and Dundee no disrespect. The principle job of a defender is to defend. Playing in the SPL does not afford our defenders much experience in the art of defending as we witnessed on Wednesday. Defending well both individually and as a unit is a skill we must learn if are going to progress as a football team. Hh

    Your nom de plume has a lot in common with her she changed her name to.

     

     

    She also changes it on 1st of December every year to Mrs Claus and it costs a fortune.

    His take on the Jozo tackle was pathetic
