John Lambies Doos Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Time to start a thread. I think McLeish should cap some new players and play a very attacking team, I'd go 4 4 2. Archer Patterson McKenna Mulgrew Robertson Forrest McGinn Armstrong Fraser McBurnie Cummings Not a game for McTominay to start but would cap him off bench if we are ahead and need to be more defensive minded.

PB 4.2 Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Not really understanding why it's "not a game for ( Man Utd regular) McTominay to start" yet you've Armstrong who's played about 20 min football back from injury? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tree house tam Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 That's a weak as f**k team and would be rightly pumped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valid point and I'm a big fan of McTominay. I guess my thought process and from what I've seen is that he seems more suited against better teams. He's excellent at breaking play up and disrupting attacks but against Costa Rica I would like to see more of an attacking outfit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admittedly it's an experimental team suited to a home friendly. We need to develop strength in depth at international level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LinkinFighter Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Costa Rica are a better team than Scotland. They got to the quarter finals in Brazil ffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Lambies Doos Posted March 21, 2018 Author Share Posted March 21, 2018 Costa Rica are a better team than Scotland. They got to the quarter finals in Brazil ffs. Nobody is saying they are not although they are hardly top class. Its a team we should be having a real go at; especially at home in a friendly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's a friendly, but we're never going to line up like that competitively, so it's pointless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CM. Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 First game for me since the last minute 2-2 draw with Poland. Sensible pricing at a score a ticket for the North. Similar pricing for the nations league could see better turnouts than anticipated for it but that arguments for another thread. Think Mulgrew will definitely play in this one as Blackburn have a league game on the Thursday following the Hungary game (cheers sky) so he will probably sit out Hungary or only play a small part.

John Lambies Doos Posted March 21, 2018 Author Share Posted March 21, 2018 Are Costa Rica not planning to attack us? Of course but I'd like us to have a real go.. toe to toe; rather than sit back, disrupt and nick a set piece goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archer Paterson Hanley Mulgrew Robertson McTominay McGinn Forrest McGregor Fraser McBurnie This would be my team as well with the only possible exception being McBurnie out for Cummings. It's encouraging how many good, technical footballers we have, particularly in midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think playing McTominay means we'd sit back and steal a goal from a set piece. You can play McTominay in there with McGregor and Armstrong (or McGinn) and still have an attacking team. It's about balance, it doesn't have to be park the bus or all out attack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunz Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Despite Tierney being injured I still expect McLeish to go 3-5-2. Don’t see the point in only playing that if we have both Tierney and Robertson fit. Tierney At LCB and Robertson LWB with Douglas as back up. For this game I’d go McGregor Hanley Mulgrew McKenna Forrest Armstrong McTominay Cairney Robertson Fraser McBurnie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dullard Bluteau Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 I thought it was accepted that Hanley is one of the worst players ever to represent Scotland ? as for McTominay, Cairney and McBurnie..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
