O'Donnell needs to stop getting to far ahead of himself. Both McGregors look good.

McLeish in this and the Albania match clearly has us playing 3-5-2 not 5-3-2 so he’s mainly in the right position. The holding midfielders need to cover when SOD or Robertson are going forward but McDonald seems to lack the mobility to do this so sits in the centre. McGinn is great going forward but I’m not sure it’s in his game to always think of the coverage needed.

The purpose of McDonald is supposed to be to protect and support the defence, right? He's looked off the pace and been leaving our defenders exposed since about the fifth minute. 

Yes it is, however he himself is being exposed by the dreadful McGinn on his right and McGregor on his left, when you're playing in the middle by yourself effectively any half decent competent side will pass it around you, Israel are getting space all over the park, down the wings they've got the beating off our fullbacks, through the middle we've got no protection while simultaneously offering nothing going forward. To put all our woes squarely on the door of McDonald is bizarre and we'll wide off the mark.
