Starting XI v Israel

[Craig McCulloch Burley]

Who player of scotland to line up face Israel tuesday night?

[DA Baracus]

Has to be the same XI for me

[Guest SPLOOGESTAIN]

I would say change Paterson but with who? Since we apparently can't find a single decent right-back out of over 5 million people (I'm a right-back, just putting that out there).

 

Other than that, I don't see a reason to change anything from the other night.

Another vote for same XI. The way the game went on Saturday means we should be fresh enough without rotating and I think it'd be good for confidence .

[LinkinFighter]

Same team as Albania.

[M0rtonfc]

It should and most likely will be the same 11 that pumped Albania, no reason to change it. I'm confident we'll take care of business at Hampden, it'll be a frustrating night, they'll sit in and defend for their lives, praying for an early goal, cmon lads!!!

Got to be the same starting XI. No need to change it. We need to utilise Fraser and Forrest to try and break Israel down, who will come looking for a draw and hit us on the break.

Key that we don’t start getting frustrated and punting needless balls into the box. That will play into their hands.

Paterson is all I would consider changing for this game too but as you say there's nobody to replace him with. Has to be same again in that case. 

Dabbur will be a much bigger test for Bates and McKenna than anything Albania had to offer so they'll need to be switched on. I know Zahavi missed their last game against us, not sure if he's fit for this one?

The best way to score goals is to get the ball into the opposition’s box. The more often you do it, the more chances to score you will have.

I’m therefore a bit perplexed why you think that getting the ball into the opposition’s box would either be needless or playing into their hands.

NOT getting the ball into the box would be needless and playing into their hands IMO.

Zahavi and Dabbur will run riot against that defence. 

 

They’ll treat Paterson like a Palestinian.

I would have thought that the best thing to do would be to persuade Alan Hutton to come out of retirement for this game to help us out.

Pep Guardiola called. He said he read your post and then he just started crying.

So we replace one Right-Back who can't defend with another one who can't defend, is that what you're saying???

Alan Hutton has done very well for himself as a right back despite not being able to defend, is that what you are saying?

Pep Guardiola tells his players to try and score goals by keeping the ball out of the opposition’s penalty box?

Posts like yours always amuse me

It's really sad that you think it makes a difference. If anything, having less able players makes it even more important that passes in forward areas are good quality, not rushed, and coming in from good positions. You only need a couple of good chances to win a game of football. Poor chances are worthless, the era of "put it in the mixer" is over.

Thankfully, in Ryan Fraser and Andy Robertson we have two players who can get deep and then deliver quality from wide areas. But if you're thinking of lumping long balls to James Forrest and Ryan Christie...

Should probably stick with the same team that started on Saturday. Confident we will win this one. How many tickets have been sold?

[Guest bernardblack]

Same eleven for me.

Don’t see us keeping a clean sheet but there’s plenty goals in our team

You know you stuff.
Good call.
