Poet of the Macabre Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 14 minutes ago, RandomGuy. said: Just seen clips of the goals, so cant have any real opinion. But here we go... First two goals are a mix of Shinnie being caught out, Bain standing still watching things happen instead of moving, and no communication at all between Bain, Shinnie and McKenna. Third goal is a perfect summation, as Shinnie let's the goalscorer go, Bains planted to his line, and McKenna seems to be expecting either one to get it, and gets caught in two minds as nobody is telling him what's happening behind him. Cant help but feel a keeper who actually speaks and moves, and a left back who is natural there (thought Shinnie might be, but he looked like someone out of position), and this result doesn't happen. Aye, get in the St Johnstone duo and this all could have been avoided... McLeish talking about a "bright start" when we were 2-0 down after 10 mins Get him in the care home ffs.

Bishop Briggs Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 9 hours ago, Desp said: That would be some sell. "Here random English fella. You fancy flying out to Kazakhstan for a wee game? The chances are you'll never play for Scotland again as we have many, many left backs that are much better than you, but we're stuck for this one qualifying game". Calm doon. Shinnie at left-back will be absolutely fine. Shinnie was out of his depth. McLeish should have called up a replacement LB but fucked it up as usual.

Arbroathlegend36-0 Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Been at work so recorded the match. Managed to watch the first 10 minutes and after being 2 down I went straight to my phone to check FT result and now I’m watching something else. Thank god I’ve not wasted anymore of my time watching that p1sh!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I struggle with mental illness but try to be positive. I often fail but I keep trying. I know, it was just a gentle chide. If it will help I'll drop Skidmarks from my team on the other thread and play you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had over eighty minutes to recover, and such is the nature of football that it's hardly an uncommon thing to have to overcome set-backs. A settled team with experienced players can recover. We had 3 players with a decent level of experience in football and a side which barely knew each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Blades Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Hayley McQueen is pathetic Correct, but she would still be my pick above Shinnie at LB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just about every single one of our players plays at a higher level than their counterparts of today; it's on McLeish to get his side to know each other and to coach them such that, and I can't believe I'm saying this, we can play with some discernible semblance of a gameplan against sides ranked below the top 100. No excuse is adequate for what unfolded there, led by a manager so unbelievably hopeless that you really can't make any excuses or suggest that a few better players would've drastically changed the result.

gc_smfc Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 McLeish is a football dinosaur, who just isn't in touch with football never mind how international football is played.So few teams play, or are capable of playing a 4-3-3 formation internationally. When a team sits in and you have just played some quick guys to get in behind, like fifa, you're going to struggle to create anything. Never mind when your midfield doesn't press the ball and your back four are entirely at sea, allowing two easy goals in the first 10 minutes. Followed by no tactical changes. Most away games we should be playing 4-5-1, and attempting to allow any of our more gifted players to create. McGregor, McGinn and Armstrong were all anonymous but somehow done more than the front three. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't build a team in four or five training sessions. Playing Shinnie at left back was the wrong option but we didn't have any good options.

DA Baracus Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Just heard some of McLeish's post match interview. Incredible stuff. He said we had loads of inexperienced players. He fucking picked not only the squad but also the team! Worst , he said that he told the players to move the ball fast and TAKE AS FEW TOUCHES AS POSSIBLE!!! That's abysmal bullshit. Caveman, negative bollocks. Cowardly even. He was then asked if he felt down after the defeat, to which he replied "I feel down after game". Quite the Freudian slip.

Hampden Diehard Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Get McLeish tae f**k. That's all you need to say. Aimless punts up the park and guys who can't pass a ball 10 yards. Add to that, defenders asleep and who can't track a runner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playing Shinnie at left back was the wrong option but we didn't have any good options. Every single one of those guys, other than Bain and Palmer(?) have been in multiple squads before. It shouldn't take some great tactical fluency to produce a semi-coherent performance against a far worse team. No excuse for that performance, no matter how you spin it.
