Is Bits 'n' Pieces still the goal music?

That might explain why we are refusing to score any

Good point. Get Sweet Caroline blastin through the tannoy every goal and we'll be seeing 8-3 scorelines just to keep the song going.

Pish first half.

Midfield is missing.  The trio of McGinn, McLean and McGregor have been absolutely shite. They're not involved with the game at all. None of them are getting forward to support Brophy and it's leaving Forrest to come off his wing when staying wider would put him in a better position to pick up Fraser's over-hit crosses. Absolutely no creativity from anywhere other than the left flank.

Need to make changes. You'd want to see a central midfielder pushing on and offering support around the edge of the box. Needs more creativity too. I'd be swapping Forrest and one of the midfield 3. Take your pick wide from Burke or Russell and maybe Armstrong in the middle.

McGinn, McLean and McGregor are basically all the same player. We need a midfielder who wants to get in the box and can play a killer pass.

Id put burke up top to press their defence, mclean off and go 442, the centre mids don't look like they wanna support the strikers so f**k it they can sit deeper and let the wingers support the two front men

Must be similar meltdowns on Vin et Fromage looking at the HT score in Turkey.

 

ETA, just realised my error in mixing languages in my original post.

Everyone loves an over reaction, how was Brophy any worse than anybody else, how would the options we have on the bench upfront be any better?

He wasn't and they wouldn't

A nervy start, but after we settled we had a decent spell but very little in the way of quality.

Wtf is going on with the midfield 3 ?

Could at least one of them actually attempt to get within 10 yards of Brophy or make a run beyond him plz.

Sometimes justified, half time after a fairly average half though it just seems stupid

For perspective, Belgium beat them 2-0

Convinced people don't actually watch or take interest in any other international games and just see a country that's not the most glamorous name and think we should pump them

 

Indeed. Cyprus are no mugs, but we have been pedestrian.

Belgium were 2 up after 18 minutes and cruised the rest of the way through.

Clark has zero experience managing in Europe. Might not be the messiah everybody thinks he is. Not a good start anyway with that team hes put out.
 

Aye, the blazers have got it wrong again, he's out of his depth.

We need a clear out and a fresh start.
