Problem is, this was one of his better games for Scotland. He (like a few others) is not good enough for this level. Does that include our overrated midfielders ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeeTillEhDeh Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 Strange to use Rashford as the example with all the ones you could pick in that league, I don’t remember ever seeing Man Utd (or anyone else) valuing Rashford at £100m. Maybe I’ve missed something. For McBurnie I think the manager does get affected by price tags a lot. We do too. If we had drawn 0-0 tonight without McBurnie I would guess the majority of comments on here would be around the manager not using a £20m striker.Various new articles last season when Real Madrid are sniffing about.My mistake -some morons think he is worth £200m.https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/1067004/Man-Utd-transfer-news-LIVE-Chelsea-Aston-Villa-Rashford-Pochettino-Bailly-Solskjaer 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeeTillEhDeh Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 Mulgrew is shite, he should be nowhere near that team.Agreed. He's at least 2 years past his best by date. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkoRaj Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 Ryan Jack was the exact kind of shitebag that would have slotted into that midfield without improving it in any way. Absolutely anonymous last week, same as those non-entities playing tonight 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We needed our best players to step up and be counted when the going got tough, and it just Our players cannot do the basics sometimes eg play one twos properly 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeTillEhDeh Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 Bizarre analysis on Sky which seems to suggest that Russia only got on top in the second half. They battered us for two thirds of the first one too.Nearer 80% I would say - we scored then immediately went on the back foot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venti Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 Problem with McBurnie is that he doesn't have the situational awareness when to head it down to a teammate, or chest it down. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddiemunster Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 I thought we were good until we scored, then we shat the bed and were all over the place any time Russia ran at us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack would have made little difference tonight, although there's certainly a case for his inclusion at right back over O'Donnell. He may get his chance against Belgium, but the midfield 3 were in on merit tonight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacky1990 Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 We didnt play well tonight, but lets not over react. Here's my view: Marshall - some great saves. Solid keeper. 8 O'Donnell - clearly out his depth at international level. We need Tiernay back asap, or someone to push through youth level at right back. 4 Mulgrew - i'm not a Mulgrew fan, but he was okay tonight. Nothing great. Nothing shit. Took a bit of responsibility in the final few minutes on the ball. 6 Cooper - should have debuted ages ago. I quite liked the look of him against a tough opponent. 6 Robertson - doesnt do the things he does well for Liverpool in a Scotland shirt. Sloppy in possession. Wasnt given space to run into. 5 McTominay - like him as a player. Sloppy now and again but there far too much room between him and the rest of the midfield, not his fault. 6 McGregor - i'm a big fan, but he was awful tonight. 4 McGinn - goal apart, he was anonymous. Far too far forward whenever we had the ball, didnt get involved in play. Complete passenger. 5 Forrest - didnt receive the ball anywhere near enough. Didnt get into the game. 5 Fraser - most threatening attacking player, just didnt get involved enough. Worked hard as well. 6 McBurnie - thought he did okay considering the service he was given. Worked hard. Doesnt look much of a goal threat but i find it hard to criticise him tonight. 5 Of the subs, Ryan Christie looked great. Needa to start Monday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harry94 Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 Stevie Clarke has zero European experience as a manager before getting this job. Getting kilmarnock to 3rd in a poor Scottish league shouldn't mean he is some kind of messiah. This was always going to be a big gamble giving him the job. Listening to him after the game he sounds clueless in improving the team going forward.He's managed three games after taking over a team mid campaign that lost 4-0 to Kazakhstan. A win V Cyprus and then defeats to the world no 1 and a narrow loss to a Russia side who did well at the World Cup last year.There's not really much I think he could really sincerely say unless he wants to walk into the delusions of rambling on about 'building a system' that we've had for years.People are going OTT analysing every small decision he's making like there's a perfect solution when these problems have been here for years and he's just in the door. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Listening to him after the game he sounds clueless in improving the team going forward.Out of the Scottish managers that we could have got he was by far the best option. Unfortunately It's that obsession - they must be Scottish - and you can blame Berti for this - that means we don't consider someone out with the Scottish game who could look at more fundamental restructuring and development of our game.It's also the reality that we see the National manager as just that - and not someone who should be driving the root and branch reform of our game.Because our National Performance Director certainly isn't doing that job. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
