Scotland v Israel

Dykes is a big lad who is good in the air...so we give him utter, utter shite balls all game and virtually nothing to attack. What the f**k is the game plan? This is as bad as playing Estonia in Monaco with Duncan Ferguson up front.

Strikers are pretty much pointless with this set up.
Sitting so deep there's nobody near them when they counter, and then so little movement around them they just get marked out the game when we build play.
 
Robertson got a cross in and there wasn't a single midfielder within 5 yards of the box - Dykes had zero support all night.

It was always the worry when he got the job.

Our issue has always been beating nations similar or worse, so hiring a manager who excels defensively, and causing shocks against better clubs, wasn't the best idea.

Had to hire a Scotsman though...

He’s looking like a horrible appointment.

Desperate stuff. No harm to Dykes and Burke but if they are international strikers then there is little prospect of ever qualifying for a tournament again!

Dykes did well with what he had to play with the so called super midfield has been the big letdown tonight never been in the game Mcgregor Forrest & Jack non-existant...  Yet he takes off Dykes & McGinn must be saving them for Monday night no other reason... Clarkes formation won't do....

McLeish won his Nations League group - a draw here renders that pretty much impossible for Clarke.

The SFA will sack him tonight if they are consistent.


You would imagine a hiding in Prague would be to follow

I think this is why we don’t see the best of Robertson. At Liverpool he’ll put the ball in and there will be at least one person running onto it. He does it for Scotland and it’ll more than likely roll out of play.

There is something about the limit of our ambitions that is just absolutely grim.

Win groups...nah, qualify for Finals...nah, make Hampden a fortress...nah, get stuck in......nah, attack.....nah, show some pride.....nah, park the bus against the 93rd best team in the world....aye.
