Harry Kinnear Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 Kris Boyd, there was a lot of positives to take from that game. Only one positive for me Kris, I won't have to watch it again. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty Tunbridge Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 A McLeish performance and a worse than McLeish result. People have said that Scotland need to pick a system and stick with it. Clarke had a system which we'd been winning with and he chose to tear it up tonight for no apparent reason, making us poorer in every area of the park. An insane decision leading to a completely unacceptable result.Oh there was an apparent reason, it was to shoe horn Tierney and Robertson into the starting 11, when there was no need to.Either play Tierney at Right back if you really feel they both need to play, or drop one of them. Like you say no need to rip up your whole formation and start again for them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m fed up of some nostalgic killie fans saying he’s not negative. We played against a shite Israel side and had 1 shot on target and that was from a penalty that was soft. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.A.F.C Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 Not surprised, we are awful. Northern Ireland doing it again with a new manager, they seem to have worse players than us on paper but maybe benefit from consistent systems and selection. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Messi Scott Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 Robertson and Mcgregor are remarkably bad for us. We need to get someone in there who gives these players a bollocking. Clarke just stands there completely clueless 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not daft, it's brutally honest. Popping the ball off back to where it come isn't "great hold up play". There was no attacking intent from him, just simple passes. He done one very well first half and the rest was poor, I'd genuinely expect a half decent junior striker to play as well as he did tonight. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArabFC Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 (edited) That was a disastrous experiment to shoehorn Tierney and Robertson into the same team. The result? Players all over the park out of position. Sadly the experiment may be here to stay! Whats bizarre is Clarke had us set up well before the big break - a 4231 with McGinn supporting the striker.

Marshmallo Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 (edited) Clarke is a complete fucking idiot. Team selection designed to try and stop Tierney packing it in. Four central midfielders standing on top of each other. That should have been the easiest game in what is a gift of a draw. I'm trying not to exaggerate but that was a truly pathetic performance.

Scotty Tunbridge Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 Get Burke right in the bin. Has no idea how to play a position just runs really fast. Just bring Paterson on up top if Dykes isn’t going to play the full game on Monday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KillieMogwai Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 Dykes did his job well and Christie took a beautiful penalty, but not one of the rest get pass marks. Zero creativity from what should be a talented bunch of players - McGregor - anonymous. Robertson - confused/disinterested. Forrest - awful. Burke - ? I don't know how he keeps getting a game? Jack didn't make on forward pass, which is fine if everyone else is looking to go forward at every opportunity and his role is the recycler, but we had 9 ball recyclers out there. But we looked frightened to take a chance. We looked scared to drive forward. Israel, on the other hand, looked full of energy, drive and creativity, if a bit ropey at times. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that was the reason for the formation change also. Didn't work out at all well. The 4231 has been going fine for us recently. Tonight was really awful. Clarke needs time, but he needs to bin that formation and selection. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bernardblack Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 Rofls at playing McTominay in the back three for his “distribution” Ball round the corner every single time to go out for a goal kick 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyX Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 Just came on to say that was abysmal - but I see everyone has already noticed that. Now can we stop saying that we're fine for midfielders. Dreadful, the lot of them. Just keep on playing 5-yard passes to the next guy and hope that he does something. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of our 'top' players have shown time and time again they don't give a shit. I think, I hope, tonights tactics are about making Israel second guess how we play in the 'important' match. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
