I'm gonna split from the consensus here and say that, if this is a late 1980s style 5-3-2, it could work really well. The full backs have freedom to get forward, both can hit a cross, and both the forwards are good in the air. What they don't turn into shots on goal they can knock down for McGinn and McGregor coming into the box. McTominay is an intelligent player and will learn, and with relatively traditional centre halves either side of him he could be effective in bringing the ball out and getting it to the full backs. I have the hope, cos this looks like a gerrintaethum formation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, two Motherwell defenders in our back five? Seriously? I really fear an embarrassment tonight. I hope it’s me that’s embarrassed, but I doubt it. I do not think there was much alternative to the Well pair being in the team unless PORTO 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those matches imo were clearly being used to get McTominay ready for tonight and the final, where he is earmarked to play that role. It would obviously take a couple of games before you look like Beckenbauer, and they will have been working on it in training too. I'm optimistic big McSauce will do fine tonight and we'll win without too much hassle. I have faith in Clarke. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like he's overlooking a couple of Bayern Munich defenders, is it? At least they'll know each other's games. We are where we are. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree, my only concern is I don't see too many leaders, especially in the middle of the park, who can set the tone for the team. That can be the difference between and aggressive and fairly passive performance, and Robertson just isn't that guy despite his best efforts. Also the crowd would help enormously with that on a night like tonight, but obviously they're missing too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
