Scary Bear Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 On a positive note, I do think Dykes has potential. McBurnie cost £20m so he must have some qualities. I just haven’t seen what they are. The team generally looks solid, just lacking ideas a bit. Going on the first half, we’re more likely to score from a corner or a free-kick than from open play. Just fucking win Scotland! Set up the game with Norway/Serbia then pray they are afflicted by a Coronavirus outbreak. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshmallo Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 Shout out to the coked up boy at the table next to me who is telling anyone who will listen that this formation isn't getting the most out of our best player, Niall McGinn. I agreed with him after the third time he shouted at me to try and quiet him down. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KillieMogwai Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 I think we'll smash them in the 2nd half. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordopolis Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 O'Donnell is slower than a week in jail and looks like he has to try really hard to control the ball. His style reminds me of Kirk Broadfoot.Aye the bit where he "turned" inside just before half time was hilarious. Like he was running round the edge of a set square. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You cannot complain that a team with two wing backs and two forwards is defensive. It's not going well but it's not because of a defensive system. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingjoey Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 We just give the ball away when we do actually get it up front, mainly because McBurnie can’t hold on to it or pass it to a Scotland player or, if he does pass to a Scotland player, it’s one who has an Israeli right up his arse and we lose it immediately. Dykes is the complete opposite but the players that he lays it off to, lose it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pandarilla Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 All physicality and no guile. Get fraser on.We also need to up the tempo and get in their faces. Far too pedestrian, and like others have mentioned, it's far too comfortable for them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Kebab Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 Sorry, I forgot he was keeping Trent Alexander McArnold out the team.Tbf he’s a shite defender as well but does offer a lot when going forward!!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacky1990 Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 3 minutes ago, GordonS said: He's doing a lot tonight. He's retaining possession under pressure, he's linking up with Robertson and he's covering in defence pretty well. He's our best midfielder just now (not saying much, but still). McGinn has had a couple of harum-scarum runs forward but he's also coughed up too much possession. He is meant to be our chief playmaker. Even your write up proves he isnt doing enough. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have been pish since kick off Nah we've been perfectly comfortable and started to grow into it in the latter part of the half. Couple of wee tweaks at half time we'll be fine, I'd make us heavy favourites after watching the first half. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose you watch dazzling Spain 2010 stuff most weeks? Are you also suggesting that I watch no footballing content other than stuff involving my own team? Also, I never said he was having a good or bad game. Sit down junior. Edited October 8, 2020 by DA Baracus 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DA Baracus Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 Considering we can potentially make up to 6 subs, I feel no changes at half time may not be the best move. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenockraver Posted October 8, 2020 Author Share Posted October 8, 2020 Biton and the other guy can hit them we need to close them down outside the box. I dont know if we can win with our rb being so inferior to elhamed 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
