I'm too pished to do maths

What do we still need to qualify? Serious answers only pls

Unless we get really lucky and two groups third place only have a point or two we'll probably need four points. Not happening

We struggled because we had zero threat on the right, so the Czechs could focus on blocking us off centrally.

Robertson causes problems but ultimately if you've nobody to head the ball in then he's useless. O'Donnell never once committed a defender.

It wasn't us being "shite" because we're Scottish, it was us struggling because they could strangle us centrally. The shape/players were all wrong. We either need two players wide instead of just one on each wing, or we needed the players on the wing to be attack and beat their men.

A cowardly selection in O'Donnell, a cowardly approach to the game, and a cowardly approach to tactical changes, has fucked the entire tournament for us now.

This. This isn’t a wha’s like us type result. It’s entirely on Clarke.

This is bullshit analysis, tbh.
We don't have good defenders and we don't have good attackers, and it's both easy and wrong to say the manager got something wrong.
It is easy to say when he leaves the better of the not good ones you're talking about sitting on their arses in favour of picking the worst of his options.

Is it just me or is McTominey the new Darren Fletcher, someone who is regarded as a great player but too rarely shows it in a navy blue jersey ?

McTominay isn’t close to the player Fletcher was, but that’s unfair on both.  John McGinn, however…

Bellingham is a regular starter for Dortmund. Billy Gilmour has like 3 games for Chelsea this season.

Clarkes an absolute shitehawk though. 

Gilmour has played 22 times for Chelsea, and has played in the Champions League.

Yep.

I like Clarke but this isn't a 'beaten by a better team' result, which are always disappointing but tend to happen at all levels of football quite regularly.

This is a game that we could, and should, have been going for but selection and tactics were all wrong.
