If the players weren't doing what they'd been training on and working on because they were put under some pressure by Ireland and were struggling to settle at the start of the game then how is that accounted for? -1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if he meant it then it doesn't absolve the managerial failures at all. That is the point. But again you post as if Clarke had the training spot on , his selection spot on and his tactics spot on. Those pesky players just messed it up right? Agree to disagree. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 Andy Robertson spent the build up to these vital games getting steaming just days before the first encounter, I'm not sure he should be criticising anyone else. He's very good at talking the talk about how others should be putting more into the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was wrong about Steve Clarke's training, selection and tactics? I didn't realise you were a football tactics expert - I had just thought you were a fan saying things with hindsight. My mistake.

As it is he turned up to the camp later than others and hungover, showed zero motivational skills, then came to the press like a wee lapdog trying to say all the right things to show "passion" so fans don't turn on him. -2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As has been said many times there are plenty of leaders in that team. You're speaking as if you've been training as part of the group at Oriam. You didn't even watch the match to be fair either. He was being honest in my opinion when speaking to the media, not just trying to "say all the right things".

It's all about dispensing blame. Nobody knows what went wrong yesterday, perhaps not even the team. People are embarrassed, angry and just venting. -1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
