Which is an opinion, rather than a fact. And continually saying you know the opinions of someone you have never met, is talking shite. That is a fact, not an opinion.

Zazu Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 (edited) I've never been Clarke out and still amn't, but watching Australia Peru just now makes me really wish he was a bit more adventurous and forward thinking. Peru are a decent side but Australia are throwing men forward every time they have the ball with both wingers pushing right up with the two strikers, Irvine making late runs into the box from deep and both fullbacks stepping up. There's no reason we can't do this a bit more against sides around our level. We have a much better squad than Ireland currently and about the same as Ukraine if you look at the level of the clubs that the starting XIs play for. But against both teams we played a very deep defence that dropped straight into a flat low block back 5 every time we lost the ball with two sitting midfielders. With everyone so deep our only build up play if Robertson can't get space on the left is to lump it to Adams or Dykes. Watching Australia just now they look a much better side than us, but a lot of their players wouldn't get near our starting XI just now and possibly not even the squad: Irvine, Mooy, Maclaren, Atkinson - even Boyle wasn't being considered when he was first hitting form for Hibs.

It sounds like you can see the truth, so why would you not want Clarke out? Hes not the guy to get us playing like that, never will be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2426255 Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 Scotland fans wanting Bielsa reminds me of when Celtic fans were getting excited that Jesse Marsch wanted the Celtic job before he politely distanced himself from that kind of rubbish.

Orbix Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 57 minutes ago, HuttonDressedAsLahm said: Comparing to other sides is one thing - Ampadu, for all his caps is a very average player. Is it not worth comparing Clarke to his predecessors? I have no idea why 24 is your starting point, as if that’s in any way old. What would Strachan, or Levein’s average ages be? Even with younger goalkeepers I’d be mightily surprised if they weren’t significantly older than the current team. The point, in case it isn’t really obvious, is that if you fired Clarke today or even in five years, the next manager would have a strong squad to use. That’s never been the case before. The oldest a ‘young’ player can be is 23 at the time of an u21 tournament. Felt it was a decent cut off for establishing where managers were bringing people through. Strachan’s are up there. Couldn’t be fucked going back to Levein. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And would be happy if we started winning and playing well and winning big crunch games against beatable teams. Throughout the thread I've praised Steve Clarke quite alot, he has many good qualities. I can back this up quite easily. I realise your on full tilt But that doesn't mean you can just make up your own bizarre narrative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And apart from that frankly ill do and say exactly as I please. Ill have an opinion on whatever I want and if you don't want to read or be involved in it thats absolutely fine I'd.

Have a read thru it. You will see many posts from me praising the work of Clarke. Go have a look for yourself. After the euros I got behind the team and got on with supporting Scotland. Clarke had a good run of results. The recent games are worse than the euros tho. This has all been discussed at great length. But we can rehash it if you really want. No personally I'm not a rangers fan. But rangers fans much the same as celtic fans have the right to an opinion on the national team also. Provided that is ok with you that is?
