sergie's no1 fan Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 6 minutes ago, ScottishZizou said: Clarke’s inability to not play the exact same formation every game is staggering. We were so rigid and easy to play against. You don’t even have to move to mark our players. What a huge difference when we had players playing between the lines like Ukraine had with Yarmolenko. That is a fair criticism. Can't believe it took him so long to change it up when it was so glaringly obvious we were absolutely toothless in the first half. Ukraine closed off every angle into midfield, our wing backs were getting no no joy at all and the 2 strikers looked so isolated early on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyderspaceman Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 I gave up watching bits of the game on French telly. Strangely enough I'm not too upset. Quatar can go f**k itself. I have a friend in Germany who has offered accommodation for the Euros in '24. Not getting my hopes up... Yes, it's all about me! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthBank Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 Congratulations to Ukraine who were by far the better side. Men against boys. We were shit all over the park. Too much fear with too many pass backs and side passes. They always tried to play the ball forward and looked comfortable. If we had to lose to someone I am glad it was them. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuctifano Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 Formation should have been changed before half time, we were lucky to only be one down at that point and luck ran out early second half. If you swap the keepers round that game finishes about 7-0 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoo61 Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 Almost sacked it off after McGinns miss. Should have done. We are back though, it's warm, it's familiar. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fratelli Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 Rightly or wrongly Robertson's #bevvygate will stick for a while now. He's always had criticism from an element of our support for seemingly dropping his levels when he plays for Scotland, and this won't help at all. I actually recall him being consistently brilliant for us when he was at Hull. Probably a combination of him trying too hard to be a talisman and him facing more scrutiny has led to him being seen differently now. Some bafflingly poor bits of play from him in the second half. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoo61 Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 Robertson as a man and a player are a class act who we are lucky to have. End of. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ya Bezzer! Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 I say this just about every Scotland match but David Turnbull has fantastic delivery from wide areas, corners, set pieces. He's the best we have at putting a ball into the box. Never plays. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oceanlineayr Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 Woeful performance tonight. We looked better on the attack when Christie came on but it was too little too late after after a stinking 1st half. McGinn's sitter summed it up. Thought Zinchenko tore us to ribbons at times with his passing tonight, some player. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottishZizou Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 9 minutes ago, Binos said: Our formation allows players to play between the lines I guess every formation does in certain contexts/with the players you have available. But when you play it with two out and out strikers meaning you have your number 10 having to cover the full width of the pitch then it doesn’t allow you to play between their defence and midfield at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm expecting better from Hanley, Robertson, McGinn to start with. Hopefully that ends McMuffin in defence , looked much better in midfield. Would have been daylight robbery had we even taken that to extra time. A world cup spread out over the US, Canada and Mexico sounds much more appealing anyway. R U sure about Hickey , and McMuffin in midfield ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not comparing them, but Dalglish had the same "plays guidder for Liverpool" attacks in his time. Maybe he was playing with better players ?? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
