Fratelli Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 Gordon’s decision making in terms of when/when not to charge out has always been a weird point to his game. Was a massive issue in Europe when he played for Celtic - where half decent strikers would just leave him in no man’s land. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

accies1874 Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 Yeah I dunno about Doig. Feels like his progress completely stalled this season. If the LCB can't give us the line-breaking passing though, even just sending him forward as a legitimate crossing threat would make a big difference. Make the opposition account for him.I still like him but following up a good first season in professional football with a poorer second season is always going to draw concern. Ramsay's another who's seemingly deflated a lot of hype recently, although he's almost certainly gonna be playing backup in a top league next season which could do him some good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bale isn’t as good as he once was, fair enough. He’s still fucking light years ahead of any player we have going forward. I think last night showed that we clearly aren’t a better side than Ukraine. McGinn really showing last night that he should be playing Champions League football as well. Klopp & Pep getting the chequebooks out as we speak to start a bidding war. Good you agree that Bale is indeed a faded force, let's see what side he picks up now. Would be fairly shocked if it's a CL team, he's finished at the top level. And yeah clearly last night did show Ukraine are better, we underperformed and they played well. It's sport mate, how it goes sometimes. Last night doesn't at all affect what a terrific season McGinn had, or what a good player he is, but I expect he will be staying at Aston Villa. A key player at a club on the up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No-one is saying they're infallible. Just better than us They're capable of off days. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the same token so are we (capable of off days). No argument that Ukraine beat us handsomely last night, but it's galling how little we actually brought to the tie. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It happens, we had a good run, but still more likely to have off days than some countries. That's what makes teams better or worse than each other. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Satoshi Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 Not every victory is an amazing panacea and not every defeat is an apocalypse. I know less national games mean the above is often lost. We have a good chance of qualifying from the Euros, contrary to the BBC report this is hardly a shock defeat, Ukraine are no mugs and have had a 6 week training camp together. Disappointing result and performance, one to learn from and move on, not rip the whole book up. Talent wise this is still the best Scotland side this millennium (imo). 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The idea that there's something unique in the makeup of Scots that prevents us from delivering on the big stage is ridiculous tbh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScarf Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 Ukraine are 'no mugs' because they're better than us, as their ranking, results and tournament progression in the last 20 years show. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yip, if he stays in his goal, Yarmalenko has a Hell of a lot to do to score. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
