Just to go completely against the we shouldn't be shoehorning in players, id be tempted to play Robertson there in front of Tierney. Opposite for me, Id play Tierney ahead of Robertson oi we stay with this formation. Robertson needs space to run into whereas Tierney is better at carrying the ball. I genuinely think Robertson is lost without someone on front of him to create space. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbh, id just let the pair of them sort it out. One runs forward one covers. Both play both positions A relentless left sided destroying machine 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkey Tennis Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 We're a weird team currently. Plenty sides are capable of inconsistency, but we seem to take it to extremes. In the last year, we've delivered a couple of really complete performances. Between them though, we managed to produce some utterly pitiful stuff. That was hugely encouraging tonight, but I've still got little idea what to expect on Saturday. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big difference. “Functional arse”. I know he’s far from deid but this has to be on his tombstone.

Donathan Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 There’s no reason you can’t have both Tierney and Robertson in a back four formation. Robertson could play the role that Ryan Christie played tonight. -3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virtual Insanity Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 Can we please get a gif/clip of Dykes heading it on the halfway line, falling, spinning and heading it again before being fouled? Absolutely sensational stuff. Same starting 11 for Saturday please with Hickey in for Patterson. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only on the bus back now so I’ve only had the chance to get the twitter clips with Rory Hamilton’s commentary, but I can guarantee he’s infinitely better than both 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah if we had played like that in the first ukraine game and all that. But there's no point looking backwards its done now. It was a big step forward for us tonight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember noticing Ryan Christie putting on about a stone in muscle and becoming a much more effective player for it. Hickey seems to have done the same, albeit he was about 12 when I saw him playing regularly for Hearts. Hickey has the potential to be ridiculous. In a good way. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig fae the Vale Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 Just home, what a second half. Looked like a totally different team when we switched to the back four. Second half performance was as good as I've seen from us in a long time. No voice left, can't believe I have to go to work tomorrow. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McTominay might have dropped deep on occasion but he mainly played in the midfield throughout. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KirkieRR Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 Not sure what surprised me most: how poor Ukraine were (relative to last June), or how good we were, especially in the last half hour. Have McTominay or Christie, for starters, ever played better for Scotland? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's a clue: Mad Vlad is now flashing the nukes again. We were great tonight - best I've seen for some time - needs to continue. We'll see. It's always a good game v the Irish. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donathan Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 IMO part of Ukraine’s below par performance is related to the fact that the domestic league has now resumed and therefore the national team had the same amount of prep time as we did, whereas in June our players were knackered from the long season whilst there’s had been in training together for weeks. I would think in a series of neutral venue games with everyone fit and equal prep time, Scotland and Ukraine are roughly evenly matched teams. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
