Ukraine v Scotland (27/9/22)

I think we are going to shitfest a beautiful 0-0 and we going to do it. The difference between Ukraine's motivation levels from the game in June to last week looked huge, understandably. Making a world cup would have been massive for them given the circumstances. Winning UEFA Nations League Group B1? Not so much. I'm sure their players have much more important things on their mind than this game and this group as a whole, and that is to our advantage. 

We have no other matches scheduled after this. I believe our next game will be in the Euro 2024 qualifiers in the weekend starting the 23rd of March? Six months away. We will have the world cup on telly in the meantime but there's not even any warm up friendlies for us to be the stooge in. Clarke and the players and the fans could certainly be doing with going into that self imposed fallow period on a bit of a high, and winning this group is the way to do it. 

Stick 5 at the back, McTominay, McGregor, Armstrong and McGinn in midfield and Adams upfront on his own. Sit back deep and counter, see if Ukraine can be arsed breaking us down.

McTominay is suspended and Armstrong is supposedly down with a sickness bug.

Just send out a team of cloggers, clatter someone in the first minute, then have all our players whisper in their counterpart's ear that they too will be crocked for the World Cup if they try anything fancy. Job done for The Caledonia.

This might just work! If only Ukraine were in the World Cup?

As an aside - how come we've apparently had an extra match to play in this round? Is it because match-day was delayed due to the war?

Yes. The rescheduled Ukraine play-off took the date of the home Ukraine Nations League game, which meant the Nations League game shifted into this window.

Looking at the amount of EPL players who are out, I think we’ll do well to get the draw. 

I’m not sure Scotland can afford to lose Tierney, Robertson, McKenna, McTominay and Patterson from the defence and hope to do well.

However, I’ll be watching to see if we can do it. We still have good attacking options. It’s just in defence that we’re light.

Can see us reverting back to 352 for this with the limitations in defence.  Reckon he'll go with:

Gordon

Hendry  Gallagher  Kingsley

Hickey                                              Taylor

Gilmour  McGinn  McGregor

Adams  Christie

It'll be a toss up of Adams/Dykes and Christie/Fraser.
 
I'm wondering if we could shut up shop with all three of Jack, Gilmour and McGregor in deeper midfield, with McGinn just off Adams.
Three holding players seems OTT, but it might be the way to control the game with what resources we have.
That would leave Fraser and Christie as pacey subs if we need to chase things.

I'd just like to take this opportunity to say I thought Tom Kitchin was a wee dick long before he poisoned half our team

He looks like a dick and this fucking menu:

Not sure whether I"m more irritated by the faux jocko slang or writing prices as £24     &      50p.

Anyway, put a nappy on them and shitfest this to a draw please.
