Wonder if there's a way of organising some kind of P&B open all mics. Shouldn't be that difficult

This is actually driving me demented. Stop talking about var you absolute fucking bores

Henry was excellent for most of the game

Exactly. Our 'reality checks' have all come against pot 1 teams but there's only one of those in our group

If Shankland scores that I think he cements his place in the starting 11 really

It's frustrating because the narrative is that he can score goals but he can't lead the line. Thought he did the latter well but then blew his big chance. Did better than expected in one regard but didn't do what he does best. So it still leaves a question mark over whether he's our best option.

If you can't see Billy Gilmour was outstanding last night then there's no hope for you, pick another sport

Pinged a few passes about in the first half, should have had an assist from a good cross. Gave Ake a lot to think about with runs down the line and held the ball up well

Take it back, if Tierney gets injured we should just forfeit all games

Yes

We're great when we have our best players playing but there's a huge drop off in intensity towards the end. Probably needs to adapt our tactics when we've got the ringers on and our best players are blowing

True

Patterson is really ropey. Wouldn't mind seeing Ralston in the second half. Not as good in the build up but at least won't give the ball away so much and is a better defender

They're scanting to get McTominay sent off as well. It's a fucking friendly Cheating orange wanks

Is a booking for diving not a thing any more? Joke that

He's dropped the Depay. His da deserted him when he was a youngster so he doesn't use the name at all any more

Buzzing for this now, hope Shankland tears it up

Christie will play imo

No surprise to see McTominay thrive with a competent sitting midfielder beside him. Mainoo reminds me of a better version of Gilmour at that age. I hope that they play together for the rest of the season, definitely gives McTominay more freedom to do his own thing

Souttar has been in great form recently and if he is fit it's a great option to have, particularly as a ball-playing replacement for Tierney should the worst happen. I think our back 3 is pretty settled though, can't see anyone forcing their way into the starting line up

Surely not. I just assumed it was the same formation as Monday. Is there at least some fluidity to player positions?

None of those players will ever play for the clubs listed beside them

Thought we were quite fluid with how we set up on Monday night. We can be a bit asymmetrical with French staying back allowing Strapp to roam at the top end of the park. Would be happy to see that again although maybe with McGrattan in for Gillespie to go with more of a box midfield rather than the kind of diamond -ish shape we went for

Christie started v Norway away, Spain home and away, Georgia away. Can only assume he'd have started v Norway at home if there hadn't been that element of rotation that night. Any time we are expected to be without the ball for a time he is a huge influence on how we play due to his pressing ability

I don't even think Ferguson himself would agree he's a better player than Callum McGregor
