  1. Looks like a straight shootout between us and Austria for 2nd seed. Denmark overtook Slovenia to go to pot 2 but I don't think that massively changes the relative quality. Decider between Italy and Ukraine next week, would want to avoid a draw in that game which might put Italy in pot 4.
  2. Doak is some outball. Giving those defenders nightmares off the ball as well
  3. Would Sunday not be a better opportunity to test him out rather than relying on club form, which we know is a lower level than his competitors
  4. One thing to take away from that game is that we were undone by goals from an elite talent. Our 11 last night would have absolutely battered the Georgia sides of 2007 and 2015
  5. Easy to forget how young Patterson is, at 22 he's the age Andy Robertson was when he was bouncing between the Championship and Barclays with Hull. Was 23 before getting his big move and it was still another 6 months before he started getting a regular game. Not saying Patterson is as good but I'm not writing him off yet.
  6. All well and good but Dykes' hold up play last night was absolutely brutal. The ball just bounced off him The thing about Shankland is that he can do the hold up stuff as well. He's done well in Europe as a lone striker and even a number 10. I'd say all round he's better than Dykes at this point, not just because he scored
  7. Has it been explained why McKenna was preferred to Hendry? Injury?
  8. Called it apart from Hendry in for McKenna. Good attacking side
  9. Gilmour is a must start in an away game we need to keep the ball in imo
  10. Clark Patterson Porteous Hendry Taylor Gilmour Mcgregor Christie McTominay McGinn Dykes
  11. Porteous back in the side for a good performance for Watford after losing his place which is good to see Watford are starting to put a decent run of form together, be good to see them do well and either see porteous in the shop window for a big move or get promoted themselves. Long way to go obviously
  12. Hard to impress when you're a bit part player. He really needs a run of games, loan spell might be a good option. I think he'd run amok in the championship. There is the argument that he's learning from the best but I think games are more important than training with the big guns at this stage.
  13. Spain will most likely be in pot 1 Much of a muchness for sure between 2 and 3 even account for predicted future results
  14. All fair points I do think he will have a good career though and would like to see him given a chance
  15. Heavily touted for a move in the summer, to the point where fees were agreed I believe
  16. Just to add that I've watched Ferguson numerous times this season and he does tend to play as a kind of AML at Bologna and his exact role is to be the link man, hold the ball up and get others into play on that side in particular as well as get in and around the box as a support man. I've always said Christie is one of our most important players off the ball, that might genuinely be the spot that Ferguson wants to target rather than McTominay/McGinn who have shown themselves to be undroppable really
  17. Be good to see Doig get some minutes in competitive fixtures, seems to be playing regularly for Verona this season and due a big move.
  18. I thought Dundee fans said French was a player. He looks totally lost any time he's played
  19. Definitely think he's similar to Gross and this is probably the biggest factor. Their latest young gem that they'll probably sell to Chelsea for £200m is a 19 year old Cameroonian Baleba who fits the profile of Caicedo more, certainly has more about him off the ball. In games where you have lots of the ball you're more likely to see Gilmour and Gross. For games where you need more physicality and off the ball running, it will tend to be Baleba and one other. At the moment the experienced Gross tends to get the nod in those tougher games, but hopefully we see a transition from Gross to Gilmour over the next season or 2
