Thistle_do_nicely Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 Mmmmmm.... not convinced by that from Willie Miller. I did think he got a little better second half tbf but a 7 would make him the 2nd best player on the park for Scotland, along with McCarthur and behind Robertson (which is probably correct at an 8, played very well) and doesn't sit well with me. Thought Bannan and Ritchie did okay but by and large, outwith Robertson, I'm struggling to give any of them anything higher than a 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Stubbs Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 Big unit of a laddy who can throw a ball quite far. Superb, should get a 9 at least for that. Away from his shot-put potential and back on to football, Paterson was gash. I actually rate him as a prospect but he's nowhere near there yet. Feel a bit sorry for the likes of him and Martin. It's not their fault that they're being played well above their level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burke did more v Malta than Forrest has in all his caps combined. Martin being so static is hilariously bad for entire team....except it's not funny....after 18 years maybe we should stop picking cloggers when we have have better available would be a shout As I said in my post, I'm not saying you are right or wrong, I'm saying that you arguments were based on utter bollocks. Burke did f**k all against Malta, whoa are absolutely fucking shite. All I've seen him to is run past his man and then run it straight out, lose possession or fail to find a pass/cross/shot. Fletcher has been equally static for Scotland in the last few years, generally contributing nothing and his touches consist of the ball bouncing wildly off of his foot. There is more to Martin's game than that but he was evidently told by Strachan to act as a target man, hold up the ball and try to bring Ritchie, Burke and Snodgrass into play. That is the work of a pathetic tactician, not a poor striker. What would your squad, or even first 11 be, pray tell? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, agree on that - do think that Paterson has it in him to progress, possibly while still at Hearts, possibly with a move to Celtic or a low-tier English Premiership side but certainly only if he gets the right coaching, and he *could* end up being first choice right back for the full national team, but Martin isn't going to ever be of use against anyone other than the diddiest of diddy sides, and even then there's still better options.

BFTD Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 The good news is that Slovakia were beaten tonight by a team who struggled from behind to draw with Lithuania. Clearly, the points are in the bag. (you can use that one for free, Gordon) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingTON Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 Slovakia are short of half a first team, but they've faced two of the three toughest games in the group. They'll be very pleased to realise that Scotland earned just four points outfit from an absolutely piss-easy, six point start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Pikey Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 Utter Bollocks. Down to the manager. Shite selection followed by a reluctance to admit shite selection followed by no bawz to do what was needed. GTF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rjc-1988 Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 We are in one of the easiest groups that we could possibly have hoped for - on top of that our other second place rivals keep cutting each others throats to our advantage. In typical Scottish fashion we yet again contrive to be the masters of our own downfall with an abysmal performance for about 70 minutes of that match. That was a match that we absolutely had to win but we start off with a reserved cautious approach which made it easy for Lithunia to settle into the match. If we had played with the same tempo as we did when we were chasing the match we would have won that game comfortably. Surely we have to pile on the pressure in these home games from the word go , get the crowd behind us and the goals will inevitably come. An overly cautious set up allied to poor tactics - not starting Leigh Griffiths was a big mistake when we see what he gave us in last few minutes.

Spot on We are still guilty, at least for the home games, of giving the opposition too much consideration. That reflected the formation, selection and overly cautious approach which played right into their hands It was a night for 3 at the back sitting there, and let guys like Anya, Snodgrass, Maloney etc go at them with Fletcher and Griffiths up front. On the front foot early, ball players, cut them open, not just reverting to high balls into the box which suited Lithuania We all know to qualify, even in second, you need to get as many points as possible. You need to go for it, especially at home. Unless we change the mindset and quickly, we've no chance qualifying. Even more of a shame when we've been in harder group's but have better players now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dudu Dahan pal Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 Willie Millers ratings...

He should've been put into a retirement home years ago yet he's still being allowed to appear on open all mics and commentates on games when he doesn't even know any other sides players out with Aberdeen. p***k.
