Chimter-boys Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 With our Nations League campaign on the horizon, what do people think our starting line up should be?? After getting a look at some of the fringe players in the Costa Rica, Hungary, Peru and Mexico games, I think the team will be smth like this: --Gordon-- Tierney--Hendry--Mulgrew--Robertson McTominay--Armstrong (or McGinn, depends on Stu's form for Southampton) Forrest--McGregor--Phillips Griffiths (or McBurnie depending on Griffiths match fitness) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peppino Impastato Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Probably pretty much spot on what McLeish will pick imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chimter-boys Posted July 24, 2018 Author Share Posted July 24, 2018 Tierney at RB is better than any other RB we have at RB.Agree, still holding out for Ralston until some other c**t comes through. Paterson just isn't good enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Ferguson's Hat Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 If Tierney plays RB whilst facing the wrong way then it's kinda like he's playing at LB. Or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woof! Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Gordon Forrest Hendry McKenna Tierney Robertson McTominay McGregor Armstrong Griffiths Phillips Not necessary the team I’d pick. Fraser or Paterson could be RWB with Forrest replacing Phillips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McLeish and Tierney I think he's better off doing it that way. To me, Tierney's going to play the majority of games as the left centre back in a back three. Which is fine. It's the antiquated selections elsewhere that depress me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Londonwell Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 You said you expected Mcleish to pick a team with Tierney at right back. Mcleish won’t pick a team with Tierney at right back unless he is absolutely forced to. Work it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BucksburnDandy Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 At the moment, what I'd do would differ from McLeish, so that's the first thing I will say on this, as I agree with @Enigma that Tierney is our best RB option if playing a back four. At the moment, I would pick: Gordon; Tierney, Hendry, McKenna, Robertson; Armstrong, McArthur/McTominay/McGinn (dependent on form at the start of the season); Forrest, McGregor, Fraser; Griffiths. If we were to change shape to a 3-5-1-1 then: Gordon; Hendry, McKenna, Tierney; Fraser, Armstrong, McArthur/McTominay, McGinn, Robertson; McGregor; Griffiths.
