See this is where the specs come in, or the ability to read, I’ve not actually said he was good. But if you are going to criticise him do it for the right reasons - too slow and not in the position ( not close enough to the man he’s meant to be picking up)

Your loyalty is impressive.

Israel will be kicking themselves that they didn’t use us to rack up their goal difference there

Absolutely. Got to be a huge chance that goal difference becomes a significant factor in this group, Israel fucked that up at the end and we were bending over begging them to rattle us as well.

That’s harsh.
The players will try to play in the formation and using the tactics the manager dictates.  The formation and tactics were shit and trying to shoehorn two LBs into the same team is crazy.
Wont slaughter the guy for an og in the same way I won’t criticise Souttar getting sent off when he shouldn’t have been.
 
Souttar deserved to be sent off. The contact may be minimal but he still flailed a hand at the face of an opponent as he ran past him into the box, because he was in the wrong position and having the wrong way.

Tierney was at fault for the og. Quite badly. A left-footed player shouldn't be hideously slicing a relatively straightforward ball behind himself.

Said it before the Albania game so this isn't a knee-jerk reaction, but this is the worst set of Scotland players in history. Sure we've had worse individual line-ups for pointless friendlies etc, but as an actual pool of players to choose from it is just awful. Lacking in any quality and so unbalanced. Our only top class player doesn't even play in his own position.

No right-backs who are anywhere near the level required, no decent centre backs, pointless midfielders, and no strikers who are anywhere near the standard required. Even 10 years ago when we still weren't qualifying most of these guys wouldn't even be near the squad. It shows how bad we are now that people get excited about guys like McGinn.

Add to that the appointment of a manager who is clearly losing his faculties, and it is a toxic mix.
