Recommended Posts

So...to qualify for a tournament that is playing 4 games at Hampden we're probably going to have to go to Belgrade in the Nations League Final and win there.

Piece of piss.

And thank feck I'm working on Monday night.

Final ball has been appalling.

Does Robertson flatter to deceive? He looks great at Liverpool but is it because he happens to suit his manager's system and has good players around him to cover up for his defensive frailties? Too much pressure on him to carry the team? He just isn't playing consistently as well for Scotland as he does his club.

His options at Liverpool are Wijnaldum beside him, Mane moving around in front of him, and Firminio dropping into holes.

For Scotland he has McGregor ten yards behind him and McBurnie standing behind a defender on the edge of the box.

Been the case for our "big team" players for years now. 

Not sure anyone in the world would play consistently well for Scotland at this moment in time.

Is that how it works? Is it Football Manager?

All the manager does is shout a wee bit and we suddenly turn into a team who can drill passes about and press defences for 90 minutes.

And when we press and Golovkin beats three men with one turn, the manager just has to shout a "stop him", and out of nowhere our players will magically appear back goal side of him to win the ball, I suppose.

No but if the back 4 presses up it closes the whole pitch up. Golovkin is getting that space coz theres 30 fucking yards between our df n midfield
