Enigma Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 Don’t get Fleck in before Gilmour myself. Fleck won’t play so why not Gilmour in and about the squad and let the manger have a close up look at him. Squad starting to look more settled. Defence and that Centre Forward position is still terrible. Starting to look a bit thin on keepers too if truth be told. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotland: Arsenal requested Kieran Tierney omission, says Steve Clarke http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/50296744 Be a good team if Shankland has actually been picked for the squad, dropped for Naismith!!! Shankland is in the squad. His name is just tucked away in the bottom corner. I missed it at first too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forameus Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 19 minutes ago, Kuro said: Sure, that's why premiership teams are sniffing about him already. I don't know how many times I have to explain, fans don't know anything about the game. If you want to learn don't listen to fans and don't presume you know anything, analyse the decisions of those that do. Like the professionals that actually pick the squad and have him nowhere near it, aye? Cool. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mastermind Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 Arsenal not even giving a reason [emoji23][emoji23] Sounds like another non-Scot that can’t be bothered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He started in Russia and had a passable performance, and he's in the form of his life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fleck has been playing regularly and playing well in the Premier League while Gilmour is still just getting a taste of first team footballAs for the rest of the squad, Steven Naismith, really?

ScottishZizou Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 In that squad after Andy Robertson there's a very good argument that our next 8 best players are midfielders. I don't think that is even being unrealistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have Greece at home the day before the Cyprus game and there are a number of potential prospects for Scotland in that team - inc Gilmour obviously - and them doing well at U21 level will benefit us and them long term.

Harry Souttar's performances for Australia defensively have been ropey, against Asian minnows. There are no EPL clubs "sniffing about him" because he can't even get a game for a shite Stoke and they have loaned him out to Fleetwood. Dear God 29 minutes ago, Kuro said: Have they?

Gordopolis Posted November 5, 2019 Author Share Posted November 5, 2019 pros: Only one 30+ outfield player No Mulgrew Still stuck with the likes of Declan Gallagher. Fortunately we might still be able to cobble together a passable defence against these two 'weaker' opponents cons: only 5 players under 24 The 30+ outfield player is half-fit and well into his decline Two 30+ League One backup keepers when we have a 23 years old performing at a league above? No Tierney. This is getting silly now. If he plays regularly before and after the international games then Arsenal are clearly being w*nks No Billy Gilmour. Any harm at all in bringing him along for this one just as an extra number? It's clear he is destined to be of international standard (our level anyway) so why not get him prepped early? Most annoying thing about this squad announcement was how much of a fuckup BBC sport made of it. They reported that Tierney was absent without actually listing the squad. Amateurs. Anyway, my best team would be: Marshall Palmer Cooper McKenna Robertson McTominay McGinn Forrest Christie Fraser McBurnie* *Increasingly difficult to like, but still appears to be the best fwd we have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest DAVIDB69 Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 The tierney one is peculiar as he is clearly fit enough to be started league games for arsenal now.If he isn’t saying he wants to be in the squad I’m guessing he isn’t that fussed about playing for Scotland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
