Same old Scotlol.

Bunch of over hyped (by the media) plodders passing sideways or backwards for 90 mins. Totally uninspiring and totally bereft of ideas.

Nothing will change.

When have we ever been even hyped by anyone, let alone overhyped?

To be fair to Robertson he has talked himself about not playing well enough for Scotland. I don’t think it’s lack of effort or interest from him, he just doesn’t seem to have the same confidence with the Scotland team.

It’s not as though he isn’t used to playing in teams who aren’t great, Utd and Hull weren’t exactly setting the world alight.

And to be even more fair to him, I'd have a distinct lack of confidence if I knew that my marauding forward wasn't being protected by Van Dijk, but by McKenna.

Always good to come on here postmatch for a bit of perspective

Thought the formation showed signs it could work

Tierney didn't put a foot wrong and is probably our best centre back. McKenna did fine as well

Jack did the simple things well and I'd probably have him over McGregor in future. There's definitely no need to have both

Dykes linked the play very well and is a very good option to have.

Certainly seen far worse Scotland performances

There's definitely no need to have McGregor at all

He loses possession consistently

Shows what a nonsense the rankings are

However Israel are still total gash

Was just thinking that. I’d wager good money that Israel would leather all 3 of those teams with little trouble.

He's not that fucking player! It's really simple.

How many times do you see him try to skin boys for Liverpool?

He's good because he can defend, has a great cross on him and plays lovely one-touch football with players that move.

He never has been an Alphonso Davies type.

I think we all worked out he’s not an Alphonso Davies type mate, but that’s some player to compare him against - he’s never going to compare favourably to that boy.

I mean he's not that type AT ALL. He rarely attempts to skin a player.

He looks for the pass and makes a run.

Some...questionable comments there from Clarke.  

"Maybe not enough going forward"
"Reasonably pleased"
"I wanted to see Kieran Tierney and Andy Robertson playing"
"Chance for Stuart Armstrong"

Either he genuinely believes it, or he's trying to put on some kind of front to save criticising either the players or himself.  f**k that.  I'd much rather he came out angry at someone, anyone, rather than insipid pish like that that EVERYONE can see through.

Your use of "they" rather than "we" tells its own story.

Are those options good enough to win the Euros? Obvisouly not. Should they be good enough to win at home to Israel? Absolutely.

They're evidently not good enough when fielded behind a striker who can't threaten the goal at home to Israel but 'still had a guid game cos he won all his heiders' though. That attacking plan is laughable and playing a non-scoring carthorse is not the solution.

It’s really simple, he’s not that fucking player because he doesn’t try to be
