Why was Malky wanting to bail out to Dundee United when glory awaits? There must be some hope with this u - 21s team to give the senior team some good players 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better gauge of attacking quality than simply looking at the amount of shots. It helps if we can get our shots on target 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have I been out of the loop more than usual lately, or was this game particularly badly advertised? Edit: just reading through. I take it the game went well?

BFTD Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 That's a few performances against Israel recently where we've been roughly on par. Anyone still determined we're much better and should be scudding them? Is it still the manager's fault? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkey Tennis Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 Here you go then. It's in response to me saying that giving the overall performance 6/10 was crazy: "The players did exactly what they were set up to do and you could literally hear them being instructed to do. Therein lies the problem. No point slaughtering the entire side when they played exactly as you’d expect in that set up which for starters totally nullified the qualities of the two best midfielders who started the match." I've honestly no idea why you're being so daft with this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sideways, sideways , back , punt is mind numbing stuff. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice to have it, but don't think that will help Scotland or AM as they try to improve their respective situations. P S. Massive respect for AM, and at least he has some relatively recent memories to enjoy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 1 hour ago, Binos said: Look at their players On paper we have better Yes, I know, that's the usual response. It doesn't take into account that most of us know hee-haw about the bulk of Israel's players. The next step is usually, "well, they'd be playing at the top European clubs if they were any good," which completely ignores where the bulk of our squad ply their trade. I'd imagine that over on Israel's Pie & Bovril, there won't be much fear of anything we have. Quite rightly, as it turns out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 Israel are ranked about 50 places below us in the rankings, were seeded below us, and consistently perform worse than us in qualifying. There is plenty of evidence that we are miles better than them, that's what makes the closeness of the three matches so frustrating. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is plenty of evidence that we are miles better than them, that's what makes the closeness of the three matches so frustrating. Aye, but here we are again. We're surely in witch's curse territory if we're notably better than the mediocre European sides like Israel. Maybe there's just not a lot between the sides 50th to 100th in the world. Plenty of sides in that grouping that we've struggled against, and a few that you wouldn't put any money on us to beat. Very few you'd feel comfortable about us beating. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
