Tierney in for O'Donnell. Christie in for Jack. Griffiths in for McBurnie. Serbia are favourites but they wouldn't be playing us in the LEAGUE C finals if they weren't average themselves. Ye never know... A midfield of Christie, McGinn and McGregor would be hopeless defensively. I’d be swapping McGregor for Armstrong. McGregor put in another hopeless performance in a Scotland jersey tonight. it’s an unpopular opinion but I wouldn’t be against having Scott Brown back in there against Serbia. Brown playing behind McGinn and Armstrong would be decent IMO. Fingers crossed Griffiths gets some game time for Celtic and gets fit enough for a call up. I just can’t see where a goal is going to come from from any other striker currently available. ETA - Brown bossed 2 games against Lazio not so long ago where Malinkovic-Savic was in their midfield.

Zapp Brannigan Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 We've played better and still achieved bugger all. If we get through playing awful then so be it. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamamafegan Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 I’m happy with that. We were garbage but it does not matter - we’ve made it to our one big shot at glory. We may get pumped but at least we made it there. Had we lost tonight it would have been utterly miserable. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacky1990 Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 (edited) So Clarke expected a shite game? So he doesnt have confidence of his team to go out and control against the 93rd best team in the world? Losing confidence in him with every moment.

I'm one of those who doesn't understand the excitement of qualifying for something purely because you've qualified. Its the equivalent of being happy you shitfested your way to 5th so you can play in Europe, despite knowing all it will amount to is a couple of hammerings from teams from Estonia. -3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingjoey Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 I take back what I said about McTominay before the match, I thought he played well apart from missing the open third of the goal at the other end of the pitch. As shite as we were, winning changes the feeling after the match massively. One thing against us in the Serbia game will be that they will have their full 30% of capacity in the ground with no Scotland fans. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For most fans actually winning something isn’t within reach. You take the best milestones and wins that you can. It makes the actual tournament finals more interesting because you have someone to support there. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very much this. I have been at many Hampden games where we have played well and lost or drawn. Italy at home is the stand out. I don’t give us much chance to beat Serbia but it is a one off game. Playing away may help us. Another two games to see if we can up our performances. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Detournement Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 Cooper was good. Great penalties apart from McGinn and I had confidence in all five. Credit to Shankland who struggled badly but took a brilliant pen. Our attacking play was dire. Sticking with the 3-5-2 for the Serbia game is probably the best option but long term Clarke needs to add more. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You get three games, a decent holiday and a share of the atmos. Better than NOT being there. A decent holiday?

I get no joy out of watching an absolutely shite match than ends with a penalty shoot out win, tbh. I'm not one of those fannies who would "rather lose playing nice football than win with shite football", but neither am I someone who's going to watch a game that awful then pretend it was amazing because we won. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
