Mark Connolly Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 I get the whole "big transfer fees, look at where he's playing" argument for McBurnie, but on the other side of that, what has he done in his 10 caps so far that warrant his inclusion tonight? I appreciate this will be seen as an "Arab would pick Shankland"-type post, but I saw nothing on Thursday that said he was a must pick for tonight, 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were overrun in midfield and we needed another player in there. I'd expect Slovakia to make more of that than Israel managed, so we should probably go back to one. McBurnie is the worst forward I've ever seen play for Scotland and I include Kevin Kyle and Chris Iwelumo in that, so I'd go with Dykes to run his legs off for 60 minutes, then replace him with Shankland. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McTominay struggled last month I will give you that but the game just past he was solid. It does help having a centre back like Gallagher who talks to his left and right than someone like McKenna who is silent as a lump of wood. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ropy Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 If McTominay is going to play at the back in Serbia then play home there tonight. Keep the back 3 the same and build up an understanding. Most of the midfielders are a similar standard so happy to rotate bodies in there. I would like to see Dykes play with Shankland or perhaps Fraser if we wanted someone coming from deeper/wider. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shankland has excellent build up play, reads the game very well, puts in a shift and is an excellent finisher, as for McBurnie, he's had lots of chances has produced next to nothing and looks completely disinterested. Take away his hugely inflated English price tag and I doubt if he'd be anywhere near an international squad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The big difference the other night was that the defence actually received some protection from the rest of the team. Like it or not, our full strength defence includes McKenna (not that I care about McKenna anymore). On his performances for Scotland I full agree Gallagher should be in there. Cooper likewise. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiegoDiego Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 Other than a couple of games when he was at City, all I've seen of Porteous is last week's Sportscene where he didn't exactly ignite the heather. Is his inclusion a Jack Hendrian dice roll at a passable centre back in times of need or do folk think he has a good shot at a twenty cap career? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
