SpoonTon Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 I hate the back 5. So many negatives with it. It's like being a man down in most areas of the pitch. Both tonight and against Austria we've given away loads of space just outside the box. It's so negative, it's giving us no chance, and it needs to go right now. Christie on for Hendry at half time, please. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacky1990 Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 f**k sake. Nothing more than Israel deserve. 8 at the back and their centre mid has loads of time 25-30 yards from goal. Clarke needs to change this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel Simao Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 Same old shite. Our defensive positioning has been abysmal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludo*1 Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 That's two goals in two games that Marshall hasn't covered himself in glory with. It's also twice in two games that the midfield has just vanished and allowed the opposition to have a free shot at goal from 25 yards. That goal was a long time coming. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fratelli Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 (edited) I understand it's what Clarke gives you but why the f**k are we set up like we're playing against France or Germany here? we're just letting them knock it about and have barely made it out our own half. We have a few players who can actually play football. We're playing against Israel. We've went out with an inferiority complex here are playing like we're complete underdogs. Utter shite.

peasy23 Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 Can somebody point out to the Scotland team, and especially the midfield, that this isn't a training game and bursting your arse to close the opposition down is the norm. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainbowrising Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 Thoroughly deserved lead. Should be losing by a couple. They run through our midfield. Hendry looking at a red. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Cabbage Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 Totally honking, we pressed high the first 20 minutes and looked okay and then for some reason stopped. Since then Israel have battered us and are deservedly ahead. Think our chances of qualifying are pretty much humped if we lose here, things are looking pretty bleak in terms of the World Cup, really shows how much we shot ourselves in the foot with the 2 games in November. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G51 Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 2 things: 1) The shine has fairly come off Clarke since the Euros qualification. The Israel backline cannot cope with a press, and yet we've dropped McGinn back one to make pressing them even harder. We're now no longer even trying to press. A really baffling tactical decision. The tweaks to the system have not worked at all. 2) Marshall has hit the aging curve. The best change Scotland could make is asking Allan McGregor to do us a solid for the summer. The second best change is simply benching him for one of the other keepers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midfield far more at fault for that goal rather than Marshall. Midfield sitting too deep and not picking their players up 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highloon Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 28 minutes ago, Jamie_Beatson said: Hendry did this thing midweek where he kept dropping way deeper than the rest of the defence as if he wasn’t remotely in tune with the rest of the team. At that long ball that Marshall had to come for he’s at least five yards behind everyone else - possibly more. Don’t know if he’s being asked to drop deeper like that or if it’s just a lack of understanding between the defence. SOD position also way too deep. No engagement on that side. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honest_Man#1 Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 I’ve always been against doing it, but I genuinely would be begging shagger to come back for the Euros. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
