I get the idea of trying Robertson at RB tbh as personally I think he plays within himself for Scotland a bit, mainly due to that the way we play doesn’t really compliment his game. Tierney for me is much better for us so shipping Robertson over to the other side was an idea worth trying. However trying it away in a qualifier against top opposition was too much of a risk and the main f**k up was not bringing an actual match fit right back. I appreciate covid etc played an issue as well but there should have been better contingency plans really. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this an anomaly or does he have a good eye/cross on him? Just saw this. Has a very good delivery from open play and set pieces. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe that's the new benchmark for a Scotland quality right back? Did i get that wrong? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ropy Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 Most shots, most crosses, most penetrating runs, kept the opposition star man away from the goals? Who was that then? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aufc Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 Most shots, most crosses, most penetrating runs, kept the opposition star man away from the goals? Who was that then?I mean, that’s not strictly true. Alaba had plenty of crosses in and was a threat but he is a good player so was always going to happen. SOD marshalled him well and offered a threat going forward albeit his final ball wasn’t great most times. Based off last night, he has control on the jersey but can do no harm having Paterson in the squad with him to learn the defending side off him. I still maintain that teams with a fast and tricky winger will mark him as a “weak” link and focus their attacks down that side 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mean Gene Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 He gave it his all but he is so limited, it’s painful watching him. I would rather the likes of Patterson, Hickey or even the boy from Aberdeen who looked really good for the under 21’s, get a chance to gain experience and get used to international football. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2426255 Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 Stephen O'Donnell is a hero - what a man, what a footballer. Never gives up, never stays down when he gets kicked. I'd buy him a beer if I met him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those players will be used at their current level. Against Moldova and Faroes when defending will be an after thought. Absolutely no way you watched the three matches and thought SOD wasn't no.1 RB on merit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a former Jag am delighted for him. Plus his display at Wembley of course. At the same time his final ball was mince and he was a bombscare at both Euro Hampden matches which cost us big time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrestersKTID Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 All that was missing for SOD was to finish off that breakaway chance. Just seemed to slow down to set himself. Another touch and I fancy he’d have scored. Alaba was chasing him down fast tho. he always gives his all, that was up there with his England performance. Alaba did get some crosses in but don’t think any full back would keep him quiet for 90mins. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
