The Moonster Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 I can't say I thought McGinn and Armstrong off Adams was great, I certainly didn't see the positives in Armstrongs performance that others appear to. I also don't think Patterson was bad or rash in defence either, he gets caught up the park because he's an attacking wing back but he has excellent ability to recover his position. I thought we controlled the game and could've won by 3 or 4. Biggest thing for me is we feel like a team, everybody works for each other and we've got decent competition for places. It feels good watching us right now. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely our best team in a long time. The results are testimony to that. World class though? A bold claim for me, let's see how we perform on Monday against a top side. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The claim bears no scrutiny whatever. If we've several World Class players, that means there must currently be about a thousand of them worldwide right now. That would require quite a dilution of the term. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the snudge Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 (edited) World class I'm not too sure about. The most pleasing thing about this team is the ability to keep going. It's the most hardworking and dogged Scotland squad I've seen I'm my life. There will be a few teams hoping we're not seeded because a packed Hampden in a playoff could be a great leg up for our players.

Bairnardo Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 Andy Robertson is world class. KT probably is too. I dont think anyone else fits in the bracket. Billy Gilmour clearly has that level of potential. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sergie's no1 fan Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 Using the barometer if world class means getting a game for any team in the world at international or club level you are only looking at Andy Robertson being world class. KT is very close imo I think he is outstanding, he shows it time and time again. Gilmour could be but needs way more games at club level. McGinn, needs to kick on again. Will see how he does under Gerrard, not sure he gets into most big national teams or the elite clubs. Not to shit on the parade of this group of players as they have exceeded expectations in finishing 2nd in the group. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Fifer Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 I adore John McGinn. Therefore, he is world class. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd die for him, and I am a StMirren fan so I am going to be biased as hell. We owe a lot to Mrs McGinn . He is a huge player for us and Villa. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point. Given that bookings are so much easier to come by now, the original reason for suspensions (to disincentivise fouling) has been satisfied by stricter refereeing in games. Suspensions just seem overly draconian, compromise competition (and therefore spectacle) and disproportionately punish smaller nations. I'm loving @oaksoft's exuberance about this team and I'm not going to discourage that. Gilmour is excellent and I feel he was underused last night. The midfield three were great. Armstrong, sadly, looks a shadow of the player he was a few seasons ago. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you looked at each of the last 4 games in context, a draw wouldn't have been a disaster in any of them, but we won all of them and qualified with a game to spare. There was a fair bit of margin for error in this group, even after a couple of early draws, but we didn't need it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crùbag Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 I missed Nisbet coming on. Understand he didn't even touch the ball. We surely need to try Brown first? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkey Tennis Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 (edited) The strong team beat everyone this time, not just us, so that was helpful. We also failed to slip up against the minnows as so often happens. These facts allowed our 4 points against our rivals to be decisive.
