I turned 24 during the first one in my lifetime that we missed. We've only made one since. I've never watched us in any with my son and he'll be 20 by the next time that's possible. It's grim. You never will without some spectacular turnaround Few Somalians coming through maybe 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ukraine were miles better than us tonight and a well deserved win. Outclassed. Out thought. Out played. Out. Genuinely hope them and their fans have a good night. Hope they go on and pump Wales. Now. Rant time. We lost tonight because of one man. Steve Clarke. I can handle players performing below standard or outright shite. But we set up in a system with tactics that were never going to work, because theyve been proven not to work. We didnt play badly because of individual errors. We played badly because we trained and planned for a system that has ALWAYS made us play badly. We won 6 games on the bounce playing this way. It clearly didn't work tonight. Ukraine's game plan was to make us press them then hit us over the top and it worked time and time again, and we done absolutely nothing about it. I love Steve Clarke but he didn't have any answers tonight. After 15 minutes it was obvious that Hickey was being rinsed and we were fucking hopeless in midfield. McTominay should have been in midfield after 20 mins and we should have went 4-5-1. f**k knows why we left it so long to change it. We could have lost that 8-1 tonight. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ukraine were miles better and fully deserved their win but the performance was abysmal from players and manager. A total failure. I didn't even really see 2 up front in the first half. I saw balls for Dykes to flick on in the hope that somehow it would find Adams. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He saved us on more than one occasion thanks to his pace tonight. His positioning wasn't always perfect, but that's a different dimension. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotty Tunbridge Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 Wow that was bad… so many similarities to the Czech game in the Euros where we all sort of realised the 5 at the back system completely falls apart without Tierney but everyone moved on and forgave Clarke but lo and behold it happens again, shock horror. The first goal was so so depressing with a simple route 1 ball and that took all the sting out of the game for that half with the second goal sucking the life out of the ground again. McGinn was dreadful and I know it’s usually hyperbole when people say it but Robertson was also awful. McTominay was a lost lamb in the back 3 looked slightly better in midfield but the damage is done by that point. Even Gilmour was well below par. Got to feel for Hickey he looked bad but had been hung out to dry in that position given all he wanted to do was come in to his left foot and struggled with the defensive side of things. Let SOD never be criticised again. Only McGregor and Gordon close to getting pass marks. Bale will have a field day against that mob however I’d rather see them through than the leek munchers. Not that it would have had any real impact on the result but how fucking bad was that ref? Got to feel he was feeling sorry for Ukraine and buying into the sympathy stuff will be interesting to see if Wales get the same treatment from the officiating team in Sunday’s game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wee-Bey Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 It's on Clarke for me. He simply had to change it earlier. Hindsight is great with regards to the team selection, but it was obvious it wasn't working. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not convinced by this. To be honest, we really didn't press them very successfully. Their first goal did come from a ball over the top, but it was allowed because pressing was absent. The other goals (and numerous other chances) came from us being cut open by decent passing. We were the side launching aimless balls towards players without a touch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williemillersmoustache Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 Absolute disgrace. Total shambles. Ludicrous lack of coordination. As if nobody had thought for even one second about the game tonight. Will be lucky to get out of Glasgow and home before the Armenia kick off. The game tonight, also terrible. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snobot Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 Baffling from Clark. The last few games we’ve been playing through teams and looking really tidy. So we rip it up and spend the first half chipping balls up to Dykes while bypassing the midfield. We let them walk up to the half way line unchallenged, yet whenever we had the ball Hickey was getting pressed into the corner flag. It was the worst aspects of Clark’s time with none of the good bits. Christie should have started to lead the press but instead we were completely passive. Unbelievably shite. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
