I'm glad at least that Norway are playing Spain in the same window that we are, so hopefully that result will go the way you'd expect and we'll have qualification sealed up even if it's a depressing double loss for us. Whereas if Norway were only playing Cyprus in October then playing Spain and us in November, that would make it very, very queasy for us going into that set of games if we hadn't got anything in October.

itzdrk Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 1 hour ago, Sensible Soccer said: ^^^ This was the noticeable thing to me, a defensive high line, with no high press! It just allowed Philips and their back 4 to ping through balls when and wherever they liked. If you give good players time & space to prove that they're good players, that's exactly what they'll do. Tactical suicide imo, we clearly can't do that against Spain. Yeah this, not saying you change this and we win the game but combining a high line with no press is definitely asking for some trouble. I'm not really sure what the benefits are (there must be or he wouldn't be using it). Although it is possible there were supposed to be specific pressing traps and they just weren't occuring. Fully aware you can't just run daft chasing for 90 mins but there was too much hanging off, especially the centre backs. Hopefully whatever needs to be was learned last night and if so then long term it's a useful night for us. We'd certainly be reading more of that if it was France last night rather than England. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Finnerty Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 Remember when Kurt Zouma was caught on camera abusing his cat and when they brought it up on sky sports Graeme Souness said the sentence "for me the cat did nothing wrong". 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No_Problemo Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 I actually thought both Gilmour and McGregor were fine last night, two of our only players - possibly along with Hickey who were generally calm under a huge amount of pressure in that middle area. They weren’t helped whatsoever by Robertson, McGinn, McTominay and Tierney having poor games and giving the ball away sloppily regularly. Agree with others about the high line stuff - Clarke did say he wanted to try a couple of things though. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said last night in my WhatsApp chats that England always cruise through the qualifiers, it’s not really competition for them. At Hampden though when there is no real pressure on them and they want to get it right fucking up the home fans that are booing their national anthem etc etc then they’ll turn up and want to put on a performance. Which they did and when they do that they are undoubtedly a very good team. Like some on here, are you saying they are more than that?

eez-eh Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 I thought our entire midfield was completely bypassed to the extent that there’s barely any point singling out individuals for playing well/poorly. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was nothing more than a commemorative friendly. Yes, it wasn't the result or performance that we wanted but oh well. Yesterday you were suggesting it was a measure of Scotland as a nation and society - which is it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think the thing with Bellingham opposed to the three you've mentioned is he isn't a striker. He is grabbing games by the scruff of the neck in midfield and making it his own. Kane is going to reap the benefit of having someone like Bellingham in behind (oo er). The lad loves niggling at players as well, which we've previously been really good at, just wasn't on show last night. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GSTK wasn’t booed loudly enough. A song about an unelected head of state, thief, adulterer, murderer (could go on all day here) should absolutely be booed f*ck out of.

ICTChris Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 It's probably been said already but Bellingham looks absolutely brilliant. I haven't really watched him much but he looked superb. I guess it's not a surprise, Real Madrid don't sign a load of duffers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They all were match winners through different eras. Think they all broke scoring records for club and international teams at some stage whether age or overall records. I wish we had players of their calibre when we were trying to just qualify for tournaments. Bellingham is a very special talent. If you can’t see that then you’re a very blinkered individual. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
