It's just one small line of discussion. This isn't a committee of inquiry, it's only a message board, we can talk about a lot of things at once whether they're important or irrelevant. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordi1977 Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 There are ways to lose games.... And last night wasn't the way. I thought we'd likely get beaten. But thought we would go down fighting, giving them a right battle in midfield, getting a few balls into their box from set pieces, a couple of speculative shots, etc. It was the tepid nature of it that was just brutal to watch and we mostly just stood and watched some very good players stroke the ball around. 1st goal - too much space, no holding midfielder in the position where shot came from. More pressure was needed on the player before cross came in. Weak hand from keeper. 2nd goal - too much ball watching and players jumping to try and get touch on the ball. Hold position, deny space. Create an obstacle to get ball around instead of essentially moving out the way. 3rd goal - awful challenge. Definite penalty. But before that, Musiala running with ball in midfield skipping past players... foul him. Someone tug his jersey, take the booking, then everyone get into position and defend a set piece. And that was game gone. Really all of the 4 that started in midfield should have questions asked and a strong case to drop them all. Gilmour, McLean, Armstrong and Jack can all state a case they would not have done worse. Our "strongest" area was non existent last night. And I quite like Flower of Scotland! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should have been capable of doing a lot better than we did. It's silly to see our side as on a par with theirs though. I was fairly pessimistic about tonight even though I was looking forward to it. It turns out, however, that I wasn't nearly pessimistic enough. An absolutely pitiful display. Things have come to a pretty pass when M T isn't pessimistic enough... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saying that, it’s likely easier to write a more positive and catchier anthem than to create more international class players. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2426255 Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 1 hour ago, Doc Holiday said: Said it last night started the game like it was the 95th minute, one up top pointless when sitting so deep, just f**k it and set up with two strikers and give Germany something to think about, After 30 minutes, we switched to a 352 and it improved the effectiveness of our press, but didn't address the rest of our game in any meaningful way. We still struggled to hold it up, beat their press, defend our box and build attacks. It wasn't a tactical thing for me. It was a performance level thing, the players didn't play well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
