Ross. Posted June 16 Share Posted June 16 23 hours ago, itzdrk said: This McGinn for Christie would be something I'd consider as well as the above but just now I'd go for this. This is roughly what I was thinking, only a coin toss between Shankland as a target man or Conway who has a bit more mobility. Not massively keen on Hendry and Ralston on the right, Hendry was ridiculously slow at playing the ball out to Ralston on Friday and Ralston couldn’t handle getting the ball under the slightest bit of pressure, but I don’t see any better options available. McGregor and Gilmour have played well when beside each other most of the times they have done so, and getting McTominay and McGinn closer to the goal is absolutely needed in this one. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2426255 Posted June 16 Share Posted June 16 So long as Clarke puts Christie at RWB. McTominay as a false 9 and drops one of Tierney or Robertson in favour of James Forrest then we'll have a chance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

54_and_counting Posted June 16 Share Posted June 16 Wonder if clarke will see trippier playing the opposite side as fullback and think of trying tierney there and going back 4 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Father Ted Posted June 16 Share Posted June 16 Keep Gunn in McCrorie for Ralston Hanley for Porteous McĶenna for Hendry Tierney and Robertson. McGregor, Gilmour & McTominay McGinn out, been out of sorts for a few games, don't blame him for Germany game, just a culmination. Christie must play. Adams deserves another chance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McGinn is in form at club level. McGregor is out of form at club and international level. If you're out of form at SPFL level that should set alarm bells ringing. Christie is playing deeper for Bournemouth and has been a revelation 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McGinn has been dross in a Scotland shirt for some time now. McGregor has not been out of form for Scotland. Christie offers a high press and always gives a threat. That is my opinion and you are entitled to disagree. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theroadlesstravelled Posted June 17 Share Posted June 17 McKenna in for Porteous. McTominay in defence, behind the striker, false 9, the bench, anywhere but CDM. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirty dingus Posted June 17 Share Posted June 17 Gunn Tierney McKenna Hanley Robertson Gilmour McGinn McTominey Christie Forrest Adams Forrest given a free role, Gilmour to drop in and cover for Tierney or Robertson bombing on. I know Tierney is on the wrong side but I'd rather him there than Ralston or McCrorie. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part of me would be tempted to go 4-2-3-1 though. At last, very sensible suggestion. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I can't remember any Aberdeen fans greeting when he left and were happy to take cash for him. I appreciate he wasn't really a rb/wb for them but I think he has been playing there for Bristol more out necessity rather than have found his true position. Both him and Ralston are terrible options really to be having at this level. Folk seem to think that just chopping and changing will solve it but it won't. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably not the time to try this, but I do wonder why this was never tried (I don't remember it) a la Ireland when they had 4 decent fullbacks and played 2 in midfield 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he played the second half of of our friendly against Turkey in wide midfield. Wing back is not far off a midfield position, length ways anyway. Not sure it would suit him to play from the centre circle. Edited June 17 by 2426255 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JS_FFC Posted June 17 Share Posted June 17 Robertson hasn’t done the inverted thing for Liverpool. Alexander-Arnold normally does that and when he’s not on the field, Joe Gomez does it. Tierney did it for Arsenal with disastrous consequences. I don’t think you want one of them inverting into midfield when our central midfielders are the main strength of our team anyway. What I do think could be tried though is playing Robertson as a winger. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
