Gribz 743 Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 I wonder what magic plans Levein has in store tonight.....3-7-0 formation perhaps?! If Spain are up for it then it could be a bit of a hiding. But Scotland seem to perform better at home to the big teams. In the last few campaigns we've done ok at home to Holland (1-0), Germany (1-1), France (1-0) and we're cheated against Italy, but this Spanish side are miles better than any of those teams were at the time. I cant see anything other than an away win because I see us getting torn apart in midfield. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gribz 743 Posted October 12, 2010 Author Share Posted October 12, 2010 Just read the team news and there will likely be a lot of changes. Hutton (our best attacker) is a major doubt. Caldwell hasnt recovered from his first match in months - not bad news. Whittaker has a calf knock. Dorrans has a hamstring problem. Fletcher has a knock. Robson suspended. McCulloch returns which is a boost the way he has been playing. Pity Ferguson didnt come back for this game. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazza_8 233 Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 Fletcher is fit and Dorrans should be fit according to SSN. I think Levein will send out an attacking side, 4-5-1. The possesion percentage at FT will be interesting. Levein, please fuck off! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gribz 743 Posted October 12, 2010 Author Share Posted October 12, 2010 (edited) I cant think where to begin what his team will be. Not sure if we have 5 fit midfielders. Bardsley will come in for Hutton. not sure who will be LB if Whittaker doesnt play....Berra?? But I guess it could look something like this (although far too attacking for Levein). ____________________McGregor________________ Bardsley_______Weir__________McManus______Berra ___________________McCulloch________________ Naismith_____Fletcher________Morrison______Maloney/Dorrans _____________________Miller____________________ Edited October 12, 2010 by Gribz 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian1964 10,415 Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 It just shows how good Barry Ferguson is and has been for all of his career,he is still head & shoulders above any of our current midfielders,and yet we still hear how over rated he is especially from fans outwith the OF and from some Rangers fans.Without doubt he is the best homegrown midfielder of his era. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is better than anything else we could have at the moment but always seemed a better / more team player for Scotland and now Birmingham. I think that was one of his faults in his second spell with us that he was 'Mr Everything" and it ruined him a bit. Certainly the best in the last 5 - 7 years but the era in the 90s to early 00s produced a host of good midfielders we took for granted. Im thinking Collins, Lambert, Burley, McAllister, Ferguson, McCann...put anyone of them in that squad now and it would add a good bit of quality. Even Don Hutchinson is probably missed from the current squad. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete 2,499 Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 I think we will play three goalkeepers making up a 3-7-0-0:( 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
juffery 0 Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 I'm looking forward to, in twenty years, looking back at tonight as the night Scotland horsed the world and European champions at hampden :-)))) 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fraser54 0 Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 Was really looking forward to the game until the team news posted above. Seriously if Whittaker & Hutton aren't fit we are going to get gubbed. What Bardsley & McManus as full backs, something like that anyway. Fearing the worst now Hopefully we can get a point, hopefully. Who is all going ? north stand loyal for me tonight 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
