Gonzo79 13,750 Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 That was a good wee break but the goalie, who reminds me of someone from Carlito's Way, made a decent save. I wouldn't bet on Scotland scoring. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rousseau 9,484 Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 I was intrigued by the formation, 5-4-1 (or 5-2-3), but we just played it the same as any other formation; dependent on merely getting the ball wide, with 'full-back' and winger combining to get a cross in. Do we really not know how to play any other way? Contrast that with Costa Rica, who played the exact same, building-up through the back, interchanges, one-twos throughout the team, and getting in-behind. Their goal was very well worked. Costa Rica have a smaller population than us and they have better tactical awareness and better technical players. I've always been a fan of Bryan Ruiz; elegant player. It's going to take a major cultural change to move on from this crap. Night and day with the Germany-Spain match. Germany were stuck in the past for a while there and made a conscious decision to change; they're now bearing the fruits of that with some delightful, dynamic, moving through the lines, play; the movement is just terrific. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
compo 6,214 Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 I endured the highlights and it was dire watching these lads attempting to play football then the camera panned to the home team dugout and you seen why it was the blind leading the blind ,yesterday's men back in a job give the job to someone with a whole new fresh outlook on the game after all what is there to lose . 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

boabie 230 Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 McLeish announces he will field a "more experienced" team for the next match. Have we learned absolutely nothing ? Not good enough to qualify for the last several competitions ---- but play the same guys again to fail at the next attempt. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Berliner 3,282 Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 I only hope that neither Murphy nor Cummings get injured. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo79 13,750 Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 If McLeish is going for a more experienced line up, I doubt Murphy or Cummings will play, which suits me. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
