Don't think he looked out of place in the Premiership last year, ask the Bournemouth fans. Not done it for Scotland, but who has recently.

 

Aye played well for Bournemouth last year in the EPL bit of a strange one him going to Newcastle I guess it was to much money for Bournemouth to turn down

Plenty of Scottish players on show at Pittodrie today.

Nice to see Wilson and Bates two young ish Scottish centre backs playing and keeping their second clean sheet in a row. 

Bates looks a wee bit raw but he seems to have something, based on what I've seen in the last 2 games. Hopefully he gets a run of games and we can see if he Develops.

I was at the game.

He started at RW, and was moved over to ST around 35 minutes.  Got subbed off around 68 or so.

He had a reasonable game.  Touch and accuracy of passing was very poor at times (much like the Canada game).  That said, so were many of the other players on the field, especially including the Leipzig number 9 (the team's hero) who came on for Burke with 22 minutes to go and was utterly woeful.

Burke doesn't look out of place in that team or that league, but clearly needs more game time to build up confidence and tactical awareness.  He missed a free header in the second half, played a team mate through who absolutely should have scored and had a hand in the first goal.  He looked far more of a threat at ST than he did on the wing.

Still looks a great prospect, but I think we should be very aware that he's 19 and a long way off the final product.

Burke starting for Leipzig today.

Aye but was he wearing joggy bottoms at any point? If so, get him to feck.

The fact that they kept a clean sheet shouldn't hide from the fact that Bates is brutal.

Yeah, he didn't look good yesterday at all. Got caught on the ball a few times and generally looked quite uncomfortable.

Sounds like James Forrest!

Well that's that then. 20 year old center back with two top flight appearances that have resulted in clean sheets is crap.

How can you say something like that?

 

In Humper we trust.

Probably because he doesn't play for Killie or something.

Conversely, Grant Hanley after his first couple of games was described by sir Alex as a terrific prospect.

Cos I've watched him at U20 level and he's sh1te at that too.

The fact that Keirnan, Wilson & Hill get a game ahead of him tells you all you need to know.
