if you say so, but that would be utter shite

I am sure he was always going to rotate the team tonight anyway.

------------------- Marshall Palmer Cooper McKenna Robertson ------------- Fleck McLean Christie McTominay Armstrong ------------------ Dykes

Yeh he did well, am sure he will keep his place for Monday

I have a funny feeling he just wanted to experiment and thought the Israel game was the best time to do that. We'll revert back to a 4-2-3-1 for the next game I think, as the formation doesn't work with the players we have. ------------- Marshall Palmer McKenna Tierney Robertson --------McTominay Jack/Fleck Christie McGinn Armstrong -------------- Dykes

I think KT can just play as a CB, don't think the 3 works for us as it shoves Robertson out too wide and Forrest is pish.

Jack, Dykes, Tierney and Christie have been the positives for me.

I'm happy with this, I am also slightly looking forward to Dykes playing, I think he could do a turn putting himself about.

I reckon it will be: ----------------------- Marshall Palmer - Gallagher - Tierney - Robertson ---------McTominay - McGregor Forest ---- McGinn ----- Christie ----------------------- Burke Oh and welcome back to the board to the 352 Andy is a Midfielder Troll.

Yeh he could play midfield, but we have actual midfielders coming out of our ears.

All this talk of changing the entire team around to play Tierney at LCB of a 3 is madness. Either play him at LCB in a 2 or RB, the 451/433 is the way Clarke wants us to play. Most teams play with a single striker, so the other CB picks the striker and Tierney plays around that and brings the ball out when required, easy.

thought McGinn looked strong and quick tonight

Sounds right, but its definitely not as populous as London, Birmingham, Manchester etc. I reckon we have an older population and we are well known for being less healthy so it probably all balances out.

In theory as Scotland is more geographically spread we should have a lower infection rate than England

I am a contractor working on data projects, I am currently lucky to be in contract but there are plenty in my industry who are not because of Brexit and impending tax changes, and now this on top. Life changing stuff for a lot of people unfortunately.

Scotland isn't a real nation? Interesting...

Couple of good trips in there, I'm happy enough 😀

----------------------- Marshall Tierney -- Souttar -- McKenna -- Robertson ------------- McTominay -- McGregor Christie ------ McGinn ------- Armstrong ----------------------- Griffiths

Fleck is a good player but he won't be keeping McGregor out of the Scotland team, lets face it.

McGinn seems to be in a bad way:

I'm sure that troll said they were a she at one point but that might just be part of the trolling. Anyway, I agree with most people here, can see us winning our semi but losing out if its an away tie.

Mulgrew is finished. Steve Clarke plays with a back 4.

I'd stick with Gallagher, McKenna looks a shadow of himself at the moment so am sure Clarke will be monitoring him over the next couple of months to see if his level improves. Ideally Souttar is back and takes the second berth. I'd keep Palmer at right back and Robbo at Lb, Tierney is a good back up across the back four.

I think the main reason that Palmer has been picked ahead of O'Donnell is because he is better than him.

Overall we were ok, rode our luck a wee bit but some decent passages of play and a win. Onto Kazakhstan now with slightly more confidence.
