Thought That was putin in a Scotland shirt there

It shows you where our levels are if have expectations of striker from league 1 in England

For many years we criticised England understandably for it. We see Ireland north and south as diddies we should be beating . The debate about are we better than wales and the thoughts that we would confidently come through the play offs. I think we have some good players but we are badly coached side who still work on the basis on trying to shoehorn names into the side and unable to adjust the team in regards the opposition.

That commentary is meant to be neutral

It’s not Matt Elliott but does sound like him it’s Gary Breen

Billy gilmour brushed off the ball easily for the goal as well

It’s his Jack of all trades master of none role

Mctominay excelleing in his all the place type role as usual

Just a bit we are making them competent the “calming” presence of scott mctominay

Stephen Kenny not singing the anthem

Brilliantly is maybe stretching it , he had a very good game against was it against Liverpool in an fa cup tie . he is still doesn’t offer enough to us as a progressive side , i get his worth in a backs to the wall type set up that we went with in the euros . we looked more progressive against poor opposition the other night . until we move away from fitting “names” in irrespective of the opposition or tactics we will only make limited progress .

We look more mobile in the side and more movement going forwards without gilmour and mctominay in the side . the other night showed this

Did they forget they were getting married

It’s an important game as will give an opportunity to measure where we are. we seek them as diddies we should be beating but they probably see us in that light as well. probably 1-1 at a guess

Mctominay on for his headless chicken act , not sure what new stuff he will show us

Do we thought this is the heart of our problems accomodating of names that don’t find any formation

ROI who are absolute mince would be a good benchmark of our current level . Ukraine 23/10 tonight suggests the bookies were giving money away tonight

We are not better than wales though as they managed much better than us and everyone player knows his role unlike ourselves

It is however we still work on the names concept of picking the side , look we have five starting players in the premier league etc . Yes wales have a couple of big names and biggish names etc , but everyone knew what they were doing unlike ourselves with our 11s

Maybe time to be controversial but perhaps we need to start to thinking of playing the best 11 players in their own positions , irrespective of who they play for and stop the show horning of players into the side.

That’s the big difference though we shoehorn the likes of mctominay into the side just because he is on the books on man united , even though he adds zero to the team and the team works round that. I did not know who some of the players for wales there were , but ii suspect that is their position and they are the best in that position whoever they play off , but we don’t work like that

Well done wales they may not have a huge amount of quality , but everyone seems to know their role they have to play, unlike ourselves where we still shoehorn players in despite not having a clue what they are meant to be doing.

Ben Davies is also a different level to what we have at centre back

Defensively they are also much better than us

Stand corrected England games category b but I think they were going to abolish category b .
