Yeah I think it’s time for that change. Although Robertson does play far better as a left back than a wing back.
tierney is more aggressive from full back than robertson.
let’s just have a go at the faroes.

For once I’d love Scotland just to have a go at teams and put out a positive attacking team. I’m sick of watching us being negative against poor opposition. It’s happened for too many years. Why are we so scared to have a go?!
-
We don’t even look like we want to win. As soon as we scored we took our foot off the gas. We actually started the 2nd half very well but seemed happy for it to be a draw.
where is the ambition!
is still don’t know what our game plan is counter attack, possession game, defensive??? We need an identity and game plan moving forward, let’s start introducing some young players in to the squad for the bench fillers and start to look to the future.
be progressive!! -
Dreadful stuff. No composure, no effort and no heart!!
Right Steve please be bold and make some big changes at half time change the system and players. Don’t wait until 70 mins when it’s almost over
-
This has been painful so far. We offer absolutely nothing down the right going forward

This Scotland team is such a difficult one to pick as there are quite a few good option but the balance is not quite right.
our 532 or 352 is a little defensive as our wingbacks are not offensive enough. Robbo is much better as full back where the game is front of him and he can run on to it.
O’Donnell has done ok tbh but does offer anything attacking wise. I would like to see us try Fraser there again or switch to a 4321 and play similar set up to Rangers.
our best players are all midfielders or number 10’s. This would let us control the game a bit more with an extra midfielder whilst still having a goal threat from the 10’s
I’d go
Marshall
O’Donnell Hendry McKenna Robertson
McTominay McGregor McGinn
Christie Armstrong
Dykes
if playing 532Marshall
Gallagher Hendry Tierney
fraser Mcgregor. Robertson
McTominay. McginnChristie
Dykes

He actually plays quite well even if he is fairly limited. Tbh he probably plays better than robbo as a wing back. Robbo is much mure suited to full back where he can run on to the ball.
i would be tempted to throw in Fraser at RWB to inject more pace and attacking threat at we are too defensive.
-
Ryan Duncan Aberdeen apparent well thought of and only 16 I think.
i would still throw Jason Kerr in to mix I think he’s 23 but for me, way better than Ryan Porteous.
Robbie Ure the striker at Rangers
Dire Mebude winger for Man City
Josh Adam midfielder at Man City
-
Just wondering what potential youth stars people expect to see emerging in next few years.
any players at your clubs you think will be a star.
for me:mikey Johnston
billy Gilmour
stephen Kelly
Lewis Ferguson
Fraser Hornby
Aaron Hickey
ryan Porteous
Jason kerr
David Turnbull

If a defender or any player can't make a 5 yard pass from defence into Midfield they shouldn't be playing football. I'm not sure what you are wanting here? You want us to play through Midfield but want our centre halves to spread the passes? Just ask the centre halves to give the ball to the Midfield you don't have to be Beckenbauer to do that! And we certainly don't have a Beckenbauer to call on so let the defence do what they are good at. We literally don't have anyone in defence capable of playing the way you see Man City play on the telly. Apart from maybe Tierney... But you don't want him in there either even though he was excellent there against Holland in a friendly. If he has Gallagher or McKenna beside him they can deal with most things in the air and let Tierney sweep up behind them. Tierney reads the play brilliantly, a great tackler, can bring the ball out from the back and has pace... A defence with pace allows our team to push higher up the pitch which allows our best players to press the play like they prefer to do at their clubs
What I would like is for our midfield not to have to drop in to defence to play the simple 5 yard pass because you can see that they don’t trust our defenders. It’s like playing with 10 men!
I agree some of the players we have picked in recent years Hanley and mcKenna struggle making a 5 yard pass. The point is their team mates no that and automatically drop deeper because the are worried about their next pass. This then leads to the midfield being deeper and then no support to the striker. If we can play a ball playing centre back or at least someone who is comfortable then it allows us to dictate the play in midfield where our best players are.
i never mentioned Man City. I just want someone who has a little composure and that doesn’t frighten the life in to the other players and the fans when they receive the ball.
We actually have good footballers but it’s no good if we can’t give them the ball in the right areas.
Tierney is a super player but the boy’s a left back, at a push he can do a job in 3 but I wouldn’t shoe horn him atm.

We just need Defenders that can defend first and foremost and Mulgrew has been the worst culprit of not doing the basics right over the last year or so. Gallagher has near enough played himself into the team for the play offs just by looking better and more composed than a very shaky McKenna, although he did improve last night. I would personally go with Tierney and one of McKenna and Gallagher at the Centre half.
Marshall
Palmer Gallagher Tierney Robertson
McTominay McGregor
Christie McGinn Forrest
Naismith
Nah totally disagree tbh. We have got good footballers in midfield what’s the point if we can’t find them with a pass. I hate watching us be negative!
if we play long ball, who’s gonna hold it up, none of our strikers have any stature.
plus Tierney in a back 4 is a no go, who’s winning headers? -

Mulgrew is finished. Steve Clarke plays with a back 4.
Agreed he’s not brilliant but we need someone comfortable on the ball for me.
it adds to us being more positive going forward we need start playing on the front foot. -
Or
Marshall
Souttar mulgrew. Tierney
Fraser Jack. Robertson.
Mcginn. Mcgregor
Christie
Griffiths.
-
I’d go
Marshall
Palmer Souttar. Mulgrew. Robertson.
Jack
Mcginn. McTomminay.
christie. Fraser.
Griffiths.

Problem we have at centre half is our centre backs are not that comfortable on the ball, this means everyone drops too deep. Jack and McGregor last night had to take the ball off McKenna. This then leads to too many people behind the ball meaning we don’t have enough options in front of the play.
we really need centre backs with more composure.
We are pretty much out.... ditch the back 3

It’s got to be back 4. Robertson can’t play wing bk as he’s better at coming on to the ball from deep and O’Donnell is too defensive. Both much better in a 4.
some changes needed after that performance.
