Kazakhstan have absolutely nailed 3-5-2 (at least in this match). Their backline has been compact and solid, their midfield have pretty much moved as a three man unit and they've suffocated us in midfield, their wingback have been tremendous supplementing the midfield and dropping back to help the backline and their strikers have been really good and mobile. People say that 3-5-2 is a system that Scotland can't do well with, yeah, well, Kazakhstan can, and I bet that none of them play that system at club level.

romanticscot Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 That sums up Burke. Manages to have space then just blooters it. The play offs are our best hope so bin McLeish, get in someone younger and more adapt stick with the same players apart from one of two and get them ready for November.

bigfingers Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 We don't have a squad to compete at this level. The only positive to take from this is we are missing Fraser, Christie, Robbo, Tierney, Griffiths, Fletcher and even Mulgrew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
in5omniac Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 That was one of the best quality dodgy streams I've watched. Shame the football didn't come close to matching it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Beem Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 If Mcleish had any self respect he would resign. But he doesnt and he wont. Likewise, if the SFA had any level of competency he would be sacked. But they dont and he wont. An appaling state of affairs. I said at the time of the McLeish appointment I would not be attending a Scotland match for the foreseeable, no danger I will be changing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madoneone Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 47 years of watching Scotland ,that is undoubtedly the fucking worst abject performance by players and management I've ever seen I'm away for a large drink Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burke isnt a good enough footballer. Athlete, yes, but lacks the game intelligence...... the reason why he never made it in Germany and struggled to impact the Championship.

ErsatzThistle Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 And to those who want Sounness (probably for club reasons), he'd have only picked the same team as McLeish and used the same tactics. They are similar managers. Sounness just shouts more and falls out with more people. He has also repeatedly said he won't be returning to football management because he can't stand modern players.

Guest ElChris04 Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Worst Scotland Result I’ve ever seen in my life . And since I’m 19 I’ve seen some pretty fucking bad ones. no heart. No passion. No tactics. No organisation. I hold all responsibility on the that fucking fossil McLeish and the SFA. He has ruined us. The best news now is he is giving the rightful sacking tonight and hope with every prayer we get someone in like Steve Clarke. #McLeishOUT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

romanticscot Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 I had a similar thought PapofGlencoe, don't think this Manager has made any impact other than signing the paperwork. This group of players is decent, although we need some leadership in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a manager will do. They have rich individuals who stumped up the money for Trappatoni's wages and they are also willing to hire a foreign coach. For reason we always have to appoint a Scot because of "oor great traditions". The same utterly stupid people who think Argentina and Brazil worship Scotland for developing football there.
