jamboman Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 To be announced on Tuesday Will be interesting to see who gets the nod. Cairney? Fletcher? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigfingers Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 Reports are clarkes trying to get Liam Cooper in. Wouldn't be against this. I would take Cairney as a squad player and I think Fletcher should be starting up top. Also imagine he will be having a word with Snoddy to come back.

I’m sure he must be a decent player but I don’t think I have ever seen him have a good game. He always seems to throw a clanger in which costs his team a goal.

He's the Leeds captain so could maybe do with those leadership qualities at the back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s why I assume he must be a decent player. I still haven’t seen much evidence of it though. Not that I watch a lot of Leeds matches right enough. I’ll reserve proper judgement until I see him play for Scotland if he’s selected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrniaboc Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 Really hoping to see Snoddy back in the squad. As I've said before, doesn't necessarily need to start, but great guy to have on the bench, in the lockeroom, and at the training camp.

ProudScot Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 I was keen for Cooper then watched the play off semi where he single handedly was the reason they didn’t make it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was just that match I wouldn’t be too concerned. Everyone has a bad game now and again. He does have a bit of a reputation of being a bombscare though.

hampden_loon2878 Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 I would like to see a few young players sprinkled through the squad even if there is no intention of playing them, give them a taste of things and encourage other youngsters to push on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t have a problem with young players being picked but they need to be ready to play. What if we get a lot of injuries in the Cyprus game and have to field a few rookies against Belgium? We’ll get torn a new arse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ceudmilefailte Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 (edited) Liam Coopers stats for the 4-2 defeat against Derby Aerials won- 10 - four more than next best on pitch. Breakdown, 11 defensive aerials and he won 10 of them. Interceptions-9- 6 more than next best on pitch Possession 8.2% - 0.3% more than next best on pitch Tackles-4- equal best on pitch Touches of ball -82 highest on pitch Shots on goal 2 fifth most on pitch (hit the woodwork) Mistakes- one major, Perhaps he would be more appealing if he went hiding like every other Scotland defender in the last 20 years.

So if you're Scottish and I was to say 'Och I the noo' is that racism? It’s to do with the fact that Asian people were considered inferior to westerners so mocking the way they speak is offensive. Its similar to why blackface is wrong but a black person wearing white makeup isn’t. This isn’t really the forum for this discussion though. Feel free to do some research if you want to find out more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s the catastrophic mistakes that get remembered and he’s prone to a few. Those stats look pretty good though. I won’t have a problem if he’s selected but I’m not sure if he’s the answer to our defensive problems. We are not exactly bursting at the seams with quality central defenders though so let’s see what he can do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
