Its a case of who gets to start alongside him in midfield. Mctominay and christie would be my choices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAVIDB46 Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 (edited) I would love it if we could go back to the era where we actually picked players who were in form for starting as opposed to just because they are on the books of someone , they came on as sub a month ago etc. i know we unfortunately don’t. have the choice to be that choosy.

Mctominay and christie would be my choices. I’d play McGinn behind Dykes in the most advanced of the three central midfielders with McTominay and Jack behind him. Fraser on the left and Christie on the right. Armstrong would be unlucky not to start but would come off the bench. And I’m hoping it’s a flat back four with Robertson left back and Tierney right back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stats are crazy things but according to whoscored McTominay was by a mile the best Man U player. 95% pass rate 4 dribbles 3 tackles 2 interceptions 0 x dispossessed I assume you mean McTominay All that in 45 minutes.

SkyBlueScot Posted October 4, 2020 Author Share Posted October 4, 2020 McGinn didn't seem himself after football resumed after Lockdown but he's seems to be back of track. That said, lovely to see he can still play a pass to the opposition in his own half without thinking and defend so well with his arse. 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were sinking fast, desperate for points and so in went a half fit McGinn. Looks like he is very much back to his best now however. He's probably the most popular Scotland player since Faddy wore the jersey. Edited October 4, 2020 by ErsatzThistle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ElChris04 Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 John McGinn was unreal last night. What a fuckin pler man. And he’ll only get better now being in a much much stronger Villa team. He’s night and day the first name on the Scotland team sheet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to me Southampton's results pick up whenever Armstrong gets a run of starts for them. I think he's a pretty underrated player and would continue with him ahead of Forrest although Fraser being fit now will probably mean he gets in on the right ahead of both. All in all some good performances from the players this weekend. Let's hope for once they don't lose all football ability and motivation once they cross the border.

romanticscot Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 Even of the standard is lower, if you dominate and perform at a high standard with success, your pysche says you do it against people who are at a higher standard. Examine your own professional careers, you've probably said to yourself that your too good for where you work, you can go into and perform at a more rewarding company. Many players run on confidence so individual success is great, the managerial staff will say can he cut it for us and if so likely call them up.....providing there isn't a pandemic affecting the logistics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No disrespect intended to Russell. You can only be better than what your playing against though so having just turned 24 he might turn out ok. We talk about players moving to European teams being a great thing, maybe a year in the states were I would imagine training is more fitness and diet based than skills based might not be bad for a youngish player.

The MLS is about the same standard as the Scottish Premier. Just a general point. If you are a defender is Scotland for example you could get away with being average as most strikers are average but go and play against a top striker and their pace, touch, speed of thought and technique will be like a whirlwind that you didnt see coming.

syecosse Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 Scotland under 18s player Flynn Clarke scored in the EFL trophy(i know its not the best trophy)tonight, the Peterborough manager has been raving about him and likely to be getting a lot of game time this season at 17 years old.

mccaughey85 Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 Lewis Morgan should be in our future squads. Would be good if he moved back to Europe. We don't have alot of relatively young talented wingers who have flair and natural ability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not sure if Clarke mentioned Morgan and Russell when he announced the latest squad but he did in September. I’m sure he said both weren’t in the squad because of the difficulty in getting out and back into the US. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ceudmilefailte Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 Goal for Lewis Morgan, a penalty, Subbed around about the 75 minute mark like last week, not sure what that is about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
