Third Lanark Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Who is our most natural defensive midfielder in the squad? As Dark Knight says, McTom is more of a box-to-box type. Ryan Jack could do the role but is more effective attacking. Fleck is just another left footer and we have a surfeit of those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be interested to know what he has said about missing players. Griffiths is fit enough.for the scotland bench but not the Scotland bench, why? Has fletcher definitely retired? Tierney has played for arsenal, why is he fit enough to play for arsenal but not scotland, I'd have Tierney at RB for these matches. I'm worried that Clarke has called up devlin, it tells me he hasn't watched devlin recently because devlin has been dog piss lately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kumnio Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Griffiths isn't fit enough for either of Scotlands benches, or anyone elses, he has been out injured for the past few weeks according to Lennon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I’d rather give him a go that try Ollie McFud etc. Yes he only plays against Championship teams, but going on recent performances of players with caps, can he really be any worse? I’d say no. Who knows, he might actually be decent, and the players who don’t want called up won’t be needed again. Exactly this. I can understand why people might be against it. But the bigger picture is it really isn’t a huge deal. I have little Faith in McBurnie. And we’re playing San Marino. Shankland is doing everything he can at club level and is on fine form. So I see no problem. Yes the league is questionable but it certainly isn’t as bad as any lowland league with some comparisons that have been made. is Shankland good enough at this level? Time will tell but if he is then he has a chance to prove that in what now is meaningless games. Edited October 1, 2019 by ElChris04 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he played in our Championship or Premiership he'd be scoring for fun, week in, week out I think it's just a couple of idiots.Don't worry though everything will be sorted once Shankland scores 4 against San Marino. If it wasn't for Forrest's freakish run who has scored goals for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know if it's Scottish football fans but the attitude seems to be you are as only as good as your weakest link. Our weakest links are very very weak. Probably end up with Robertson winning 3 EPL titles and four Champions league medals but never playing at a major final because we went 10 years with out a right back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think 75 mins of first team football since May is enough to warrant a place in the squad? can you confirm 100% that Tierney is 100% committed to scotland? no you can't so I can question his commitment and Clarke's back bone. I can't confirm his lack of commitment either but I find it strange a player can manage 75 minutes for a club like Arsenal but he can't go out with our squad. Am I not allowed to question this? should I just accept whatever Arsenal and Clarke say? He played 75 minutes, that means he is not injured. We've had players called up who haven't been playing much beffoe, remember Alan Hutton? Greg Taylor is in the squad - he has hardly played if at all. armstrong was constantly called up but barely makes the bench for southampton. I know you are a fan of Tienry because he played for Celtic and believe me I am a fan and I want him in the team but that doesn't mean his commitment shouldn't be questioned just like any other player I have heard Clarke say Arsenal asked for him not to be included, I think Clarke and every other manager needs to be much tougher with clubs when it comes to our players.

Why should he be offered the chance to get his first international goals instead of McBurnie who received next to zero service against Russia?
