bonzo Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Thought he did ok tonight got into some decent positions. I know they were a pub team but hey ho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weekevie04 Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 I thought he did well tonight. A tough task considering the conditions, but some nice touches, movement and got in to good spaces - taking in to account the opposition. I thought he did well against Russia too in the wee bits of the ball he got. I hope he keeps his place, and if I had to choose between him and McBurnie, I'd give Shankland the nod again for November.

Barney Rubble Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 (edited) Good movement from Shankland all through the game tonight. A couple of excellent balls across the box in the first half. Docked one star because of the quality of the opposition. but certainly worthy of further consideration despite the provocative nature of the OP.

bigfingers Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Shankland will improve by being in and around the squad on the build up to the play offs. At least we have another option now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd even (if going by those last two games) and McBurnie's before that, had to pick a 23 man Euros squad and had one space left between those two, Lawrence would be the man.

That's one call that Strachan got right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did nothing that any one wearing the number 9 shirt wouldn't have done any better. Said before the game the last think we need was an unproven player looking good against the worst opposition in the world and suckering people into thinking he was better than he was. Another nice 20 minutes at the end of a game by Armstrong should insure his starting position for a couple of games despit the fact he cant get 10 for his club.

GTF - I've had you down as one of the better posters on this tired forum?? I watched the game on an American channel tonight, so I've no idea - or indeed any interest - in what Provan had to offer. Play the ball and not the man please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Beem Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 GiveN the fucking state some folk have got themselves in over the Shankland call up Im delighted he scored. Cunts like Kris Boyd and Scott Allan, both model pros of course, saying he wasn’t up for it. Thats as well as our own ever increasing dickhead fans that base talent on the size of a players club and wage packet. 😂😂😂🙈 Shanklands reaction to his goal and also the boy Findlays was fucking great. Both absolutely buzzing. You think they give a fuck about who they were playing against ? Do they fuck. 👍⚽️⚽️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exile Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Just saw the goals. good to see McGinn looking lively around the box, being in the right place at the right time. Also Shankland. I even spotted Forrest making a could of runs, and a hand in at least one of the goals. The Armstrong strike, I'd say we can surely bank as a good international goal, whoever the opposition is, to get the ball where he put it would give most keepers little chance?

Jim Beem Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Worth noting that Shankland is now only 6 goals behind Kris Boyds total. Obviously he has only been in the squad less than a week. 😃 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ElChris04 Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Happy to see Shankland in again for November, good positioning, showed a ton of passion today and got his goal, feel there’s more to come. He gets the nod over McBurnie for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
