Feck me.... I’m at a loss with scotland.  Thought the team looked good on paper, but as my old boss said... “good on paper, shit on grass”.

I really don’t know what the answer is.  Glad I’m not having to make the magic happen.

 

Thumb could make all the difference

It did look good on paper, with the glaring exception of Scott McTominay at centre-half.  He's a good player but he's never a centre-half in a month of Sundays.

I’m thinking 4-4-1-1 now....    we need to try and create a centre half pairing.  Dunno....

maybe

 

                                Goalie

Tierney          McKenna Cooper  robertson

armstrong     Mctominay  mcginn    Fraser (if he can be arsed)

                                  Christie

                                   Dykes

We can't play with a central midfield two.

Contrary to popular belief, we aren't strong in midfield. We need a middle central three.

Need to stop shoe horning players in and just pick the most effective in each position. If it means picking either Robertson or Tierney then so be it, I’d probably pick Tierney at this point in time.

As for Creativity, we have 3 Midfielders who are regulars in good premier league sides, Fleck and Armstrong benched and McGinn moved out wide to accommodate lesser players.
