We used to qualify playing 4-4-2 When we had good centre backs. Regardless of formations, if you can't make simple 5 yard passes, you won't win. The pressure of being in a match they're expecting to win is far too much for the Scotland players.

Eassy Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 And with the second decent ball into the box in over 100 minutes of football we score.. who’d have thought it, hopefully first of many for the big man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not much but we shouldn’t be playing with 3 at the back if we don’t have the players to do it. Playing McTominay at the back and Palmer as a wing back proves we don’t. Decent ball in from Palmer for the goal in fairness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burj_Alba Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 4-5-1, 4-4-2, 4-3-2-1 whatever. Their technique is far above ours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mccaughey85 Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 We looked pretty decent against Kazakhstan in the last internationals before this ones. This two international matches have been woeful. Not sure if it's the formation or whether we are not match sharp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They look lost when under attack BUT going forward palmer is the better choice becausr the czechs are doubling up on roberston Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any decent left back would have just taken it straight off him. I cant see them not scoring again. Regardless of players, formations, manager etc, we seem to have this horrendous mentality of being nervous, timid bottle merchants. Shite state of affairs and has been the case for years. 🤷♂️ Edited September 7, 2020 by Jim Beem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
