breeks_mctavish Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 I think Gilmour will play, only because Steve Clarke is a fine manager and he will have recognised what a difference Gilmour made when he came on in the last game. I don’t think he’s the cautious conservative he’s made out to be. I’m not even sure why he’s got that reputation. He seems quite ruthless at picking the best players to win a match to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caledonian Craig Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Well no injuries according to Clarke in his presser. Blows that rumour out of the water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Clarke backs Stephen O'Donnell amid growing calls for Nathan Patterson to start Well, Steve, one thing he did wrong was let John McGinn get doubled by Czech players, and not see the danger, leading up to the first goal.

Got the ball stuck under his feet in about the second or third minute, there's another. His "best", though, was when he managed to completely get in Ryan Christie's way when Christie was making a good run into the box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haggis_trap Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 ^ yup : Tierney back for England would be massive. Organise the defense and help us play out. Honestly believe he is our best player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That one was already recited to tedium on here on Monday night. Let's get behind all of the squad for the upcoming games instead - irrespective of whom the manager picks to start.

I was just pointing out that Clarke shouldn't be asking such a loaded question. But you're right. I truly believe that if we go into the next games with the same mentality and performance, we can get something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's an honest, hard working player, but he did look scared. If he's like that against the Czechs, imagine what he'll be like against England. It would be best to take him out of the limelight, for his own benefit. Hendry or Fraser at right wing back... maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whoever is picked has my 100% support for the duration of the game but anyone could see he was miles off the pace on Monday. That's not the sole reason we lost, of course. 3 hours ago, Taylor1996 said: I've always stuck up for him. I think he's an honest, hard working player, but he did look scared.

To give him some credit I remember he did okay against Belgium when he was up against Eden Hazard, but I'd try someone else there against England. For me, though, Fraser isn't best suited for that position. He can play there, but it's like using a Shetland pony to pull a carriage. Fraser's better in a creative, attacking role, in my view. I'd play Forrest at RWB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd play Forrest at RWB. He was solid all the way up to the Czech match. You can tell a lot about players by how they react to big occasions. It wasn't good by O'Donnell. To be honest, I would be comfortable with anyone at RWB as long as it's not O'Donnell... Armstrong, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doesn't sound good. Is it worth risking him against England to put a pretty big likelihood he'll be out of the Croatia game? He really is a monumental loss. On his form, he was basically our most important player. Just having him on the pitch gives everyone else a psychological boost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having him on the field would be a plus, for the reasons you said, but I'm not sure if it's worth it if he isn't fully ready. It's a variable that we don't need.

A fully fit and firing Tierney could be the difference between us getting a result against England. However, I think we are good enough to beat Croatia without him. Though it'll make the task far harder. It's a hell of a dilemma. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two world class players and fate steps in "Nah! You'll have one and you'll be grateful!" It's maddening. Best case scenario, he'll be raring to go for both matches... even if it means he'll miss a part of Arsenal's pre-season. Let's be honest, we deserve a wee bit of luck with regards injuries, when you count Darren Fletcher, McFadden, Gordon, Kennedy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which he acknowledged he shouldn’t have done and nearly ended his career. It’s one thing after the other, im starting to think he’ll be retired before he’s 30.

JECK Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 For me personally I wish they’d do away with the anthems. A waste of time and just antagonistic for a lot of morons to boo at, our fans are probably the worst for it. The last thing I’d want to do before a big match is sing a f**king song.
