exile Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 I thought Foden looked dangerous. But they took him off. 🙄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caledonian Craig Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 It is really great that some of our more slated players put in such a great shift such as Marshall, McGregor and O'Donnell. Well done lads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exile Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 (edited) I guess this must count as a good team effort and punching above our weight. We should enjoy tonight and the weekend while it lasts. Edited June 18, 2021 by exile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HighlandScot Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 There were some immense performances, particularly Hanley, McTominay, McGinn, Robertson and Tierney. Gilmour was good without being too penetrative in attack. O'Donnell also had one of his better games, though is a full-back and not a wing back suited to a back 3. But I have to disagree everyone emerges with great credit, as for me McGregor is a glaring weakness. Off the ball when the opposition has possession he NEVER EVER marks anyone, or tracks runners. He is always ball-watching in a zone completely by himself. In possession he does not demand the ball like Gilmour, and invariably plays backwards. This adds huge pressure on the rest of the midfield. Once upon a time under Brendan Rodgers he was a good player, but no longer. Clarke is obsessed with him, and after that result is sure to play him against Croatia. We cannot afford to be carrying a passenger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, he doesn't tackle but he doesn't need to. I was critical too but after tonight I see what Clarke sees in him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TDYER63 Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 OMG i am having to double my blood pressure tablets. So pleased for the team, the fans down there, and those going on Tuesday . I am also fookin disappointed in myself that I never had faith and chose to go to the Czech game over Croatia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caledonian Craig Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 Two matches played against England and Czech Republic and in both games had more shots on target than our much lauded opponents. No goals though which is the real pity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romanticscot Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 Totally delighted with the result, every player was fantastic. I was saying to my pal when we were discussing potential subs I couldn't think of anyone was tying and I couldn't think of anyone who was an obvious call. We go into the last game with everything to play for and even 2nd is a possibility but I don't care where we finish as long as take care of Croatia and go through.

Haggis_trap Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 Best nil-nil ever. Stevie Clarke nailed the tactics. Gilmour is a Rolls Royce and allowed McGinn to push on. Man for man Scotland were brilliant. So many good performances. Stephen ODonnel of Motherwell had Sterling in his back pocket. Went toe to toe with them and there was nothing in it.

They must be just watching the ball all the time and not following what is happening off the ball. He is one of our most important players.

exile Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 (edited) So England had one shot on target. Marshall saved well. So the defence did their job. But that scrum near the end - living dangerously! Edited June 18, 2021 by exile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
