Annoys me how casual he is in possession at times, gave the ball away on numerous occasions. Its hard to see where he’d fit in to our midfield if everyone was fit.

runningtings Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 My biggest disappointment is folk thinking that we are somehow going to be world beaters. We scraped into this tournament and ended up 4th in our group, not the worst team in the competition but about right for our ranking.

Bobby Russell's Lovechild Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 Disappointment for me - 11 tournaments we've reached in our history, is there any other countries reached this and never got out the group stages? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since there is only 1 decent Scottish manager out there, Davie Moyes, and I can’t see him leaving West Ham. I’d be looking on the continent for an attack minded manager.

One of my mates said after the game last night something I think is very true. It was along the lines that ‘Armstrong plays on the fringes or the game’. I thought that very true. A burst here and there, some nice touches, passes crosses but ultimately if he’s playing on the fringes of the game then that’s not what we need. Squad player nevertheless. I see others mentioning McTominay. I think it is becoming increasingly apparent that he doesn’t fit. I don’t think he’s got great quality for the midfield role and is prone to a mistake a game at the back. Managers will want to fit him in but I don’t think it’s doing it for us. Up front we are just really struggling and there’s no obvious answer on the horizon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gkm_vancouver Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 Tactical naivety from the coach. Can't blame the players as they gave their all, even if some of our play was embarrassing at times. OK its our first tourney for 23 years, the players and the national manager but he does have experience of high pressure games so thought we would perform better overall. I just can't help feeling he approached this tourney as a set of 3 league games rather than 3 cup finals, with at least one as a must win. It can't be of course but that's how it appears. We'd beaten the Czechs twice last year, admittedly once with a 3rd stream line up but believed we had a better and stronger team now - Gilmour, Adams, Cooper, Patterson, Nisbet. Did not really see the Robbo-Tierney partnership that looked so good last year and even moreso, a change in tactics that we had seen in other matches - if things weren't going well - by changing shape and bringing on players like Fraser and Forrest to go direct as a goal threat (on the ground)! It's almost like we just adopted the long ball punt and hope and are going backwards in development, not forwards. We've gone from a ten game unbeaten run to two wins in ten. Gilmour was a revelation though and almost need to build the team around him for the future but the Czech and Croatia games were bitterly disappointing.
