Also, 2 of those players you mentioned aren't centre backs. If those are the only players you think are better than McKenna then that means he's deserving of a squad place with Scotland.

Tartan blood Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 Scott McTominay starting alongside one the best footballers in history today. Playing and training with Ronaldo every day can only be a good thing. Different positions, but he'll still learn a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get him into the midfield with mcginn and gilmour  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He does fine at RCB, but he's a midfielder playing for a top end champions league team. We now have another CB playing for a Champions league team in Belgium. McTominay doesn't need to play in defence. I hate that he is shoehorned in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can only play the hand that we’re dealt. As for McTominay, looks like Utd are lining up 4-3-3 with a midfield of Pogba, Fred, McTominay. This should suit McTominay, hopefully he has a good game. He’s straight back into the 1st team as soon as he’s returned from injury, so he’s obviously rated at Man Utd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think in some games we can afford to go with a back 4, Patterson Hendry Hanley Robbo push Tierney ahead of Robbo McTominay Gilmour MacGregor  Tierney     McGinn             Dykes if we go 4/4/2 or    McTominay Gilmour Tierney   McGinn Dykes Adams if we go 4/3/3 you could change the front 3 around to suit the opposition, perhaps add Fraser in for Adams if pace is required etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Scot1 Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 You could even drop McGregor if you wanted 2 up to with Dykes and Adams midfield 4 of McTominay McGinn Gilmour Tierney    Dykes.   Adams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We know he’s not world class, but we need competition for Dykes and Stewart can provide that. He is a decent centre forward, he can do a job for us.

My mistake, Adams is our only Centre Forward playing in a top league, but he’s more suited to playing as a 2nd striker, he’s not the type to lead the line and he’s not a prolific goal scorer either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunderland have failed twice to get promoted or is it just once?

Obviously Clarke has to do a bit of jiggary pokery to accommodate Robbo, Tierney and McGinn, but I think it has worked on the whole. The other 4 players are still very much up for debate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
