romanticscot Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 Here are my big decisions Defence for me Henry McKenna Tierney Mckenna just to be a no nonsense pure defender, for distribution Henry and Tierney. McTominay on the bench, I dont see a reason to tamper with Gilmour and McGregor. McGinn ahead. Paterson on the right, I cant fault SOD defensively, I dont think he has let us down but I would do this to give Israel someone different to contend with. Up front Dykes my Dingo warrior and Che Adams. McTominay and Christie to appear at some point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saintsparky Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 Having seen the problems Israel have given us previously, I'm convinced we need to have two wide players to pin their full backs back.. I would go 4-2-1-3 Gordon Paterson. Hendry Tierney. Robbo McTominay. Gilmour McGinn Christie. Dykes. Fraser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My own opinion is if fit hes our best midfielder and automatic starter.. Along with McGinn he is our best midfield player IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we control the midfield with Gilmour and McGregor, I think Patterson and Robertson will be pinning back Israel’s full backs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look how many times they have played V Israel and not scored as Israel know how to cope with them. It is the pacier supporting striker they cannot shackle as Forrest, Christie and Fraser have proven scoring five goals against them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was thinking o this myself! it would bamboozle the Israelis as they will expect the same old line up that they are used to and very familiar with. Id imaging that they could preplan there tactics weeks before playing us as they know what and who they will be up against...Proper good shout this!

ST6's-t-army Posted October 8, 2021 Author Share Posted October 8, 2021 Remember seeing Frazer and McDykes playing together a few games back and Dykes held it up for Wee frazer to run in and they were mint together. Cany remember who this game was against but Frazer scored. I would like to see Calum McGregor in the team though! he bossed last couple o games.

I hope I’m wrong though and Patterson plays both. i dont think Paterson has been tested enough at this level defensively He will start against Faroes and SOD the morra.. IMO £100 Grealish and Harry (Spagetti Hands) Kane £100m? couldnae get past SOD... Edited October 8, 2021 by stocky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomorrows game is more for the experienced and minutes under the belt team, Not a time to give minutes out.

I can understand why Clarke might go with O’Donnell tomorrow but we do need to be attacking against Israel. Clarke really needs to do something different against Israel to throw them off balance as they’ll know what to expect with O’Donnell. They’ll also be expecting us to go down the left all the time if O’Donnell starts. Patterson could be just what we need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was poor in both and terrible in the game we lost last year. Israel will know this and will be happy if he starts. Patterson will give us a completely different option down the right and could make the difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAVIDB46 Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 7 hours ago, daviebee said: Our 5 best players (IMO) who should always start are in this order: Robertson, Gilmour, Tierney, McGinn, McTominay It doesn't make a lot of sense to have 3 of that 5 in unnatural positions. McTominay should be kept out of the defence. Would not have mctominay starting can’t defend for toffee and he is all over the place for midfield for us and not in a good way, There seems to be this desperation to shoehorn him into the side .

I see yer point and i reckon that being unpredictable will make there heads fall off! they would be that confident in Steve's tactics and line up that they would have being prepping for us to play a certain way for the last week. imagine if we came out with a few changes OR even a different set up......

Guest Scot1 Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 It’ll be interesting to see what team / formation Clarke puts out. Huge game and at home in front of a full Hampden it’s one we are well capable of winning. I think Clarke will stick with the 3/5/2 or variation of, and if needs be go to a back 4 similar to the last game in Israel. Gordon Hendry. Cooper Tierney Patterson. Robbo McTominay Gilmour MacGregor McGinn Dykes I’d be happy with either Cooper or McKenna in the middle of the back 3, I’ve went for Cooper purely on his experience but I’d have no problems with McKenna starting there.

If Hanley was available I’d start with a back 4. But with me including Patterson in the starting 11, I wouldn’t want to change things too much, which is why I’ve kept Hendry in his usual position and not in the middle of the 3. I definitely don’t want to see McTominay in defence tomorrow Would like to see us switch to a back 4 against the Faroes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
