Caledonian Craig Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 On way back from the match. I thought Armstrong had a really good game as did Hickey and Tierney. The subs all made a difference. They never threatened.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weekevie04 Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 Very decent performance on the whole - if we could be better in the last third (how long have we been saying that?) but there's a good team there and some great players coming through. Hickey was excellent. Tierney is always reliable. Dykes is a great asset (if you aren't relying on him to score). Christie can be frustrating but did well for the two goals. Gunn was solid/one save? Overall pretty good! Hopefully can sneak a win on Tuesday now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Ramy 1314 Posted March 25, 2023 Author Share Posted March 25, 2023 Gonnae get pelters for this, buy I would bring Doak in for the Spain match. We are not suppose to compete with them, so bring in Doak and let him have a go.. It's a gamble, but other clubs and countries have done it with youngsters, so why not. This lad is fearless and what an engine. Could literally lite a fire under some others arse aswell if he performs !! Incoming!!🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Setting up 2 goals will do though. He'll be our highest cap earner before he finishes up, and he'll deserve it. Apparently today was only his 61st cap. For some reason I thought he had more. At 29 years old, maybe getting over 100 caps is a lot to ask. But you never know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great player but he did it today and I've seen him do it for liverpool, gets insde the penalty box and seems to be unsure whether to shoot or cross and, ultimately, ends up doing something kinda in-between. Nitpicking, I know but if he could make the right decision in these moments, man what a player he'd be!

I think we play an average of around ten matches per year - even without qualifying for a tournament - so by 33, he could be around 100 caps (assuming he's still playing internationals in four years).

Hertsscot Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 Minor point and I know some disagree but thought it was great, blue shirts, white shirts, red socks. Back to memories of Dalglish, Jordan, McQueen et al. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it'll probably come down to whether he's still playing regularly for Liverpool by then. But he only turned 29 this month, so no reason why he won't. If he didn't have Tierney, Hickey and Doig all ready to take over, then I'd say 100+ caps would be inevitable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romanticscot Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 I can see Robertson retiring from international football after the next World Cup campaign. His game is very physical and he has been very fortunate that he has avoided lengthy injury layoffs or if he has it hasnt affected his game. Did anyone else see McGinn after the game, he was acting like a captain IMO yes with his interview but he was waiting for our players encouraging them and high fiving. I had marked McTominay as a future captain years ago but I doubt it that will happen. McGinn is a player who somehow handles the pressure like water of a ducks back, I dare say the players all expect him to be scoring the same way we do but it doesn't phase him.

supersub Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 Thought we played in 2nd gear for a lot of the game. 3-0 was deserved and put some gloss on the performance. Need a bit more urgency at times as could come down to goal difference. Deliveries into the box were poor but controlled the game from kick off.

er yir macaroon Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 Hickey had a reasonable game as pointed out by a few but he needs to get crosses in with his right foot. I don’t think he really has attacking instincts but is a good defender and all round footballer. I’m sure making half a yard and crossing is something he could work on.

The Black Bra Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 Got Spain v Norway on seeing as I’ve paid for Viaplay for a month. Spain 1-0 up, was about to post Norway have barely touched the ball but they’ve just had a chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At 29 years old, maybe getting over 100 caps is a lot to ask. But you never know. He only really broke into the team regularly from 2017 onwards so it's about right. If Tierney can stay clear of major injuries he'll probably get more caps than Robbo, still only 25 and should reach 50 caps by end of next year. It's funny with positions sometimes isn't it? 2-3 years back and you had Liam Palmer and O'Donnell toiling away at RB. Both did their best (especially S O'D playing his heart out in Belgrade) but now Hickey and Patterson have come along, been put in pretty early and that position is now sorted for the next decade. If only a 20 year old CF would develop out of nowhere...very jealous ROI have Evan Ferguson as he'd be perfect for what Clarke is developing.

ParisInAKilt Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 Thought we played some good football, especially first half and 3 nil didn’t flatter us in the end. Tougher games to come but it’s a good start to build on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
