Whelky75 Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 2 hours ago, Caledonian Craig said: Yes I said as much earlier that for all they have the best striker in the world it has not resulted in qualification for them. Also it lazy to look at his club form this year and assume he will have the same returns for Norway. Manchester City's midfield is laced with world class midfielders and defence of the scale that Norway are way below. They do not have the ultra skillful midfield who can lay chances on a plate for him. He’s not played anywhere close to a full qualification campaign yet though. And I don’t think he needs much service to destroy our level of central defenders, he can do that on his own! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely they all go on sale via the ssc. Know that quite a few Scotland fans have bought home supporters tickets near the away section. Also somebody posted that the game was now sold out.

broraboy Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 Haaland current injury would be better timed around Scotland match away or if Man City make the Champions League Final on Sat 10th June, the week before he plays us he might call off after a week of partying!? But as previously mentioned, starve him of service then he won’t get as many chances🙏 Haven’t checked what his record is like with Norway and call offs ?? Now that he’s at Man City I’m sure he’s called off before……. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't seen it, but can only imagine. The man is sooooo strong, and near impossible to get the ball off at times. Imagine if we had a McHallaand?

Texas Pete Posted June 3, 2023 Share Posted June 3, 2023 Can’t say I was that impressed with Haaland today. Hopefully he’ll be as quiet in his next 2 games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's obvious. Keep the service to him limited and he will struggle. Great finisher but won't create much himself. It's all about midfield. Control that and i think wr can win.

We have to watch long balls to chase from the goalkeeper; if he outpaces our back 3 we will be in trouble. I'm sure they will use the Mancity tactic.

romanticscot Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 I'm more hoping his missus is having a baby and he needs to take care of his new family. Everybody wins, except the Norway team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thesaint Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 Just read Harald Brattbakk talking about the game and telling Norway not to underestimate Scotland and that Scotland are closer to Norway than many people think. Really... very big of him. Let's hope Norway for some bizarre reason do underestimate us and that they are in for a shock. Not saying Norway aren't a decent side but can't see anything in their recent results to justify them in thinking they are better than us.

Caledonian Craig Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 Spain walloped Norway 3-0. We beat the same Spain side 2-0. And I do not think the.home and away thing makes five goal difference. We have had a tough time of late but we still were at a major tournament more recently than Norway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the past year or so Norway have beaten Sweden (about 12 places better than us in world rankings) home and away and also Serbia in Serbia. Haaland scored 5 of the 6 goals and provided an assist for the other. Haaland didn't play against Spain or Georgia. The big advantage getting to the Euro finals is that counting the play offs our current squad has 4 more competitive games behind them than Norway. Could argue there are psychological ones as well. Bookies make it a coin toss about whether we lose or not. If my life depended on it I would want the Norway side of the coin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norway, to do that, need to go on a run of results that their recent form suggests is beyond them. Our form is far more consistent. Sure we know about the quality of Haaland and Odegaard but Norwegian fans will also know of the quality of Robertson, Tierney and McGinn from saturation coverage the EPL gets over there and our win V Spain won't have filled them with confidence.

Big Ramy 1314 Posted June 15, 2023 Author Share Posted June 15, 2023 Cut of service to him. No ball, no threat... Easier said than done.. When he does get the ball ? Whack him, take a yellow, let him know. I'm sure Man City have been in his ear about injury, conduct. We need to use this to pur advantage..

Interesting question. I have not seen a player dominate fullbacks like this in years. You give this man an inch, and he will destroy you. He is their main threat, how do you try and stop him !!!!
