macy37 Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 The Germany squad has 173 international goals in it. Ours has 35. I wonder how long it takes us to score 173 goals? I'm guessing the 1980s Exactly. I fear a real shafting tonight, always have but now even more so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andyD Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 I can see this being a possible lineup: MarshallHuttonMartinHanleyRobertsonBrownMulgrewForrestRussell Anya Griffiths I'm still not sure about Griffiths up on his own, but he's been playing there for Celtic and he's quicker than naismith or fletcher. This game's going to be about faster counter attacks to exploit the dominance the germans with doubtless have possession and territory wise. Anya and Forrest have the pace to punish their advanced fullbacks, that's just a fact. regardless of whether you rate Forrest or not, when it comes to a flat race, he's one of the player you'd want. Russell's, not a slouch either and showed against England that he's got some nice link up play in his locker. I could see a case for Morrison here as he'd be better when needed defensively tho. For the rest. we could see mulgrew at left back in place of robertson, meaning morrison in midfield and maloney behind the striker. I think this is a game where maloney would just get lost attacking-wise and not contribute enough defensively tho. We'll see. Weirdly looking forward to it, anything we get is a bonus. The biggie is Poland at home, that's the must win game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Kilt Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 I can see this being a possible lineup:... The line up is already out there on social media. It's Marshall, Hutton, Martin, Hanley, Mulgrew, Brown, McArthur, Maloney, Morrison, Forrest, Fletcher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thewolf_1980 Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Mulgrew, Morrison and Forrest. Splendid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COLT NY Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 (edited) Very disappointing. In Fletcher and Gordon we have two of our best players in a generation wasting away on the sidelines. They've both missed a considerable amount of their best international years with injury and illness. It's time to bring them back into the starting eleven....

rabmania Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 (edited) According to the Hootsmon Anya and Naismith don't make the bench. "The substitutes will likely be Darren Fletcher, Johnny Russell, Leigh Griffiths, Gordon Greer, Chris Martin, Craig Gordon, Matt Ritchie, Allan McGregor and Steven Whittaker."

Ally Bongo Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 It's unfathomable that Anya is not even on the bench Not being in the starting 11 is understandable but not being on the bench ? Sigh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Third Lanark Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Forrest is incomprehensible. He flatters to deceive, lacks bottle and constantly fails to deliver crosses. Will always run into a blind alley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
