Plays in a way that a poor defence is less exposed. Goes out to try and out pass Slovakia with a midfield poor on ball and leaves defence exposed. We should have gone there and sat deep to protect the weakest area of team then try to hit them with pace on break. Strachan played a high defensive line, a midfield that tried to out pass them and no pace going forward. They just waited and picked us off with a defence too easy to get at. He had no plan. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The importance point is that Strahan has failed and needs to go. We're a very different team to the one who drew away in Poland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bombscare defence with other better options out there, no strikers playing in a top league and largely a squad full of championship players. We may cut ourt 3-0 hammerings but bottom-line I see is we still will come up short until we have a better pool of players to call on. Sorry the idea that those defenders are the best we have is laughable...........we have tried them and tried them and tried them......They don't work........THAT MEANSÂ WE HAVE TO TRY SOMETHING ELSE REGARDLESS.

New manager named, fans tommy tank over his appointment, few months of promise then the slippery slope and the bloke becomes a khunt because he can't polish a turd. No qualification and he gets the sack and it all starts over again. It is depressing but that is how it has been for two decades now near enough.

Harsh but it's the right thing to do. In terms of fault it's not just Strachan's but he's failed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For this qualifying campaign no one will get us qualified. It is not all about qualification or bust it is about getting in a manager who gets the best out the squad and gives us the best chances of making a good run at qualifying. That isnt Strachan. That is clear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
