Ot Scotland

Oh dear, what a shambles. Awful. I had high hopes for Clarke but that was terrible. No drive, no aggression, no service to a lone striker.
McTominay, one our best midfielders played on the right of a back 3, yes, McTominay played at CB, Andy Robertson pushed out of position at wing back in a cluttered left side with Tierney (to please Celtic) and Christie there too.
McGregor the pass sideways king, chosen instead of Armstrong (to please Celtic no doubt) Ryan Jack (to please Rangers) totally anonymous. We were lucky to get at draw.

Some things in life just don't change.

And another thing while I'm on an off topic rant 😁 How come no-one out of Davie Provan Charlie Mulgrew and James McFadden had the balls to call it what it was, utter and complete sh1te!

[stokearab]

For once I agree with Willie Miller....

"It was an awful performance. Israel controlled the game for vast periods and we didn't get close to them. We were passengers. We were bystanders. There weren't any fans in the ground but our players were like spectators.

We've got players that should be playing better. We've got big problems. I can't possibly see us being as timid as we were, surely. If you're going to go down, go down fighting"

I'm hoping yesterdays result/performance will finally put to bed the tierney at LCB with Robertson at LWB idea to bed. I personally didn't think it would work before we tried it. the options are either Tierney at RB with Robbo at LB, Tierney at CB in a 4 or bite the bullet and drop one of them. That's the decisions managers need to make.

The whole team imo was a shambles.

I rate marshall as GK but hes hardly played for me the boy McLaughlin should have been in goal.
McTominay should never been at CB (esp when 2 CB's sit on the bench)
Jack- neat and tidy but doesn't play forward passes much.
Forrest at RWB? celtic try that and can get away with it due to them having the ball all the time but it doesn't suit him or the team having him there for scotland.
Mcgregor- normally decent but struggled last night.
Mcginn- plays further forward but hardly has support around him.
Christie- seemed to be headless chicken running.
Dykes- done well with what he got but no support whatsoever.

forcing players out of position and not playing natural players in them positions just makes us look silly.

big improvements needed if to win playoffs. Israel looked far more comfortable and were in control most of the game

Premiership darling of a manager being found out at International level and having his reputation ruined. Where have we heard that before? Steve Clarke following perfectly in the footsteps of Sir Craig Levein.

Great chance for Scotland.

It’s a full international and will make a difference to ranking and nations league future.

Surely can show a bit of heart and beat Czech B - I’m not taking anything for granted though. We’d struggle to break down San Marino

[JamesMcClean]

So basically the Czechs have called up their pub players for Monday night. You just know what’s coming here................................

seeing robertson getting stick in press and tierney glowing reports. Crazy stuff play two players out of position and have a go at one for not being as good as they are at liverpool. Very Kenny esque that .

It's a complete sh1ttstorm. At least half of Glasgow wants to criticise Andy because they love Tierney. The other half hate him because he played for us. The lad can't win there.
Clarke had Tierney more or less LB, Christie on the left wing so Andy was sandwiched between the two with no space to operate in. No wonder he looked poor.
Terrible from Clarke.
