We've got something to build on. That's where I am at. I feel more positive about the Scottish International team for the first time in about twenty years. There is definitely something to build on.

Robbo-Jambo Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 7 minutes ago, Silverwolf said: Just to get things into perspective, this Croatia team are going nowhere in this tournament. They are nowhere near good enough. That statement alone demonstrates the prowess of the Scotland team. Additionally, with the way the competition was set up, it was more difficult NOT to qualify for the knockout stages. You have to be really dire as only 6 teams are knocked out at the group stages. Finally, we played two games with home advantage. nuff said. Hard to argue with any of that. We are simply just not good enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VALDOS' Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 The team that started against England, with probably Patterson at right back in future, along with another one or 2 gaining experience, I think we are looking to be in a good place. Steve Clarke has done a decent job and will slowly improve. It's amazing how quickly fans have forgotten our absence from tournaments for the last two decades.

A class act. Hopefully they will tire. Apparently though, he’s ‘not the player he was’. He’s absolutely brilliant, runs the show and, contrary to common belief, does not just do ‘two yard passes’ nowadays. If only Scotland had a player as shite as Modric. 🤷🏿♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stirlo Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 I predicted a 2-1 win for Croatia tonight but I still didn't expect them to find it that easy. For long stretches of that game we couldn't get close to them. We surrendered possession far too easily - Armstrong probably being the worst offender. Until we learn to hold possession better we'll struggle. The defending for all three goals was not great either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SectionDJambo Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 Nobody anywhere near Modric when he scored. Ball watching. Scotland probably did as well as we could. Qualification was gone when we lost 2-0 at home to a very ordinary Czech team. That was the biggest game of the 3 for us and we didn’t do enough and gave away a crazy goal. We always seem to shoot ourselves in the foot at these tournaments. As for not having Billy Gilmour tonight? Clarke wouldn’t have had him in the squad if McLean and Jack had been fit.

StirlingJambo Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 Blame lies with Clake for me. Played nowhere near his strongest 11 first game and took to long to make subs. England game, right team picked and everyone played out their socks. Third game probably right team but wrong tactics. You dont give a ballon d’or winner 10/15 seconds on the ball every time he gets ball. Was Armstrong’s side every time and he was nowhere near him. Should have made subs/changed tactics at half time as we were lucky to go in 1-1 and still had to go for win. Players like O’Donnell should be nowhere near the set up..bottom 6 players. To scared to get on ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Der Kaiser Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 This is my two cents. Cooper captains Premiership Leeds......why are Hanley and sub McKenna ahead of this guy? Paterson just won the title with Rangers...OK not played a lot but played in Europe with them and is young, fast and direct....why is a slow Motherwell defender ahead of him? Fraser is a regular for Newcastle....and the better option than Armstrong. McTominay plays in Midfield for Man Utd....why is he a CB with Scotland? Player selection is still one of our main problems IMHO. We always have journeymen and never seem to be confident to take risks. Proud but disappointed........uniquely Scottish eh.

Charles Ward Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 (edited) Clarke should resign. He had one main job tonight: Stop Modric. Easy enough said, but we never had anyone on him all night. There was nobody within 15 yards of the only world class player for his goal. How Dykes stayed on the pitch is beyond me. He is crap. I would even play McBurnie before him. Armstrong was crap. McTominay should have been in midfield on Modric the entire game and someone else in CB. Also, O'Donnell is about to get his big move to Arbroath.

Basically guaranteed Marshall all 3 games, Gordon playing would have left us with a chance v the Czechs and wouldn’t have conceded 3 tonight!
