Boyces beard Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 Reckon Shanks will get the 1st half with another striker getting the 2nd half, same when we play Northern Ireland at Hampden so he will get his chance to show what he can do against teams at different ends of the spectrum.

No. He's trying a system that will hopefully suit Shankland. I don't think there's much doubt Shankland has earned this chance. And mainly it will depend on the other players to create chances for him. Maybe Clarke is changing the system for Shankland.

Fozzyonthefence Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 15 minutes ago, ecky92 said: How ?? An away game against Netherlands up against the best Centre Back in the world isn’t exactly a chance to shine. I’d rather see him get full 90 v N Ireland. I just don’t think Clarke will give him many chances to stake his claim. The other argument of course is that this is the kind of opposition he can come up against in Germany (although I’d argue Hungary and Switzerland aren’t as good and possibly Germany at the moment too). Great to see him start but hopefully not at the expense of him getting chances in the other friendlies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diadora Van Basten Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 I think that being picked against Holland is a good sign as they are going to be more comparable to the teams we will play in the Euros. I would think the team v Holland will be close to our first eleven. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was too loyal with Marshall at the last EUROS and it cost us badly against the Czech Republic in the first match. It was clear at the time he wasn't on good form domestically.

Ferguson will get game time both before and at the Euros. It’s an area of the team that is particularly strong but it’s brilliant we have that depth. Taking nothing away from his superb season people do underestimate the likes of Christie who has had an outstanding season with Bournemouth, starts every week in the EPL and has performed consistently well for Scotland. Like Shanks, Ferguson’s time is coming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cameronstheman Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 (edited) Clarke annoys me at times, but what Manager doesn't and he's done amazing in recently But I remember he would play Patterson (who could not get in the Everton team) ahead of Hickey who was getting praise in Italy and only played Hickey after Patterson got injured .Think Clarke deffo has his favs, but that's his job to pick the team Re of my moan 2-2 Mon Shanks Edited March 22 by Cameronstheman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
