Exactly what I said out loud. 

 

Severely unlucky. 

[upgotheheads]

credit the goalie for narrowing the angle.

Thats the sort of chance that may make clark think twice about playing him ahead of dykes and the che adams. He should be putting that away.

[Valois No1]

Prob cost us a million quid that miss

[Nelly Terraces]

Not 'unlucky', just a poor finish. 

[ShedBoy]

Poor from the big man

[Gordons left glove]

I've jinxed us again 😭

[Tenor]

To be fair, I don't think Adams or Dykes is even getting that close

Yeah

 

He needed to score that, that probably killed his chances of starting at the Euros

[BigAlim]

Does Che Adams score that though?

How can he narrow the angle in the middle? 
 

Shocking miss.

He should but you wouldn't bet on either of them in that position.

[pettigrewsstylist]

If he score that hes on fire for next 3 friendlies

Needs to not let it bother him. Easier said than done when chances so thin at this level.

[dsk1210]

I have seen enough tonight to not absolutely shit my pants when the Euros start. We can go and compete as hard as it will be.

[rmreido]

Hopefully that's just a sighter, from shanks

Dykes and Adams likely wouldn't have put it away either, they're not exactly clinical in front of goal, but you'd expect Shankland to bury going by the ones he scores for us.

[benny]

Unlucky my arse.

Siitter.

I agree and we really could have scored a goal or 2.

The goalie did well, the mark of a good striker is sometimes how many opportunities he misses as well as scores, paradoxical as that may seem.

[Hood09]

He’s been honk tonight. Doesn’t fit with style of play

[liam11]

Shankland hooked at the first opportunity.

Doubtful, but hes not on outside trying to barge his way in.

[Luckies1874]

Think Shanks is about to come off. A more than decent shift where he contributed plenty. So gutting he never buried the chance when it arrived as I genuinely think he could have secured a starting spot had that ended up in the onion bag. Big big miss at this level. 

[PaddysBar]

It doesn’t matter. That should have been buried. 

[tian447]

Shankland off. 

 

There's the excuse not to start him in future games for the doubters. 

[Tenor]

Unlucky Shanks - that was his chance. Subbed off

Quite easily.

Cant have any complaints,  he had his chance and blew it unfortunately 

[weaz1981]

Really good overall performance 

[alicante jambo]

He been subbed but has played well. He will be kicking himself.

[Homme]

Shankland should be really happy with his overall performance tonight. Offers much more than Dykes for example. You can't compare to Adams.

 

 

[AlimOzturk]

Che Adams built like a tank.

Coaches are mainly looking at being in the right position to get the chance.

 

It was still a good performance.

[HeartsandonlyHearts]

What is the point of carrying 4 goalies for friendlies if you’re not going to give them a half each over the two games. 

[GBJambo]

Shanks played well . Unlucky not to score 

[KG1874]

Shank has been in the game alot more than adams and dykes usually are for Scotland, for me. Gutted he’s missed that. Licking his lips as he took the shot anaw, few more starts and the goals will start tae flow

Yes. Being in the right position. His best chance was the pass he didn't get when he was in space.

At the end of the day he got a start, played pretty well but blew it when the big moment arrived. Don’t think he did himself any harm this evening in fact I thought he contributed well but what an opportunity to underline his credentials he passed up. That he’ll still have doubters is on him nobody else!

What about the other players who have ****ed chances? Christie, Gilmour, McGinn?

Aye hes played well mate. Van djyk struggled a few times with his presence too . Gutted for shankland though.
