Philfigo Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 We really should have had 3 if not 4 goals tonight! Doest matter how good we play and nice passing etc find the net first and foremost. Shankland will be gutted he simply has to score. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely strengthened the case for him to go to the Euros. Souttar shite since he came on. To be fair i doubt SC is needing to test his finishing,so yeah a competent demonstration of strength, touch and awareness tonight is probably more what he needed to show. He did fine in that regard against a top top side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add in Hickey’s presence and despite the score tonight there is plenty to be encouraged about. The problem is when it ends up 3-0 or 4-0 and the goodwill definitely slips away. Scotland have done very well tonight, and have had 3 or 4 excellent chances to score. We put them all away and we're running away with beating one of the best teams in the world (6th best on rankings). Problem is, we haven't laid a glove on them where it matters. Totally agree that it is better playing well and getting beat, than playing shite and getting beat... But it's still a sore one to take. We won't always get it our way, and we need to be better in front of goal. We've squandered a good few chances tonight, and the result has ended up getting away from us. Doesn't matter in a friendly, but if we do this in the Euros, we'll be done after 270 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papa Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 On another night Shanks scores two. In the first half when Gilmour robs the defender and the ball breaks to Shanks, if he swivels rather than playing back to Gilmour, he has an empty net to aim at.

If we weren’t creating and looking dangerous it would be far more worrying heading to Germany. Goals haven’t been as big an issue with the squad and I don’t think they will be if we keep playing with the fluidity we have. I’d rather we got the luck in June too!

Pans Jambo Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 Up to his miss Shanks did nothing wrong. In fact he did well with a few of his link up plays and got involved. His miss was a shocker though. Would put yer mortgage on him scoring that. Hopefully he gets another chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PortyJambo Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 5 minutes ago, tian447 said: This result is what worries me about the Germany game, and the rest of the Euros. Scotland can do everything right in terms of possession and build up, but when we lack the clinical finishing that other teams have at this level, you suddenly find yourself a couple of goals down "against the run of play". It counts for nothing unless you can create opportunies to score from, and put them. Away. And that's why Clarke has to stick with Shankland, Adams and Dykes, decent though they are, are not clinical finishers. Shankland can be if he'll keep giving him the chance to show it. His other play tonight holding it up and laying it off for other should be just what Clarke wants. If you had to score a goal, who would you rather have, Shankland, Adams, Dykes or, shudder, Jacob Brown? I'd like to think Clarke isn't quite so stubborn to not realise the answer.

Add in Hickey’s presence and despite the score tonight there is plenty to be encouraged about. Yup. Absolutely. Hit the bar twice. Christies was a great leap and Shanks scores that, 9 times out of 10. Its simply 2 clinical moments that is the difference in the game. We have broke up play well, and got bodies into their half Folk forget - For the last 30 years we have been camped in our half, watching through our fingers ......... Its night and day to what it was before and simply, massive strides under Clarks leadership Not all doom and gloom - We have shown over 90 minutes we can compete. Its just these clinical moments ... As much as that, Souttar lost his marker for the 2nd, and the first was a worldly, but we could have got out and shut him down quicker Its the perfect friendly for whats to come against Germany. Im not to dissapointed at all - just with the result as we were more than in this and caused them problems at the back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
