Jambo, Goodbye Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 D Fletcher = worst Scotland captain ever B Robson = heap of sh**e S Naismith = without refs help, nothing S Whittaker = garbage left back C LEVEIN = Garbage international manager K Black = what exactly does he do Considering he was under pressure for the entire match and had to deal with Rosicky a few times with the exception of about 2 or 3 fouls I thought Whittaker was one of the better players tonight.

JamboJen Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 Darren Fletcher is absolutely atrocious in a Scotland shirt. It's a shame since he's clearly a very good footballer at Man Utd and gets asked to do things in a Scotland shirt which aren't his regular game but that still doesn't excuse his lack of basic skills in a Scotland shirt.

Hearts Machine Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 Levein has surrounded himself with yes men, none of whom (just like himself) have any experience of management in European football. Craven cowardice tonight. He deserves all that is coming his way from the press. There will be loads coming his way. Terrible tactics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Francis Albert Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 Got exactly what we deserved. You have to wonder what is the point of playing football like we did tonight. Ok you might get lucky and extend your slim hopes of qualifying. But we have always and will always play a lot more qualifying games than we will ever play in finals. Why not at least try to enjoy them?

The Puppeteer Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 Shocking, absolutely shocking tactics - the team selection wasn't all that bad but when they're asked to play like that there's only one result. I actually can't remember seeing any team ever play without a forward - ever. How the **** are you supposed to take anything from a match without attacking? We deserve better. The squad actually deserves better because they're far better than that. Listening to Paul Hartley you could tell he's not impressed with Levein in the slightest and unless there's a drastic turn around against Spain Levein should be done away with.

He might be buying in to them, but he doesn't seem to be able to carry them out half as well as Smith's teams have done. I also don't think man yoo or France away can be compared to playing a poor Czech team as a time when you'd play very defensively. He also didn't have anyone up front for them to aim at and relieve some pressure. He may have been trying to copy the huns at old trafford, but the team didn't look half as organized tonight as smith had the huns playing. I just don't understand what Levein was thinking with the formation, it's not even one the players are familiar with. Why not just play 4-5-1?

Big D Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 He contributed nothing. Didn't think the referee was great but he was unbiasedly ordinary. Isn't it extraordinary how players like Naismith and Whittaker struggled under these circumstances. When Stein said Sellic when given 2 options will always sign the prod, do Rangers sign players who may not be more skillful but can be taught to cheat without getting punished, (in Scotland).

hearts_crazy Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 Fletcher's passing has let him down on a few occasions tonight No shit Sherlock. Fletcher gives NOTHING to Scotland, and he's not the only one in that team that would be better just staying at home That formation was probably the stupidest most boring formation ever shat upon World football. When the commentator said at the start 'it's what we're told is a 4-6 formation' I was half expecting to see Levien in the background, being led away in a strait jacket. Never heard of anything so ridiculous in my life. What the **** is wrong with a 4-5-1 if you want to play defensive, leave KENNY ******* MILLER up top so that when the stupid morons hoof the ball up the pitch at least there's someone up there to get the ball. No ******* brainer I would have thought. But seriously how ******* thick are our players, even though they know we are playing with no-one up front (see how ridiculous that sounds Levein?) they still kept hoofing the ball up the pitch. If we play with a similar set up on Tuesday we will get absolutely horsed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coco Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 Strachan plays similar football to Levein (maybe not to the nth degree.) Strachan had an extremely successful record in European football. Levein has very little other than a decent result away in Bordeaux and a good result against Braga. His club record is mediocre and he has basically no European football record. That's why he shouldn't have got the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Future's Maroon Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 As I said to folk before the game....I would be ******* fuming if I had shelled out hundreds of pounds to go and watch that...infact I would be asking for my money back - those fans work hard for their money and get served up that sh*t...every single footsoldier was cheated and conned tonight - they should all at least get into the Spain game for free. Credit to them they still sung their hearts out - but ultimately they were let down....not by the players, but the manager. It actually showed in the last 15mins that we should have played a 4-4-2 or even just a 4-5-1....they were not good...infact they were very shaky at the back. What makes it worse is we play Spain on Tuesday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamboinglasgow Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 If he wasn't a Judas prick Smith. I can't think of any other Scottish managers that are good enough that would take it. Thats my point, it is wrong to say Levein should never got the job, he needs to change from being too-cautious, but the sad thing is Scottish football has created a situation that we need to be defensive to compete with teams who may not be larger then us but are more technical. I want Levein to work, I think he has a lot to bring to the wider job and ideas that will help Scottish football as a whole, problem is he needs to change the tactics. Just chucking him away fails to solve the larger problems and distracts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
