We really need a win on Sunday though. As much as I was a wee bit disappointed with a draw last night, not losing was massive. As I think it was FS said earlier, that really could’ve spelled party over after the first game (daft as that sounds). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I've mentioned, we always struggle against them, not saying they are mugs but we have to look to beat them if we really fancy our chances of qualifying.

Yes I think it’s more of a bogey team scenario. They don’t take tankings but most other team of our standing seem to be able to take care of them (with one or two odd exceptions). Their style of play doesn’t suit us at all. They get men behind the ball and make it difficult and we perennially struggle to break teams like that. What they also have though (unlike most of the other “smaller” teams) is a couple of players who can really hurt you on the break. In most of the games against them that we have struggled in, we have pretty much dominated the game only to get rope a doped at some point. Scott McTominay’s post match interview said it all.

He speaks very well indeed. There's our future Scotland captain right there. Love the attitude and the confidence. We should not fear anyone because like he said, we have players in our squad playing at the highest level in the game. The belief within the team now compared to what it was when Clarke took over is like night and day. He's also right about Israel. Stop worrying about what they can do to us and go and take them apart. That should be the attitude from the first minute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stop worrying about what they can do to us and go and take them apart. That should be the attitude from the first minute. I would suggest we have half a team who are playing in the English Premiership. (Tierney, Robertson, McGinn, McTominay & Armstrong as you won't have a clue) The rest, hardly. We had the same players before Clarke took over, that didn't go too well. You have a point about Clarke as, IMO, it's down to the manager, IMO, who, like all good managers, gets the best from what he has at his disposal. As for taking Israel apart, I'll assume you don't have a clue, again, how they have performed over the last. let's say, couple of years? They've had one tonking, (4-0 away to Poland) another 2 matches they've lost by 2 goals, including Thursdays result against Denmark, and the other defeats are by the odd goal. They don't win too many games but they, as @TPAFKA Jersey 2 has indicated, are well organised with a couple of players who can turn the game and, as you don't believe that the past can influence the future ,you won't see anything to worry about as we ALWAYS struggle against them. Last 2 and a bit years we've played them and we've only managed to beat them ONCE over 90 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faraway saint Posted March 28, 2021 Report Share Posted March 28, 2021 Israel 19/10, Scotland 31/20 and the draw 21/10 Seems the bookies see his as a "heads or tails" game, same as me. I don't think we'll lose but can we win? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint@Johnstone Posted March 28, 2021 Report Share Posted March 28, 2021 Radio pundits and Clarke not accepting this is a game Scotland has to win. Bad record against this team so we need to change that. Didn’t even bother to watch the highlights the other night but hope we can win. Unfortunately, like Saints, nothing up front so suspect a draw at best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think we'll lose but can we win? I wouldn’t normally say this ahead of a game against Israel, but I think we will win tonight. I even think there is a small chance we might win reasonably comfortably. Particularly IF we can get off the mark quite early. I’m basing this on the hope that after so many games, Clarke will have worked out how to beat a team that with the best will in the world we ought to be beating. This and the fact that I feel we not only have some really good players now, but more importantly on form good players. Here’s hoping.

Callum Gilhooley Posted March 28, 2021 Report Share Posted March 28, 2021 (edited) Gonna be a difficult away game , Israel will be hurting after losing to the Danes and stating the obvious ,we really need to be at the top of our game.

faraway saint Posted March 28, 2021 Report Share Posted March 28, 2021 Starting XI: Marshall; Hendry, Hanley, Tierney; O'Donnell, McTominay, McGregor, McGinn, Robertson; Fraser, Adams. I'm pretty happy with Adams and Fraser, more goals in them than Dykes IMO. Dykes has done a great job but doesn't really look like he'll score many. Time will tell.

faraway saint Posted March 28, 2021 Report Share Posted March 28, 2021 Fraser started well, finding space on the left, good delivery, just need someone on the end of it. McTominay missed a great chance earlier with a header. So far, pretty even IMO,. 0-0, 22 mins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oaksoft Posted March 28, 2021 Report Share Posted March 28, 2021 Why the f**k are we playing with 5 at the back and no width in midfield? This is absolutely awful to watch. We're not even pretending to compete here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
