McKenna man of the match against in a play off final should start ahead of Cooper who hasn't played much. Christy should have started to allow Dykes to come off bench when needed. Gilmour lost confidence in his Norwich loan. Yep, Clarke got it wrong from the offset should have been a 4-5-1 from the offset against a team like Ukraine. We were driven back to a 5-3-2 from early on and never got enough control or grip of the game from the offset. Fairplay to the Ukrainian players and their manager though who exploited our set up and weaknesses. I would expect them to beat Wales based on that performance although Wales might be better prepared after watching tonights shambles. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can be looked at in many ways but at the end of the day the players didn't perform. He, Clarke, changed things at half time but we were 2-0 down before we knew it so he had to see how things went before changing things again. Ukraine are more than decent but I agree we were poor over the 90 minutes. Only threatened in the last 20, missed a sitter and scored a fortunate goal. Just disappointed we didn't play as well as we have in the last 18 months or so. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rascal Posted June 2, 2022 Report Share Posted June 2, 2022 Summary. Beaten on the night by a better organised, prepared and more motivated team. Set up was wrong as well as tactics. Underperformance by a number of players on the night. Gordon and MacGregor excepted. I would say that the change in set up and substitutes in the second half led to an improvement and at least / last we started creating chances. Despite that they scored two in the second half compared to our one. A bad day at the office for the Scotland Manager and Players. The worst thing is that the 3 - 1 Final Score flatters us. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the media's fawning, mawkish coverage of the Ukrainian team, I genuinely wouldn't be surprised if some players felt that they shouldn't try too hard - even if it was subliminal. The BBC commentator was saying towards the end that he anticipated more urgency from the Scotland side. Cymru am Byth. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technically the Ukrainian team are far superior. They are higher up the rankings and deservedly so. Our team selection and tactics can be questioned but they are still a better team than Scotland. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rascal Posted June 2, 2022 Report Share Posted June 2, 2022 Armenia are , I believe, ranked 92 in the world rankings. A very different level of opposition to Ukraine. Not saying that it will be easy but it gives us a chance to get back on track. Scotland to win 3-0. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

faraway saint Posted June 2, 2022 Report Share Posted June 2, 2022 Just about over last night's disappointment. A shame to go out playing way below our best. If we'd played really well and lost I'd have been OK but the manner in which we went out leaves a bad taste. Suppose McGinn can't do much about the shape of his heid. 😉 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
