weeyin Posted June 7 Report Share Posted June 7 Clarke initially did the job that was needing done. He took an omnishambles of a national team and consolidated it into one that was difficult to beat and, most importantly, one that the players wanted to be involved with. And I give him credit for that. He did well to get us to the first Euros, but his tactics were an embarrassment in that tourney. The second Euros were even worse, because not only had he not learned anything, but he actually went backwards. That was when he should have been moved on. Friendlies and injuries aside, the national squad actually has some decent players available now. There were EPL, Champions League, Seria A, Coppa Italia and Austrian Bundesliga winners on the pitch last night that should have been able to play some football. We are crying out for a manager with a bit more creativity and tactical nous, otherwise we are destined to be one of the few teams who fails to quailfy for the new 322 country World Cup finals.

robsterwood Posted June 7 Report Share Posted June 7 I think Gilmour is vastly over rated. Miller came on and made more passes in forward areas. He's been mainly sub at Napoli. Lightweight and doesn't offer much goin forward. Ferguson not much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotland were shite last night, but Gilmour was one of the few actually trying to effect the game and play forward passes. If McTominay, McGinn and Ferguson had been anywhere near his level we wouldnt have ended up in the shit we found ourselves. You dont get Antonio Conte signing you unless you have something about you and his lack of game time was down to the fact Napoli have Lobotka who is an outstanding player. Thought Lennon did very well when he came on and didnt look out of place at all. The experience would have done him the world of good. Be nice if he got a start on Monday but I dont really see it happening. Re Ferguson, for someone playing at such a high level, Ive yet to see evidence of it in a Scotland shirt. Although, Im not really sure what he is being asked to do by Clarke? The game largely passed him by last night and he rarely showed for the ball. Very strange. Thought Max did well enough in the circumstances. Hopefully he and Lennon will get better chances to shine going forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mfc Posted June 7 Report Share Posted June 7 There was nothing to be gained last night by playing the likes of mcginn and gilmour,we all know what they can offer.its a friendly at home to Iceland and the manager doesn't have the balls to move away from a team selection that's hardly won a game in about 2 years.hes a safety first manager that's only legacy will be finding eligible forwards that all turn out to be shite.if we have any ambitions of qualifying for the next tournament then he can't be in charge,he's a dinosaur that doesn't even have a plan a.no wonder the game in this country is a laughing stock and won't ever get above the mediocre with clarke and carver in charge and then you see the likes of Pressley and kettlewell getting jobs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weeyin Posted June 7 Report Share Posted June 7 I'm not sure Antonio Conte has been so successful by overrating players; even Billy Gilmour (who made 26 league appearances for him on the way to the league title). Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was one of the only bright sparks when he came on the other night, so naturally I assumed that Clarke would still not start him. Good to see he's actually playing players that deserve it over the same old same old. He must be desperate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spit_It_Out Posted June 9 Report Share Posted June 9 He is telling players to give him the ball all the time he is on cruise control right now. Just so comfortable looks like its his 50th cap never mind his first start and 2nd appearance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delighted he was able reproduce his quality and range of passing. Must be worth at least another half mill after that. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twistandshout1983 Posted June 9 Report Share Posted June 9 Just the type of player Scotland have been needing , albeit against not the best of teams but who cares Faddy was very complimentary towards Lennon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joewarkfanclub Posted June 9 Report Share Posted June 9 Played well tonight. Did all the simple things well and was always available for the ball. His team mates will eventually learn to trust him more than they did tonight. There were a few "just wow" moments as well. One pass to McGinn in the first half and a wee flick and turn in the second half that I still dont know how he pulled it off as the tv didnt show it again, but it was Zidane level of ridiculous. The boy is going to the top. Let the bidding commence....... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd probably have to give mom to Adams for scoring a hat trick but Lennon Miller was every bit as good as anyone else in the team.....and totally outshone Lewis Ferguson. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
