But typical Clarke, dogged and light on flair Paterson not experienced enough ,The lack of experience wouldn’t be an issue of course if he was playing for Separate Entity Fc Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be very surprised to see that change - Clarke tends to be very dogged in his selection and clearly sees this as his best defence. Likely Jack and McGregor just ahead. It'll get results, just won't be very pretty to watch i agree clarke is very dogged but that is just stupid the midfiels should be jack mc tominay and mcgregor dont know about getting results i used to watch scotland everywhere world cup 1990 european championship 1992 now although i will watch games i could not give 2 fucks about them TamCoopz 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluenoz 31,087 Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Nat Patterson & Aaron Hickey (he can play RB) are far superior to O'Donnell & Palmer. Age and experience shouldn't come into it. McTominay is having an outstanding year at Man U as a MIDFIELDER. Only Scotland would play him out of position. Don't know where to start with a goalscorer. We simply haven't had one in decades.

Only Scotland would play him out of position. But who would you play instead of McTominay? As much as he's a better midfielder, Clarke has stopped Scotland shipping goals and has made them look a more cohesive unit, and part of that has been the back three and two wingbacks - not dissimilar to the way he set out his team at Kilmarnock. McTominay, after a shaky start, has actually looked pretty good back there - and the experience probably helps his overall game, given he plays the defensive holding role for Man Utd. It's not club football, you can't go out and sign a decent replacement and we have far more serviceable midfielders, but not so many decent defenders - so I can understand the logic, if it works. Getting to the Euro's is probably proof that it works better than anything we have recently tried?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand there is an abundance of good midfielders but I son't like to see players shoe-horned. Mctominay is a midfield player. Just like he does with Tierney and Robertson when both are fit.

One ends up playing centre half! I absolutely agree, Clarke definitely sets up not to lose - if he gets the odd win, then it can lead to qualification (which he's done with the Euro's). I think it's where Scotland are at the moment, given they lack any credible option up front and we're much the same way in central defence. Really not too bothered about players playing out of position at international level, as long as they're not one of our players, especially if it leads to a certain level of success (which I would set the bar at as qualification for tournaments). As for Scotland being shite - I doubt you would get much of an argument Fromm anyone, but being Scottish, it's who I support at International level, so much like Rangers, it's not really an option to go in search of another team P.S I know you were bored of the subject, but I'm trying to avoid doing work at the moment - so thought I would reply anyway!!
