That said, I’d agree with you that Mr Safetyfirst would play Naeneck over our boy. He’s bound to go for the flasher’s experience over NP’s potential.

Popular Post BlueSuedeSambas 53,539 Posted June 14, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 14, 2021 Clarke just made a rip roaring cunt of it tbh. That was Scotland’s most winnable game, and one win would probably have been enough to get them out of the group stage. Playing at home, in front of what was a relatively loud crowd considering the reduced capacity, first tournament in years and he decides that starting defensively is the way to go? The team didn’t surprise me when it was announced but the first team to score today were always going to be the likely winners so why not treat it like a one off game, and go for it early on. Play a couple more attack minded players and attempt to get an early goal while the crowd are behind you and then make your defensive changes when you have something to hold on to? I would say it’s baffling, but he just shat the bed. Hadron Collider, Fred H Crawford, SteveEarle and 10 others 13 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Colin Traive 22,406 Posted June 14, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 14, 2021 Said last week that Clarke would be defined by his approach in this opening (and least difficult imo) match. Go for the win, show courage, have a right go - play Gilmour, Patterson, Adams OR Play safe, tried and tested etc, basically shite the bed - O’Fucking Donnell, Christie etc Just proved he’s a complete bottle merchant. When Biscuit Hips got injured again, a positive manager thinks “right, let’s play a back four, catch them off guard, turn it to our advantage, get Robertson doing what he does best on one side, press Patterson forward a la Hutton on the other, play Gilmour as your quarterback and that extra man you’ve now got because you only need two centre-backs? Right, let’s play Nisbet just behind Adams to pick up scraps...” What a wasted opportunity. Hadron Collider, HG5, blaudrup and 3 others 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was so far off his line you’d fancy Schick to have beaten him in a one on one before he’d ever gotten set from backpedaling.
