jamboman Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 I'm hoping Strachan gives some young players a game against Canada. I would like to see a team like this. 4-4-2. Gordon Hutton (no paterson) Souttar Berra Tierney Burke MacArthur McGinn Mckay Griffiths Naismith With the likes of: Ryan Fraser Liam Lindsay Jack Hamilton Matt Phillips All getting on at some time Good balance of young and experienced.

hannibal smith Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Souttar isn't ready for international football and Jack Hamilton is never going to be ready for international football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McDange Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 I would like to see as close to a full team as possible. This game is a warm up for Slovenia, not a development game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captain Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 These guys will get their chance eventually but this game should be about preparation for Slovenia, gathering a bit of confidence and dragging the feel good factor back ever so slightly from the depths of despair.

Not a fan of doing that but if there's ever a place to try it, it's here. Who knows, he might be perfectly comfortable there. With him at RB and Robertson (and a million others) at LB that'd be us sorted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parklife Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Strachan will do what he does every friendly - play the same old faces, in the same old system and neglect to try anything new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This should be the strongest team that's likely to start against Slovenia. No point trying new players and tactics if that's not the game plan on the Sunday.

ErsatzThistle Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 I think he'll bring in Whittaker for right back for both the friendly and the qualifier. Don't think Brown will be back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamboman Posted January 24, 2017 Author Share Posted January 24, 2017 Its a warm up but slovenia will be much much different. We should have warmed up against a better team. Like Romania or something At least we can get some of these guys on for the second half Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PASTA Mick Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 GK - any one of the 3 RB - Anya CB - Martin CB - Mulgrew LB - Robertson or Teirney CM - Brown, Fletcher or Morrison CM - McArthur or Armstrong RW - Phillips, Ritchie or Forrest AM - Snodgrass LW - Fraser CF - Burke Give Burke and Fraser a chance to impress and keep their place for the Slovenia match. If it doesn't work, we can always fall back on Chris Martin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a good team although i would pick Mcarthur and Armstrong and not worry about the other 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LewisEDI Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 no idea why people keep talking about playing burke as our main striker, he has never played there for this clubs or for us, now isn't the time to play a 19 year old out of position Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have oodles of options for the three in behind, but no one striker better than meh, so although he's an unknown as a cf, he is huge, fast and a direct threat. A gamble but not a totally insane one imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said I would be happy with Griffiths ST with Burke and Snodgrass as CAM's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being said, he would most likely be more of an attacking and goalscoring threat than Chris Martin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debian Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Some of these team choices are honking. And, I thought that Ginger c**t Strachan was bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GordyA88 Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Strachan will no doubt play the players we all want to see against Canada and then revert back to his usual choices against Slovenia. I know this is the Canada team thread but it's all about the Sunday. My team for that would be Gordon Whittaker Martin Berra Robertson Fletcher McArthur (Or maybe Charlie Adam) Burke Phillips Fraser Snodgrass Play Snodgrass up top because for me he has been shocking the last 3 games ( for us ) and he's no pace. Decent touch so can hold it into feet. The 3 in behind have pace and they can go over the top if needs be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tartanmartin Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 McGinn will start in an effort to shift unsold tickets to the locals. expect that to be announced in the build up to the match that week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
