girvanTA Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 If Rooney, Joe Hart and Cahill played for Lithuania, I would still be looking to beat them 3-0. Nothing but 3 points for Scotland here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moscow & 1 year as a manager in Lithuania where they didnt win anything. Had 6 games as national manager so not experienced or successful Star Players - One player at a big club a young striker at Sporting in POR appears to be injured and only joined them in the summer and hasn't played for them yet so nothing substanial there. The rest of the players none at big European teams. Goals wise has two strikers one scored 6 goals and one 5 not at big teams and also scored against weak international opposition Recent Form - Last 6 games W 1, D 2, L3. Beat Estonia not a great team. Last qualifying campaign only won 3 games San Marino twice and Estonia. Only scored 7 goals from 10 games. Not much above to be too concerned about They play a sort of 5-3-1-1, staying deep but usually offer a threat on the counter. The captain Fiodor Cernych is the talisman of the team if you like, he plays in the Polish league but tends to play above himself at international level, he scored an excellent goal against Slovenia. They have a new generation of younger players coming through like Spalvis (the Sporting player) but a number of older heads in the squad too. The 24 team Euros format has opened up an avenue of hope for them, and they'll be looking to build towards Euro 2020. They are a ''stodgy'' team with a real ability to sucker punch sides, I watched the 90 mins v Slovenia and they were incredibly unfortunate not to win (94th minute equalizer). They tend to be susceptible against real pace and power, which is something they lack in the squad. Lithuania are a competent and dangerous side, but I remain hopeful we'll pick up the 3 points.
