wanderer Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Hutton has been sent back to Villa due to injury, so looks like the back 4 from the Malta game will not change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BraveheartGordon Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 --------------Marshall----------------- Paterson--Martin--Berra---Robertson -----------Fletcher-----Bannan---------- Snodgrass-----Burke-------Ritchie -----------S.Fletcher--------------- Â I think he'll start Robertson v Lithuania and Tierney v Slovakia for his defensive ability.

ParisInAKilt Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Surprised to see Bannan not make some people's starting 11, think this is the type of game his range of passing is needed. Otherwise no unnecessary changes. McArthur plays regularly for Palace but I'd go with Fletcher instead. I like Tierney a lot so wouldn't be too upset if he started ahead of Robertson. Snodgrass is more effective through the middle.

PASTA Mick Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 There are a few positions that I wouldn't be too bothered which option we go for - GK. Gordon / Marshall RB. Patterson CB. Martin CB. Hanley / Berra LB. Robertson / Tierney CM. Fletcher / McArthur CM. Bannan RM. Forrest / Burke AM. Snodgrass LM. Ritchie CM. Griffiths / Fletcher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noctonjock Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 The OP didnt have Darren Fketcher in their team . There.s no way Strachan wont pick his captain . Same team as Malta for me with Steven Fletcher maybe starting uo front instaed of Chris Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bino's Posted October 3, 2016 Author Share Posted October 3, 2016 McArthur is better than Darren Fletcher and should be in the team ahead of him, Bannan should partner him for creativity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Â ----------------------Marshall-------------------- Paterson---R Martin---Hanley---Tierney ---------------McArthur--Fletcher------------ Burke----------Snodgrass---------Ritchie -------------------S Fletcher------------------- I've changed my opinion from last week. If Hanley is replaced by Berra I can live with that. Tierney playing in champions league trumps premiership despite sky brainwashing. I love Naismith but he's surprisingly not been a starter for Norwich recently as has Griffiths. Both very unfortunate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love Naismith but he's surprisingly not been a starter for Norwich recently as has Griffiths. Both very unfortunate. Tierney has played a grand total of two CL matches, in both he looked weak defensively. It was against two of Europes better sides so I won't be too critical. The point is Robertson is playing a higher standard of football every week whilst Tierney has only played in two games. using your logic we should be starting every  Scottish Celtic player when they play in the CL. The three of them deserve to be in the squad, of the three I'd only start Griffiths but even he is struggling for game time at the moment.

He's played 13 games in total this season, scoring 5 goals. He's more than sharp enough to play and deserves to keep his spot IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
podgers1903 Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Being an Aberdeen fan it pains me to say this but Griffiths must start. He bangs in goals for fun. How many goals has Fletcher scored this season? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me Fletcher starts only cause Griffiths is just back from an injury Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shed_Tartan_Army_Yeah Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 I like Bannan and think he should be playing more than he does, but unfortunately for him McArthur is in great form and scoring from centre mid,  and Fletcher is the captain and if fit- he will get picked. He could play along with this 2 ^, Snodgrass, Ritchie and a forward (Fletcher probably), but I think we should be going more positive than that against Lithuania at home. Would maybe be better using him as a sub and keeping Fletcher or McArthur fresher for Slovakia.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LewisEDI Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Marshall Paterson Martin Berra Tierney      Bannan Fletcher Burke    Snodgrass   Ritchie          Fletcher  Griffiths on for fletcher if we still haven't scored at 60mins and forrest on for Ritchie for a bit of pace later. Lithuanian manager has been saying how his team struggle for fitness at the end of games (like their match against against slovenia) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
