Caledonian Craig Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Line-up is:-   Marshall, Paterson, Martin, Hanley, Tierney, D Fletcher, McArthur, Bannan, Snodgrass, Ritchie, S Fletcher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fairbairn Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Three players were sent back to their teams after being told they wouldn't feature tonight. McKay and Naismith were 2 of them, looks like Burke was the other which is a very strange decision if that's the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParisInAKilt Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Midfield is very slow. Will need Tierney and Paterson to get forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

runningtings Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Does this mean we are playing Bannan further forward in the 10 position? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

runningtings Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Ritchie might be better in the middle as he has no pace or trickery to get by anyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a classic Strachan team with little emphasis on attack, fluidity and freedom but heavy on a rigid structure where we hope something will happen rather than making it happen.

Hendricks Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Have to say that unless Robertson has a bad knock (but is stripped so....?) that is a quite incredible decision. Without any question was our MOM on Saturday. I actually rate Tierney highly and think he did really well in the Man City game but why change one of the few things that actually worked well. Surely has to be an injury. In the 2nd half in particular the 2 full backs were both our best outlet and most likely creative influence.  I also dearly hope he proves me wrong but for me Darren Fletcher wasn't at the races on Saturday and we will see less of the ball tonight. Been a big fan over the years at how solid a player and professional he is but he looked like a guy who was well past his best. As I say, hope to be proved wrong on that one but I have serious concerns about our midfield going into this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Formation to me looks like a 4-5-1, without the ball and a 4-3-3 with it, with (hopefully) the full backs pushing on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
munro7 Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Ritchie's too slow for a counter attacking style of play. Anya would have been a far better option. Can't understand Burke not even being on the bench, strange one. Fair enough if Robertson is injured but I think it's a bit of a myth that Tierney's better defensively. Robertson plays against far better players week in week out and has a fair bit of defending to do. Out with Europe Tierney's playing for a side that has very little defending to do. Fingers crossed though, a win tonight would be huge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

islayscot Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Smacks of 451. Slovakia will have most of the ball and play high up the pitch, so surely play some pace to hit them fast we have the ball? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

munro7 Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 I thought Fletcher was fine on Saturday. Always available to take the ball and looking for options. The problem he and Bannan had was a complete lack of movement in front of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
