Not actually all that bad a squad. Other than Mulgrew.

[GlezgaRed]

Surprised to see no Ryan Rat and only one from Sevco ?

 

Shinnie left back with Robertson in front of him ?

[V for Vendetta]

Really lacking up front that squad.

 

We just don't have the strikers to pick from.

[BWG]

Because Strachan was an egotistical cunt. Him and McGhee blatantly had an agenda against Aberdeen players.

 

Edit - wrong quote. Replying to millerman.

[boboisared]

Hun fans raging that Hendry is in and Jack isn't.

 

1) they play different positions.

 

2) who would they take out for Jack?

[Donnet]

Against Albania I would go:

 

                   Gordon

Paterson Souttar Tierney Robertson

    Armstrong McGinn Shinnie

Fraser        McGregor

                  Griffiths     

 

Robertson bombing on to provide the width on the left, Tierney covers him defensively.  

[Byrne Baby Byrne]

Decent squad. No complaints. Disappointed Ryan Jack isnt there, because I was looking forward to having something to complain about

 

Shame McKenna is missing this. Would have fancied him to make some starts

[Ke1t]

I'd have Stevie May up front... "he's ready to explode" (Craig Brown)

 

I would, though.

Non-Scot watch: 5

What squad has been the highest of these?

[dave_min]

Buzzing for some Rochefort 10 on Friday night.

[Sonoftherock]

Delighted that Ryan Jack isn't included.  I couldn't cheer any team he represented.

 

Looks like he's competing for a place in the squad with McTominay and McDonald.  Not sure McTominay has played yet this season - so the rat could probably feel disappointed.  In fairness to the scumbag, he's been outstanding when I've seen him this season.

 

Jack Hendry though...     Other than that, not a lot to complain about...

[Sonoftherock]

Just to add... hopefully Ryan Fraser gets a chance to start.  Although I'm aware stats are like mini-skirts, he's putting up some big numbers for Bournemouth this season.

[Byrne Baby Byrne]

I would also like to add its fantastic to see Ryan Christie losing his place. 

[Sonoftherock]

...and Matt Ritchie.  Looks so good for Newcastle, but has never turned up for Scotland.

Off the top of my head, 9 I think.

Like disappearing in the 2nd-half yesterday when things got tough?

 

Fuck him and all that's sailed in him.

Mate of mine was at the game Saturday (Everton fan) said Fraser was outstanding and he's take him ahead of walcott, bolasie, lookman et al.

                   Gordon

Paterson Souttar Tierney Robertson

    Armstrong McGinn Shinnie

Fraser        McGregor

                  Griffiths

from what he said the other week I think the manager is going to play a back 3 with Tierney the left sided one, So I suspect Mulgrew will be in the centre. This is what I predict will be the team as oppose to who I would choose if it was my choice.  

                

                       Gordon

 

         Souttar  Mulgrew Tierney

 

Paterson McDonald McGinn Robertson

 

          Armstrong     McGregor

 

                     Griffiths

Couldn't get too upset with that. 

 

A few of the young players have said Mulgrew has been brilliant for them, talking them through games etc. Don't rate him to highly but it's maybe a means to an end.

I'd find a place for Fraser.  Armstrong has hardly played and McGregor has been flat, like the rest of the Celtic's midfield this season.  Could maybe have him in there ahead of Paterson... Fraser doesn't offer much defensively, but neither does Paterson if you are brutally honest.

 

Souttar I feel will get found out at international level (I also think he'll get found out if he gets a move away from Hearts).  He's improved for Hearts, but it's taken a lot of time, and there have been plenty of tears along the way.  Very difficult when the other option is Hendry, who shouldn't be near the squad... Scotland probably needs McKenna back quicker than Aberdeen do.

[V for Vendetta]

Yep, get Fraser in and play 2 up front.

 

My new favourite formation maybe ..

 

3-1-4-2

Gordon

Paterson McDonald McGinn Robertson

 

Armstrong McGregor

 

Griffiths

Far too dependent on Tims not withdrawing when they’re deciding if they can be arsed or not.

 

Edit: Good team tho.

[fine-n-dandy]

How is Kenny McLean out of the squad? Is he injured?

[DelMonte]

Hun fans raging that Hendry is in and Jack isn't.

 

1) they play different positions.

 

2) who would they take out for Jack?

Shinnie if you're being realistic.

[Chewie37]

On current form, I think GMS should be in the squad.  He has had an excellent start to the season.  Similarly Devlin should be in ahead of Jack hendry, not sure why he is there at all to be honest. Has McTominay actually played for Man United this season?  Delighted to see that the only sevco addition is the 3rd choice goalkeeper.

 

It's Scotland, we don't pick players on current form......it takes ages for players to be considered out with the current favourites and by the time we pick them they've gone off the boil

[mcdougall(4)]

Shinnie if you're being realistic.

 

doesn't offer the versatility 

[Don Fonte]

Like disappearing in the 2nd-half yesterday when things got tough?

 

Fuck him and all that's sailed in him.

Amen. Everyone getting caught up in this shit he's playing well every week. Bit of pressure and he's lost. And he's a hun. And a prick. Fuck him.

[dave_min]

How versatile do you need to be on the bench?
