aberdeen1970 Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 He looks better with Hoban alongside him. A spell playing alongside Hoban would be good for him but I suspect he'll be off at the first acceptable offer. Link to comment

If I remember correctly I think Brazil played that in 2002. Which makes Jonny Hayes Roberto Carlos. Link to comment
aberdeen1970 Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 They did indeed. Ronaldinho and Rivaldo in the 2 behind Ronaldo. Some front three that. Link to comment

Tord31 Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 I'm hoping it's a three at the back with McKenna in the middle. It gives him big game experience of playing the role which he has filled for a few recent matches for us. Suits us if we are thinking of using that system often and its likely Consi would be left side. Link to comment
V for Vendetta Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 I'm not convinced that suits the players Scotland have. our best full backs (both left sided sadly) are both suited as attacking full backs that overlap, which I don't think always makes them good wing backs tbh last time we used Robertson as a wing back he was pretty crap Link to comment

He's no worse than he was when he broke into the side. Link to comment
Zander1903 Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 looks better paying with Hoban did he not do the same with Anderson? maybe need someone solid next to him Link to comment

Zander1903 Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 Andersons 2nd spell, Diamond was never good pretty sure it was Anderson & Reynolds with the later being dropped gave McKenna his chance Link to comment

One left back, one left midfield, but tell them they have the freedom to swap / exchange with each other Link to comment

Robertson is better with an inverted winger/attacking mid in front of him, take that away and being an overlapping full back doesn't really work too well. pick on at left full back and the other right full back / or CB. 1 Link to comment

Trying in one game doesn't mean its necessarily a flawed plan. I think both could easily adapt to taking it in turns to overlap and confusing the opposition Link to comment
