ian1964 10,761 Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 Have to disagree. Scotland do have quality especially in midfield. What we need is a manager who can kick some butt when needed and pick an XI who actually merit their place. Tactics come into it also but I have to disagree with your comment Ian about how we can only win by playing "anti-football". Results prove otherwise,under WS & Eck, were hard to break down,stifled the opposition then sneaked a goal 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ian1964 10,761 Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 There's been more than 2 previous managers for Scotland. When was the last time a Scotland team went out and outplayed the opposition and were successful ? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazza_8 233 Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 San Marino, Faroe Isles I'm not saying we've ever been able to outplay the likes of Holland or Italy or England but there's been times with previous managers we've given it a good go. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't remember them tbh, all I seem to remember is Scotland being hard to beat at best.

What's to say when another manager comes in his strength is to go out and attack the opposition. If it works, he'll be hailed a hero! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnyk 158 Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 Again.......we don't have the quality,IMO. we certainly don't have the quality and need to play to our strengths which is to make it hard for teams to beat us as in anti football and take any chances which may fall our way. i'd rather see that than get humped by the likes of Norway 4-0.......... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Burley keeps playing Caldwell and Caldwell at the back for us with Alexander sitting teams will walk through us no matter what formation we play. Personally, I think it's the manager that makes a team successful or not for example, O'Nell at Leicester. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I think it's the manager that makes a team successful or not for example, O'Nell at Leicester. maybe i was a bit biased but i actually made an effort to wacth the games under Smith and McLeish mainly as I thought we had a chance of winning games and knew how we would play which was firstly make it hard for teams to beat us. now under burley if it's on when I am around i'll watch it, if i've got something better to do I won't as I don't like him, what he says and some of his squad and team selections have been poor as have the tactics, it's embarrassing to watch at times....... I look forward to seeing someone who has a clue hopefully in charge soon....... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
