and between the two of them they couldn't cope with a basic run-in between the two of them and I thought that was really poor at this level so ultimately that you get punished at this level because the boys side barry's been courted by Bayern Munich and then ultimately that's what cost you the game that that moment and uh but anyway listen I think there's a lot of positives to take to the game and I think Steve Platt will go into this game in the next couple of days thinking right okay we go again

Yeah, listen, actually, as the half was wearing on, so if you take the first 15 minutes, I think, this is actually quite impressive.

So then, obviously, there's a change with Tierney coming off, Doak comes on in the hour mark, and then he waits another 10 minutes, and then he throws on Lyndon Dykes,

They mix it up a little bit for the last 20 minutes.

And then Kenny McLean come on for Christie.

I thought Kenny McLean done okay in the middle of the park as well.

So then, as you rightly said, Dazzler, they end up bringing on Ross Stewart to try and kind of scramble injury time really the last couple of minutes.

So I think the... I think the...

incremental changes you know through that the time for the hour mark onwards was right i thought he was trying to chase the equalizer uh and he had a goal and i and i thought over the piece they huffed and puffed without really creating any real chances the big chance for us was the pen

because you're just looking for a moment whether it's a deflection whether it's a penalty whether it's a set play you're just looking for them because you're up against a real top quality opposition and for me to miss that opportunity for the referee and then the VAR team to look at that I'd be fascinated to see where they go with this because I think there should be an outcry on this from people in the game because it's as clear cut a penalty as you're going to see

Yeah, listen, I think we're still an opportunity.

I think if you can cut out that mistake that they made tonight because it was crucial when they end up in the final result.

So if they can...

show up the back and limit Brazil to you know few chances as possible then you very much have a chance and the biggest concern and I think that's had the nail on the head there is the chances at the other end you know we didn't really create too much at all tonight

other than the penalty opportunity the odd wee shot from the edge of the box and you're just looking for that little bit of magic from someone and I thought Ben Doakes when he came on I think he brings something slightly different to the others so whether he comes into the reckoning because obviously I don't expect to see Tierney on the left hand side come the Brazil game so and maybe I'll pose a question you maybe get one more offensive player in there to try and create something the top end does

Yeah, they'll be going down there in their last numbers, over 30,000 there tonight, Andrew.

And, you know, they've waited such a long time, they'll go down there.

And I think it'll be a great spectacle as well.

You know, the Brazil fans are kind of...

famous for their party atmosphere and they'll be expecting to try and get the three points and kick on also but I look at Brazil and as much as I didn't quite see a team spirit as well as Morocco on the night when they both played I've seen individual brilliance at times from the Brazilians and I think they're capable of doing that so we're going to have to defend manfully we're going to have to have players at the top end of the game and we're going to have to try and carry a threat because you would imagine that Brazil would score
