came to Scotland as a manager and he probably didn't have the fully developed personality to be leading a group of 20 men.
He's went away to Portugal, he's done it and now he's at St Etienne who's a big institution and he was always a decent manager but he maybe just never had the opportunity to show himself and I think that's, I know we're sidetracked here, a big thing for a team like Hearts because you'll get booed at times at Hearts, the fans will get on you but if you can embrace them and
and it's like Celtic and Rangers and show that you can deal with that whilst improving the team you go a long way it hurts it's going to be a fascinating season next season because some of the teams even some of the teams who were hugely successful last season they've all changed look you know look at the top of the league
That's the joy of Scottish football.
You look at the top six and you think, how many of them will be top six again?
Because it's just, you never know going into a season.
These teams, the turnover of players we spoke about off their mother wall.
most prolific players in their team Dylan Tate Dylan Tate I forgot about him as well it's crazy and that's before you look at the likes of Philip Lissa and the guy Ben Broglie or the guys who were in Lone is it Cartwright as well yeah Cartwright and Wilson and Williams it's only in Scottish football can that turnover happen and you actually feel sorry for managers because the thing in football you want is continuity and
in Scotland it just doesn't happen it's Celtic it used to Rangers maybe so but again both of them will be 10 transfers each this summer and listen you'll go face to face with a big managerial mover of the summer as well at the start of the season Marvin Bartley to Stenny yes we've seen that hope Marv does well he's a great guy and I think it's a good job for him I think he's championship team now yeah which fully deserved and I think Gary Naismith left him in a decent place and no he done well at Livy didn't he yeah
Yeah, I think there's a lot of positives to be taken in terms of where they're landing at the moment.
After two games with three points and zero goal difference, it could be a lot worse.
It also could be better.
I think that there was a few good things I saw.
I thought McLean came off the bench and done well.
I thought Ferguson was good, which also would unlock McTominay and McGinn a little bit higher up.
for the Brazil game I thought McTominay was a wee bit more of a threat this game in their box as well especially second half first half left a lot to be desired and obviously he started Tierney left wing which was a tactical decision that if it worked he was a genius but unfortunately after two minutes to score a goal from down that side Tierney is one of our best players for me but
Steve Clarke doesn't really lose heavily he always seems to be in the games Germany okay Germany being the big example but other than that there's not many games where he loses heavily and I think he always refers back to the Germany game and Steve Clarke is quite pragmatic isn't he he's quite he's quite negative when setting up his team which is fine
defensively that's fine negative's probably not the right word but to paint a picture I don't think he'll go and play two strikers up front with Doak and Christie so against Brazil he's probably the best manager to go and get you a 2-0 defeat probably gets you through however
I think on the flip side Scotland should be going into this game with a few more goals against Haiti and the Morocco 1-0 is then a great result in terms of you're going to go through I think your first obligation is caution when you're playing Brazil and when you're playing them in a place like Florida so he will pick his team accordingly I think
I don't think McTominay's was a penalty.
