I think, especially when you're dealing with the right-hand side that Morocco has, Robertson could have been a little bit more aggressive and Tierney could have covered and that first goal probably doesn't happen.
The fact that... I know it's easy saying that, don't get me wrong.
The fact that he played Tierney left wing, I just don't understand.
Tierney's got good running power, I do get that, but we didn't even put balls in behind for him to run, so that kind of takes away that idea that he'd done it for that.
The back five, the only thing is McKenna will probably be fit and he'll want him in the team so it probably won't be T on the anyway against Brazil.
It'll probably be McKenna, Hanley and Henry.
Henry's decent on the ball so if we get any of the ball that's probably a good space for him to be in.
the only thing is again then if you go back five you're going to lose a player in the centre of the park and Brazil will dominate the ball they'll pass the ball around and the only thing it does do is it gives you a solid back line that's top to the likes of Vinnie Jr but you can't just stop one element of Brazil there's going to be three or four extra ones that are going to hurt you
No, I think the opening few minutes is irrelevant, but...
if you take the two games together the Haiti game I thought Scotland were far too deep they allowed Haiti to cause problems their whole game plan was get the ball along to a physical striker and get the knockdowns and if you're doing that from your own box to the halfway line it's easy to control for Scotland if Haiti's doing that if Haiti are then doing that
against Scotland the amount of touches they got in Scotland's box because of Scotland's positions was incredible it was far too much and Scotland probably got away with one they could have scored a couple of headers last night Morocco are a little bit better so and in that heat you naturally drop off and it's no shame to be a little bit deeper but I definitely think because of the Haiti game people are seeing that last night a lot clearer that Scotland are deep and
Over the course of two games, it's a problem, but last night in isolation, I think you probably need to just drop your ego and go a little bit deeper.
I think if it was Saturday Wednesday or Sunday Wednesday definitely but the fact that it's Friday and they've still got five days to recover nowadays they've got everything the beds are perfect the ice baths the saunas everything all the recovery stuff the protein the gels everything's perfect I don't think that should be a problem but
The weather will be a problem.
I think mentally your legs will start feeling tougher and you'll probably think about the short space of time.
But I don't think it can be an excuse because there's five days.
But the weather more so, I think myself being 32, you feel the difference between 25 degrees in Scotland to 10 degrees.
It plays a big part.
I think there was a lot of screenshots as if the boy touched it with his foot.
Did you see them this morning?
