@jim_honest@RangersTruth That i get, but we all clearly saw the tactic of the defence playing from the back, even in the Haiti game. You could be right, but I think Clarkes system isn't right for us. Its a paradoxical thing, he's the guy to get us to finals, but the wrong guy in the finals.
@gl3nbuck@Davyjrob67@STVNews I'm not going to sit here and say what to do, but I sure as shit wouldn't allow or encourage my defence (who are inept) to try and pass the ball about like they did over 3 games. Thats on the system not player decisions.
@gl3nbuck@Davyjrob67@STVNews Ok, so we both agree the defence inept, why would you play a system that embraces a play the ball out from the back, nothing is on going forward play the ball back to hold on to it. Thats Clarke system for the last 3 games, that is bizarre knowing how uncomfortable the defence is
@jim_honest@RangersTruth Other smaller nations are taken results off of those "champions league teams" and are far smaller and have lesser players. This is all about tactics and systems and attitudes, which Clarke does have/suit IMO
@Calum0807@_CM_67_ Its clarkes fault he instructed his defence to play the ball out from the back, its also clear the tactics were play it out, if nothing on, hold the ball and play it back. This happened in all 3 games, this is on Clarke and the coaches.
@gl3nbuck@Davyjrob67@STVNews Exactly, and the frontline is technically irrelevant our system isn't designed or have the personal to feed a forward line. Clarke is just hopeful some breaks our way up front (i.e the Denmark game).
@Cammy2487 My guess is the SFA were happy with just qualifying, knew his contact is up, have no clear vision of the next level. Clarke tells them we have good young players coming through and they bought it.
@Cammy2487 Oh, I agree. Though for me, clarkes tactics and system has been our biggest issue in all 3 games. The buck stops at him. He has been great for is, though we need more from these players and clarke has shown again in tournament football he hasn't got it.
@jim_honest@RangersTruth Ok, lets say your 100% right, IMO clarke has done great in qualifying. But tournament football is a different animal from qualifying. We had this same convo after the euros, not going forward, creating chances etc. We have had 1 chance on target & a goal that was going wide
@SpoutHandle@BlairMcNally1 Its on Clarke because players are playing his system. All 3 games the players have clearly been instructed to play from the back and if nothing is on, hold on to the ball and play it back. Even in the Haiti game this was an issue. This isn't on the players, this is a system issue
