Prob no and 100% agree on how bad the coaches are, however if we have the players to beat Israel, which I also agree with, how did last night happen?This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
I get that a bad coach/manager can have a negative impact around the squad however some of the players, if not all, also need to stand up and be counted. When it looks like even the captain canny be arsed then the games up IMO

Before last night he'd played well every time he'd been selected for Scotland.

There is so many things wrong with the Scotland team we could be here all day. In short we have three main problems.
1. Coaching is not good enough from a very young age. Too many guys aren't properly taught the basics so when it gets to the international front they are struggling.
2.We have not set system to play like hibs and celtic do and pick random formations. Lenny has shown with two different midfields if you get the right system for the players it gets results.
3.We need to be identifying talent around the under 21s and bring them through like Germany or India do at cricket. Keep faith with them then we might just get some success. Lastly when a player as red hot as Boyle is available then we must give him a chance. Lenny waxes lyrical about him and he doesn't do that often and he was given a four year contract for a reason. Of the current coaches only Steve Clarke would fill me with any confidence but the job has become the poisoned chalice of football. I admire the loyal Scotland fans as you watch so much dross and keep turning up. I couldn't watch them right now.

He should have never got the job and if he’s sacked we are back to square one unless there is a clear out in the SFA.

The manager is playing to many players out of position to try and accommodate everyone he wants in the team?
As for Souttar, there was 2 young defenders in last night and neither got much protection from midfield.
If you think Hanlon would have changed the result, I think that's delusional, the whole team totally under performed except MacGregor!!
Up front there was nothing going forward, so we could have had Kenny Dalgliesh up front if he does not get the ball what can he do!!!!

Michael Stewart summed it up perfectly last night, McLeish is playing a system that nearly all the players don't play at their current clubs, these systems takes weeks of hard training to perfect, he has them 3-4 days every so often and last nights performance showed they had no clue what they were doing.
I remember hearing an interview with Strachan and he spoke about his time at Middlesbrough and his mistakes, he said he was trying to make the players play to a system he wanted instead of actually playing the players in a system that suited them, the same thing is happening with McLeish right now.
4-4-2 at home and 4-3-/4-5-1 away from home, it's not that complicated.

What if they have 5 in midfield Vs your 4? They have an extra man? Better to keep the ball, press and stop you moving forward. You can't distribute it property so you end up playing long, to Griffith's and Naismith? Just comes back at you.

Was Mulgrew injured?
Accepted wisdom is to sub a player on an early yellow card in case he gets another one. Particularly relevant when it is one of your centre halfs. In this case the player with the booking was left on, he gets another yellow, and we are down to ten.
Am I missing a point?
Apologies to McLeish if Mulgrew was injured but the way he put that penalty away suggested to me his left foot, which is the one he uses 90% of the time, was in perfect working order..

I can only assume that Mulgrew was injured. That's not a change you make unless it is forced.
We missed him big time when he went off, whilst we hadn't been brilliant when he was on we were looking reasonably solid.
We went to pieces when he went off.

I wasn't advocating 4-4-2 etc we need to play players in their proper positions instead of squeezing them into a system they're not comfortable with.
We've went to a back 4 recently at Hibs because it suits the players we have at the club, what do we actually play, it varies between 4-5-1/4-3-3/4-1-4-1/4-4-2 it changes all the time in game, fluidity is what's needed and adaption during the game.

4-6-0 FFS. And 4-5-1 hoofball to Griffiths or Naismith. Darren Fletcher and Brown often played right mid. It's embarrassing.

I see the boy Devlin from Aberdeen has been called up for tomorrow's game.
What else does Hanlon need to do to be called up.Less talk, more gifs. 21.05.16
