Embarrassing, clueless, arrogant, selfish and tactically inept.
Ok that's enough about Strachan, lets get on to some of our so called International class footballers.
David Marshall - I've never been his biggest fan and he has conceded a ridiculous amount of goals in a Scotland jersey, I long for the day McGregor is fit again.
Calum Paterson, gives 110% but sadly he did look out his depth last night, a problem position for a few years now.
Russell Martin - The decline in him is staggering, he was outstanding when he first came on to the scene with Norwich and Scotland but he wouldn't stand out in a Sunday league team these days.
Grant Hanley - Worst Scotland defender of all time.
Keiran Tierney - One of the few positives, played very well first half and looked our biggest threat going forward. Quietened in the 2nd half but still kept the ball well and dug deep.
Barry Bannan - Never Scotland class, absolutely no chance should he be starting at Wembley.
Darren Fletcher - Done, and was done 4 years ago.
Matt Ritchie - A skinny less talented Kris Commons, the new Charlie Mulgrew who plays for set pieces.
James McArthur - The other positive, never rated him but he's come on leaps and bounds the past year, fair play to him.
Robert Snodgrass - Couldn't trap a tortoise last night.
Steven Fletcher - A Scottish Joe Garner, couldn't bring the ball in or stay on his feet, woeful.
I'm sick to the back teeth of us putting up with mediocrity. This campaign was a chance to bleed fresh life into the squad and instead we have regressed and stuck with guys who have never and never will be good enough.
The fact Griffiths, Anya to an extent and even McGinn did more in 25 minutes than the rest of the team over the past 2 games shows just how wrong Strachan got it.
He won't resign but he has to be pushed and pushed now before it's too late.
People say England is a laughing stock?
Then we're the flooking circus that is giving away free tickets.
Disgraceful.

Just seen a guy ranting on social media, his point was that since we started capping English born players we have been in decline blowing the argument that they are better out of the water. Could he have a point? Maybe they are just not as passionate.

In general we've got the guys who aren't good enough for England. I'm not all that keen on the eligibility rules but we have to do the best we can within them. We can't afford to cast players aside because they were born outside Scotland.

see at the end of the day
we're never gonna qualify for a major tournament with the defensive options we currently have

Blue, true mate. We shouldn't just pick them if they qualify though which seems is done at times. I agree also Ghod, even Mulgrew would be a better option at CB than those clowns.
Marshall tae for that first goal - a weak header he should have held instead of palming right into the danger zone, against the run of play actually so it's his fault!

a very fair assesment
I see no other option now but for Strachan to go
see any football manager that refuses to make an unforced change prior to this 60mins mark , they need a fcking kick up the erse
1-0 down at half time and having played well but for one thing - no goals - Hmm i wonder what we could do to change that ???
introduce your attacking options at half time - there is no need to wait until this magical 60mins
Introducing 2 subs when youve went 2-0 down is a joke , they come on against a team with valuable breathing space and who are playing with their tails up , you dont stand a chance of doing anything really
that said , when you look at our options i think were in as bad a state as ive ever known us to be
midfield - Bannan , Macarthur , Fletcher
holy fck!!!! that midfield would struggle in the SPL

If our SFA had any gumption at all they would be meeting him off the plane and putting an arm round his shoulder with a car waiting to get him to fwck as far away from our international side as is humanly possible with a cheque in his back pocket.

Marshall
Paterson - Martin - Reynolds - Robertson
Morrison McArthur
Snodgrass
Forrest Griffiths Burke
Not many options but imo Reynolds is a better option to Hanley and Snodgrass far, far better centrally
LB we are actually spoilt for choice
CB its sad as Scotland are renowned for having good CBs in the past
Morrison and McArthur I think are our best two in midfield
