Big_M Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 is borjan the worst #1 keeper in this tournament? he needs to step away from the national team after this one instead of the coach having to make that decision Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scullion44 Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 It's not like Morocco are world beaters either. Most of their players play in top leagues but for below average clubs. Coach has them firing like crazy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unnamed Trialist Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 It's not the objective quality of the players, not only. It is also a lack of character on the pitch, and on the bench. We don't deserve to have this kind of performance. There has to be some leadership on the pitch and off, and players have to keep their heads up and show much more professionalism.

Joe Keeper Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 (edited) We must change formations right now. This starting line up is a disaster. Get David up top with Larin and Buchanan. Move Davies to CAM. Edited December 1, 2022 by Joe Keeper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VinceA Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 Herdman once against using Davies as a 10. Fucking hell man not once this tournament has Davies beaten a man out wide and sent it a cross. That's literally his game! What is going on here. Davies as a 10 has not worked for us at all why would it now? king1010, rightback, cronaldo7 and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metro Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 For all our struggles in the back, Johnston has been a beast. Whatever Celtic paid, it’s a bargain. Free kick, rightback and JAVIERF 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Floortom Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 Borjan has regressed to the mean. During the Octagonal he played above his level and singlehandedly saved us points multiple times. Obviously that wasnt going to continue forever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dyslexic nam Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 Just now, VinceA said: Our CM pool is great if even like two of the prospects pan out. I'm not worried about that at all. The reason our CM's look bad today is Because Herdman doesn't get it through his head that a two man midfield against better teams is suicide for us. Our attack quality doesn't offset the amount of work the midfield and defence have to do. Agree with both elements of this, but especially the latter. No idea why, when playing very high quality opposition, we do t recognize the shortsightedness of playing an attacking formation. Yes, it might work against Curaçao. But we are playing teams that have world class players. We should have set up to be defensively solid first and used our speed on the counter.

If there's no World Cup qualification until 2028 onwards the CSA need to carefully consider if Herdman is out of his depth at this level and whether Croatia and Morocco knew exactly what to do after watching the Belgium game to dismantle what he was trying to do tactically. Don't claim to know all the answers on that but it's something that can be carefully disected. To be fair to John Herdman I think we have tended to underestimate Morocco a bit. The quality of their passing and composure in possession around their own box is tremendous so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
