Not only that a day away from home against modest Armenia in the relatively modest Nations League is an inevitable victory for the national coach to spare him the worry of reaching dazzling levels. the players have actually gone somewhere. Unfortunately, this position is out of boil. No single player in Scotland’s colours advanced his reputation in the Republic of Ireland’s atrocious 3-0 win on Saturday. However, for John McGinn, Che Adams, Scott McTominay, Jack Hendry, Ryan Christie and Billy Gilmour, the failed efforts in Dublin were only the continuation of their inability to produce truly convincing displays in this exterior window. And in most cases, they shape struggles that stick to those they had with their clubs last season.
Things can be taken out of Clarke’s hands regarding the availability of some members of this organization after his admission, he has “significant” injury disorders for the encounter with Armenia. Even without fitness issues, it is difficult to justify the delivery of starting positions. to one of them on Tuesday night. Yes, even the darling of the tartan army, McGinn. The appetite and attitude of the Aston Villa midfielder is indisputable. Their genuine productivity? Not so much.
It was reported that the 27-year-old was not missed after not missing a very important, excellent head opportunity, the World Cup play-off defeat to Ukraine just a fortnight ago. Armenians last week, it was not the same pilot as always. He showed the kind of tiredness that seemed to have affected him in the same way as Adams, Hendry, Christie and Gilmour. These players will have to be removed from the line. of fire. As a result, Clarke deserves to take a look at his team’s margins to bring some freshness. Absolutely no interest for him to work with an expanded team and not use the larger number.
This is where Allan Campbell and David Turnbull can come in; the former provides the grafting while the timing provides the craftsmanship. After an encouraging first season with Luton Town, a start for Campbell alongside Callum McGregor in midfield would inject much-needed power into this area. His sense of purpose, meanwhile, may make Turnbull compatible to be deployed as one of two forwards, Stuart Armstrong the other, the main striker in Clarke’s favourite form in 3-4-2-1.
Who takes on the role of Adams’ centre forward is one of the puzzles, no doubt. With Lyndon injured, there’s rarely much fun in the only credible opportunities of Jacob Brown and Ross Stewart. the bench. However, he has been with the team for seven months and deserves a chance. Especially since the fact that his last 11 club appearances have scored five goals suggests he is in a smart mood. At the rear, the new Rangers signing John Souttar may be permanent with Scott McKenna and Hanley (Liam Cooper left the team for his wedding), if only because he’s at least not tainted by the weekend’s debacle. It sums up the predicament in which Scotland found itself.
Scotland (3-4-2-1): Gordon; Souttar, Hanley, McKenna; Ralston, Campbell, McGregor, Robertson; Amstrong, Turnbull; Chestnut.
