Euro 2024 Scotland - Post tournament discussion

add the manager is tactically inept and fills the team with crash barriers

It's not just the players, it's the tactics. We're playing too high a line and giving the Germans space to get in behind our defence. We're not offering any press ands sitting off the ball and letting Germany play. Not picking up German runners from midfield.
 
Scotland.
Are SO out their depth!
Not to worry.
The Tartan Army will fly the flag, and will go out after the game, and get completely wasted with their German hosts, and once again Scotland will be everybody's friends.
The "Party Boys" are back!
But are the laughing stock of European football. After only 45 minutes.
Once again!!!

You could set your watch by it!

Did you miss the first part

The manager is tactically inept
 
We can talk about Gilmour and other personnel all you want. It’d be re-arranging the deckchairs on the Titanic. Three reasons we’re getting schooled here:
  1. Germany have better players across the board
  2. They’ve identified the tactical weakness of Scotland system (we’re narrow and stretched too far back to front)
  3. Germans are trying harder
Last point is the biggest. We are to scared to play, rather lose and say it was only 2 - 0

Our traditional role is to be the gallant losers.
 
Steve Clarke somehow manages to make good players who play at the top level, look very shit.

This weak defensive setup is going to get us absolutely nowhere against Hungary or Switzerland.
