Davefevs Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 1 hour ago, italian dave said: Thanks Dave. You rightly make the case that it wasn’t a hard game for Germany, and that Nagelsman didn’t need some tactical masterplan for that game. But at the same time, have to say I was impressed with Germany. They have some great players, and they do use them well. I’m looking forward to seeing them against tougher opposition. McCrorie and Conway: just demonstrates what happens if you leave your best players on the bench all game…….. 37 minutes ago, Mr Popodopolous said: Hungary have improved significantly in the last decade or so. They may oddly get some joy from Switzerland only because as always, Switzerland do lack a high calibre striker. Perennial weakness of theirs but they can score goals regardless. Scotland getting 1 point at best wouldn't surprise me. On last night’s showing, Germany are very decent - who’d have guessed! Likely to be a 3-team mini group. Scotland the lowest rank (19, 26, 39). Tough job ahead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numero Uno Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 3 hours ago, Redstart said: Clarke is out of his depth, I do wonder if the Scots might approach Moyes after the tournament. I wouldn’t be so harsh on Clarke tbh. The side he is managing would be top 6 but not 100% guaranteed to win the Championship imo. Souness called it spot on, look who the German lads play for then look at the Scottish lads. They needed everyone bang at it last night to compete and it just didn’t happen. They conceded early and panic set in. It was a carbon copy of watching us a few years back before Pearson steadied it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were some games when he ran the midfield single handedly and was the best player on the pitch but if he wasn`t having one of those you barely saw him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But those appearances in Serie A were 5 years ago now. This season he was loaned out by Pisa who finished 13th in Serie B to Spezia who finished 17th. So he's not exactly pulling up trees.
