It is all very well saying, "lets play with two strikersl" instead of one striker but that could be the difference between us losing 0-1 and probably losing 0-4 or 0-5 to a top class side which would do none of us any good. I think strachan did try 2 up front in the last batch of friendlies and it just didnae work.
That said i'd like to see rhodes get more of a chance,but we have had plenty of players in the past who have struggled with the step up from the championship to international football too. Does he play on his own up front for his club SCO ?

We don't play top class sides every game though.

True,but most of the time in the group we will need to play that way,if we had good enough midfielders available then perhaps playing two up top would be more feasible but he doesn't so he needs five there. You got to have someone who can hold it up. Fletcher and naismith are the best i've seen for that.
You have to try and keep the ball in international football and a 4-4-2 doesn't suit us i think.

We could always revert to the Levein method and play 'no strikers' eh!! That 'ploy in Prague' was one of the all-time gaffes by an awful Scotland manager!

That's fine Jim however Leigh Griffiths plays lone striker for Celtic and he's miles better than goal machine Fletcher.

Call it one of the most unforgettable moments of all time for any Scotland fan Fredster lol - sadly for all the wrong reasons!

Agree. But he is rotten at holding play up. (13-05-2016, 10:38)0762 Wrote: We could always revert to the Levein method and play 'no strikers' eh!!

Ponder that for a moment.

Yup.
It looks like strachan has asked the managers for their opinions on this one. Some have said aye and some have said maybe leave it. |
