    I really, really want to see Forrest at LWB with Roberts in the left attacking midfield position infront of him. I can’t see any team in Scotland being able to cope with that.

    Be great to see something that bit different, like you say, how would teams cope with such attacking flair and pace.

    Switch it up Brendan

    Griff and the Mouss up top would be fun.

    But proper up front together, like an old school two strikers type effort. None of this dropping in false makey upper *.

    Just thinkin out loud really

    That's what I want to see. Like a 3-5-2 of sorts.

    I don't think playing Roberts down that side with no real RB is a problem. Just let Brown shuffle back to make it a back 4 most of the time anyway. Forrest I also don't see a problem with on the left, driving in onto his stronger right foot.

    Rogic and Griffiths then floating about Dembele.

    I once almost thought seriously would be a good idea to have Ntcham on goal for long kicks

    Playing a high pressure game like Liverpool with over lapping full backs.

    Really think we need a no nonsense centre back like Shane Duffy along side Hendry.

    * it,the way teams (don't) play against us these days, just play 1 defender, 1mid and 8 attackers.

    From kick off just go full pelt, get the first goal. Then spend the next 88 minutes with the ten players in a bank of 2 circles guarding the ball.

    * aren't going to play football against us and sit with two banks of 5 defenders in their third anyway.
    What would be the difference, apart from us making a stance against that pish.



    Point is, our formation etc doesn't matter, we are better than the rest. It's their parked bus nonsense that stiffles us. So get the first goal, then ruin the game even for them and their hopes of sneaking a draw.
