Kung fu tackle by Miller, lucky he only caught the guys shin guard.

 

We were much better against Psg..

Our actual passing hasn't been good at all. Too many rushed and long ball's..

We've been very good on the counter though..

 

Reading by the last posts this sounds like a good game of martial arts, should give it watch.

 

Even in the PSG game at times Hill and McInroy were left with far too much to do.

Henderson is like playing with a man down when the opposition have the ball and when he finally gets it, it's always some daft flick in his own half or try a wonder ball. You can hear the coaches constantly shouting at him to track back.

No surprise we came back into it when Hendry started to come inside more. Even at this age, European football is all about composure in possession.

 

You can see he's far too high up when they break. Very noticeable and he's almost like our striker when we overturn as well..

Either move him out right and swap with Hendry or who else can really make an impact from the bench? Haven't seen much of Caffrey and Savoury didn't look up to much last game..

 

20-pass build-up

I was listening to someone the other day. *, can't mind who it was and they were talking about the changes to our game (Scotland as a whole). They were saying genetically we just don't really produce big strong athletes and it's something we can't really change on the whole..

We definitely don't seem to have as much of a problem with that now as you say with those name's amongst other's..

 

He stands out like a sore thumb because of the power of work Aitchison, Hendry and Johnstone are putting in.

Then when we're on the ball he's not giving McInroy or Hill and option.

It's always the same. Hendry should be in the 10.

 

I praise Aitchison for loads of reason's but anyone can see here what he does for the team. The amount of time's he's sprinting back to our half chasing down defender's is brilliant to see..

Same with the other 2 as well, and maybe more impressively with Hendry as he's clearly not a natural winger, and isn't blessed with pace..

Couple more goals in this second half for us I think..

 

I think if we don't change it we could badly tire towards the end. Hendry has no pace at all but he's just on another level when it comes to composure and keeping the ball under pressure.

Not seen enough of the other youngsters though to know if they could do an equal job on the right but a couple of them are highly rated.

What ever happens we need to look for Hendry more.

 

Ball well out of play there, good save by the keeper

 

Official's are pish..

Didn't book the boy for wiping us out on the break then immediately get's the yellow out for McInroy..

 

He won the ball fucksake.

 

All our players in our defensive third...

 

Lewis Bell was training with the first team other week I'm sure..

 

Mental that Mullen has only just turned 16.

 

He was.

 

2-1.

 

Thought so mate..

* * that goal..
