ScoRoss Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 I'm not sure Scotland are going to have any players left for this game. Almost every defensive option is out injured, and Ryan Porteous could have to make his debut tomorrow. Meanwhile Adams and Dykes are both I'll, leaving not many attacking options left. Quite concerning in all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoRoss Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 Huge game for Porteous to come in for and, to a lesser extent, Ryan Jack to be thrown back in. Can't afford to think about only needing a draw and sitting back in this game. This team has far more quality in midfield going forward than in the defence.

Michael Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 4 minutes ago, Stan said: How did Yarmolenko miss that chance?! Not sure, Mudryk put that chance on a plate for him, that was a sitter Yarmolenko should have scored from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 Ukraine benefitting from having Zabarnyi and Mykolenko back in their defence. Tymchyk has also started in place of the erratic Karavayev. Despite the injuries, Petrakov the manager has played a pretty good lineup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 Hickey has impressed for Scotland in all these games so far. He does awfully well down the right flank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator Stan Posted September 27, 2022 Author Administrator Share Posted September 27, 2022 What the hell... Scotland have a claim for a penalty overturned correctly by VAR. The ball initially went out for the corner. But Ukraine get the dropball . How does that work!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 Stepenenko should have done better with that header. It's extremely wet in Poland though, the conditions aren't ideal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator Stan Posted September 27, 2022 Author Administrator Share Posted September 27, 2022 Porteous is having a decent debut, handling Dovbyk quite well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 Well it's 0-0 at half-time. Ukraine need to win to top the group, they've had their chances, but Yarmolenko in particular was really guilty of missing a very big chance. Petrakov might be tempted to bring on attacking options Yaremchuk, Tsygankov or even Zubkov if it remains 0-0 for much longer in the 2nd half. For Scotland, a win or a draw will do. They've been pretty organised for the most part and had that one really good chance through Che Adams whose deflected shot early on was saved by Lunin. But it will be interesting to see how they play in the 2nd half, will they be more attacking and take the game more to Ukraine or will they look to play it more safe. Either way, this is a big match for both sides as they both desperately want to win this group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 Tsygankov and Yaremchuk come on for Mudryk and Dovbyk for Ukraine. Tsygankov is always a great player to bring on, but not sure why the manager has brought off Mudryk, who has been one of the best players on the pitch once again.
