Lack of creativity is nation’s downfallpublished at 12:22
Scotland 0-1 Hungary
Against Hungary, I was really surprised at the way we controlled the first 35 minutes.
It was utter domination of the ball, but in the midfield, not beyond.
That was the problem and, to be honest, it has been the problem for a while.
The two guys who have got us out of trouble time and time again are Scott McTominay and John McGinn – and they got very little against Hungary.
They were marked well, but we were not going past people or holding it up and flicking it on.
If you look at most other teams, they have eights, 10s or someone out wide who are looking up, seeing passes.
We have got to the point where we have got to this level now to qualify. But we cannot say it is a disgrace, that we were let down.
We were not. We got as far as we deserved to get with the quality we have.
The biggest shout will be Lawrence Shankland looked good for the time when he came on, but did you see the game?
It was wide open for that period and that is why you bring him on.
