My annoyance is we play friendlies and never try anything - the sum total of our experimentation last night was taking a bloke on who's doing mint in Serie A and giving Shankland 15 minutes.
Patterson was having a honker but understandably wanted to keep him on - why not play him right wing second half and have a right back behind him? Try the same with Robertson and Tierney next friendlies (and hopefully Hickey back) then the wide problem is fixed for 4-5-1 as an option.
Instead we had 5 center midfielders just clogging up space last night.
Why not chuck someone in from the u21s and all? If they're shit nothing lost but if they have a good game it might help them break through at their club.
