Sébastien Pocognoli

Of course, you want to be on the pitch playing, but it was a great experience.

I think it just makes you think when you put the shirt on how much it means to the fans and all that restarts you again." The arrival of Sebastian Pocognoli has also been something that has energized Gilmour, who says he is enjoying the style of football that the Belgian is trying to implement, particularly as his role within the new setup comes with more responsibility as an attacking creative force.

And he said, "I think when I was younger, I always played a more attacking role, a 10 role, a bit of a free role.

Then I moved away and wanted to be on the ball more and just got asked to play these positions.

Scotland 1, Slovenia 2.

Sebastian Pocognoli urged Scotland to put on a show for the Tartan Army at Hamden against Slovenia.

But it was a second-half horror show that his men served up as they were deservedly beaten.

Uh, Super Scoreboard on Tuesday just before the game.

Where are we sitting now after four games of Pocognoli?

Um, on the fence, if I'm totally honest with you.

Mm-hmm.

Yeah, because we, yeah.

We're a host.

Pocognoli will be the manager at Euro 2028.

Yeah, agree.

No.

No. Pocognoli was about 10, 15 yards away.

So he was saying it was brilliant.

Sebastian, yeah.

Mm

... type of manager.

Right.

And that's probably harder to implement on a national team than-

... you know, "Oh, I've been eating Greek salad for the last six months."

[laughs]

"I used to be manager of Liverpool, yeah."

That's Group A, whatever that was, two I think.

So many games to play.

few twists and turns but I'm interested to see how he'll slot back in and maybe that also works with Scotland as well how does he fit into the Pocognoli revolution as well but again similar kind of response he's an asset he knows how to score goals we can find a place for him

Ibro 62 in the comments says Shanklin's a key player versus low blocks and Kelso says Shanklin will be back for the second half of the season and help fire Rangers to the title I should say I should clarify Keith I think he's a quality player I think he was a great signing for Rangers they should have signed him years ago but I just quite like the way Nadiri and Kelsey kind of formed that partnership.

Big, two big guys you'd never want to come up against if you're a defender.

This one down at the bottom, if I can get to it.

Michael says Scotland are like Celtic pushed off the ball easily and playing round and roundabout at the back Paul says Scotland can't score goals same old story the system isn't working Murray says Paul Gagnoli needs more time but he has to wake up quickly and David says give me one positive from the Scotland campaign so far Mick and I were on the show last night Keith not got your take on it yet what did you make of last night's events at Hampden?

I didn't like it and I've been banging the drum a little bit for Pocognoli and there's a little bit of me that I've caught myself by surprise there because I'm always a bit wary and a bit cautious of the new age philosophizers that come into football and they want to try and reinvent the wheel and show you that they know better and And there's a little bit of me from the offset with Pocagnoli concerned that, you know, Steve Clarke didn't do what Steve Clarke did because he wanted to be unpopular with the fans.

He kind of worked out that in order to make Scotland successful and in order to make Scotland able to win enough games to qualify for tournaments, there's a certain style of play that he felt was necessary.
