Robertson questions team attitude
Andy Robertson has already questioned the attitude of his Scotland teammates with Sébastien Pocognoli’s era barely having started.
Scotland's Nations League position
Scotland are staring at a third-place finish in Group B1 of the Nations League which will have repercussions for their seeding in Euro 2028 qualifying.
Poor performance against Slovenia
Scotland were dismal for a half in Slovenia before a decent but scoreless recovery.
Early loss to Switzerland
They capitulated after an early sending off against Switzerland failing to register a shot on target in a meek 3-0 loss.
Weak performance against North Macedonia
North Macedonia were as poor an international team as Scotland have faced in recent times rendering the 2-0 win in Skopje worthy of little more than a shoulder shrug.
Slovenia match result
Pocognoli’s men rounded off this extended window by being played off the Hampden Park pitch by Slovenia.
Pocognoli's two-year contract
Pocognoli was given only a two-year contract which was odd given the pedestal he was placed on by the Scottish Football Association when hired in August.
Tactical concerns
Scotland do not have an obvious two-man central defensive pairing meaning they most definitely struggle when the number is increased by one.
Pocognoli's tactical approach
Pocognoli deploys a three-man backline as routine with an emphasis on pressing high and wing-backs being crucial to attacking phases.
At a glance
Scotland's poor performance under new manager Pocognoli raises doubts about team readiness.
