And with that, I’m done. Bye!
Andy Robertson admits Scotland “could have lost 6-0” given the chances Netherlands missed near the end, and is generally a bit miffed.
Anger. Disappointment. You can’t come away to these big teams and play the way we did. We have to take a lot of heart from the first 70 minutes but the game’s over 90 minutes. The fact we’ve walked off losing 4-0 is unbelievable, it’s impossible for that to happen. The last couple of games we’ve shipped quite a lot of goals and that’s not what we’re based on. People looking at that result will think, very one-sided but it was far from that.
You go 1-0 down to a wonderstrike, but then we didn’t panic, we kept playing, and we started the second half extremely well. At this level it’s all about putting the ball in the back of the net and if you go one each it’s a different game. But what we can’t do is open up like we did. That’s a collective thing. We opened up too much. You can look at the chances we missed and we’ve got to be more clinical but we’ve also got to keep them out at the back door. The last six games we’ve dropped our standards. We need to get back to winning ways, that’s what we have to do, and it needs to start quickly.
