Scott McTominay’s actions during Scotland’s Euro 2024 match against Switzerland on Wednesday left fans perplexed.
Scotland’s prospects of progressing to the subsequent round of Euro 2024 remain viable as a result of their valiant draw with Switzerland.
McTominay scored the opening goal for Steve Clarke’s team in the 13th minute.
However, Manchester United’s goal was ultimately negated by Xherdan Shaqiri, a former Liverpool player who executed an extraordinary strike.
A user on X inquired, “Could Scottish fans respond to this?” Why is McTominay being prioritised on corners over Gilmour or McGinn, despite the fact that he is unquestionably your greatest goal threat?
A second individual composed the following: “What is the reason for McTominay’s decision to take corners and free kicks?” “He ought to be at the conclusion of them!”
An additional individual stated: “McTominay is like 6’3, why is he taking the corners man.”
A fourth individual stated, “McTominay is the most effective player we have at scoring from set pieces, yet he is executing free kicks and corners.” Comical.
An additional observer said: “McTominay taking corners is genuinely one of the most baffling tactical choices I’ve ever seen.”
Scotland’s Billy Gilmour, John McGinn, and Andy Robertson are all capable of delivering a strong delivery from a dead ball situation, as one spectator noted.
Nevertheless, the squad maintained its adherence to McTominay, despite his potential to score goals in the box.
Scotland has one point in Group A ahead of their match against Hungary in Stuttgart, following their 5-1 loss to Germany in the tournament opener.
