In an interview with Scotland’s The Herald newspaper, former Chelsea player Pat Nevin spoke about Steve Clarke’s ability to bring out the best in players and his potential to find a hidden talent among his squad. Nevin, who played with Clarke at Chelsea, believes that Clarke’s tactical setup allows both Andy Robertson and Kieran Tierney to feature in the same team. This suggests that the makeshift striker could be someone already within the squad.
With Lyndon Dykes injured, there has been much discussion surrounding a call-up for Under-21 striker Tommy Conway. However, Nevin doubts that both Conway and another young player like Ben Doak would make it into the final squad. Instead, he believes that it will likely be a choice between Conway and Doak to fill the role as Che Adams is presumed to be the top candidate for the striker position. With Clarke’s track record of utilizing players effectively and adapting tactics to suit the team’s needs, Nevin suggests that there may be a surprising solution to Scotland’s striking dilemma.
