'Outfought' and 'not good enough' - Robertson on Scotland defeat
Scotland were "outfought" and simply "not good enough" in their 2-1 Nations League defeat by Slovenia, according to captain Andy Robertson.
Scotland captain Andy Robertson has admitted his team were not good enough and were outfought in their 2-1 Nations League defeat by Slovenia. Despite winning against North Macedonia earlier in the week, Scotland were favored to secure another victory at Hampden Park. However, Slovenia's goals from Danijel Sturm and Aljosa Matko turned the tide in the second half.
Robertson told BBC Sport Scotland that the whole team lacked the quality and made mistakes that allowed Slovenia to cause them problems. He added that the team looked tired and less hungry compared to Slovenia. Pocognoli, Scotland's new manager, echoed Robertson's sentiments, stating that Scotland were below par and didn't deserve the win.
The team's defensive lapses allowed Slovenia to exploit gaps in the high defensive line, leading to their second-half goals. Former national team captain Willie Miller questioned whether Pocognoli will stick with his preferred back three system, as the team's structure was disjointed throughout the match.
