The joy of the autumn has dwindled and now all Scotland can see are problems. What has gone wrong for Steve Clarke's squad?
John McGinn adorned the cover of the match programme on Tuesday, a super hero soaring above the city landscape, red cape flowing.
Booed off at the break. The captain in the casualty room. A goal behind and it should have been two. Then, substitutions and domination. Some chances created, some chances missed. Defeat. More boos.Clarke wanted a win, but he didn't get it. If he couldn't get a win he'd have reluctantly taken a draw, but all he got was huff and puff.
It wasn't supposed to be like this. After Amsterdam on Friday, the Scotland players lined up one-by-one and said that 4-0 was unacceptable, that their collapse from 2-0 was not who they are, that they needed to get back to the best version of themselves and quickly. The 4-1 against France? Come on, it was France. And that defensive four were missing again. What else could you expect? The 2-0 loss to Spain. Decent passages in that one. The 3-1 against England. Not good, but not all that relevant.
The last football Patterson has played for Everton were the nine minutes against Fulham at the end of January. Patterson looked precisely what he is - a rusty player lacking confidence.
