Scotland head coach Sebastien Pocognoli is facing questions over whether to change goalkeepers after his side's 3-0 defeat to Switzerland, according to analysis by the BBC's Andy Burke.

The loss has put a spotlight on the performance of goalkeeper Angus Gunn, whose display against the Swiss has prompted debate over whether Pocognoli should turn to an alternative option between the posts for Scotland's upcoming fixtures.

The BBC report does not detail the specific goals or incidents that led to scrutiny of Gunn's performance, but frames the question as one of the key selection decisions facing Pocognoli as he continues to shape his squad and tactical approach since taking charge of the national team.

Goalkeeping competition has been a recurring theme in the Scotland setup in recent years, with the position seen as one of the more closely contested roles in the squad. A heavy defeat such as the 3-0 loss to Switzerland often intensifies scrutiny of individual performances across the team, including that of the goalkeeper, as coaching staff assess personnel ahead of subsequent matches.

Pocognoli has not publicly commented, as reported by the BBC, on whether he intends to make a change in goal for Scotland's next fixture. Analysts following the national team say the decision will likely factor into broader discussions about squad selection as the team looks to respond to the result against Switzerland.
