England v Scotland | Euro 2020 Group Stage

The only thing I learned tonight was how white are Graeme Souness’s teeth? I had to turn the brightness down on my tv.

Get Southgate sacked. Fucking useless.

Painful to watch , it was West Brom v Fulham standard. Mount gets pass marks.

Agreed. Your midfield is strong with Gilmour and the potential for Tierney or Robertson to step in and create lots of chances but who will score the goals? Perhaps you should play the false number 9 formation. You never know. It might work.

Problem with that is imo it requires a few runners with some pace around the false 9 which happens to be the other department we're lacking in. It's a hard situation and I think Steve Clarke is excellent but he does find it difficult to set up a side to be on the front foot, it's very much a case of being solid defensively and making the most of any attacking situation you get, I fancy his sides more in the bigger games than some of the so called lesser sides where we're maybe expected to win.

Don't know why Foden got subbed tonight btw. He looked like the one England player who was always getting on the ball and looking to make things happen, I'd love for Scotland to have an attacking talent like that coming through.

I genuinely think Scotland will beat Croatia. After seen Croatia in the first two games they were poor, Surely Scotland will fancy themselves to turn them over.
First game against the Czechs I think the occasion got to them, Far more settled and professional performance tonight. Good way to be heading into a massive game.

Englishman Che Adams and the big Aussie Dyke did well up top for the Haggis/deep fried Mars bar munchers.A deserved point

Southgate is a fraud the semi final in the World Cup was just basically a fluke,this tournament you can see how much out of his depth Southgate is,even Scotland had a structure to their team..

 

[inbetween]

Painful to watch, last ditch defending, no midfield, Kane outmarked and forwards all completely ineffective.

We have the arty, fancy players going forwards but we still and have always lacked that world class anchor in midfield.

It's not surprising though because it isn't like kids are taught how to dictate play, it's all kick and rush and going for glory.

 

[bluwes]

Did we ever find out why he wasn't even on the bench ?

Had two brass booked back at his place

 

[mat]

Imagine what those players could do if they didn't have an EFL standard manager?

He's gonna be there for years as the FA love him. More national talent wasted.

The English Wenger without the talent.
