England v Scotland | Euro 2020 Group Stage

I wouldn’t start Lingard, might not even play him at all, but I’d have had him in the squad.

We as a set of fans properly undervalue Henderson. He’s a much better player than we give him credit for. Klopp’s an annoying fucker, but he’s no fool when it comes to players and he’s not made him captain and kept him in the team throughout his tenure for nothing.

Where’s Ings n’all?!

Fair point about Lingard in the squad but I just can't stand Henderson as a player and a person. Made me laugh when they went on about him as Captain lifting "trophy after trophy" he's won two proper ones in his years at the Dippers, well overhyped.

For me England should not play Possession football should play more direct and pick up the second balls with Foden Sterling Kane Mount Grealish Sancho we have the players to score! Against teams like Scotland we should of played basketball type football it make it more open but you make a lot more chances plus more space to play in..

Pickford, Walker, Stones, Maguire, Chilwell, Phillips, Foden, Grealish, Mount, Sancho, Kane/DCL.

Ah the population ruse. The best card a small country has to play. A win win even when you lose and your best players play abroad. Nothing to lose really, play with no pressure as an underdog - remember Sparta!

Whatever man, our game gets shat on at every opportunity, treated with disdain and funded in relative pennies in comparison. Last night was a reminder that it's not all bad.

Croatia have a population smaller than Scotland and have produced some fantastic football teams.

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

Must be a Liverpool thing

My suspicious thoughts are that no one wants to finish top in this group. Had England beaten Scotland they would likely finish top of the group. Top of group D vs 2nd group F which would likely be France, Germany or Portugal. (England's possible end of comp). Therefore the target is to finish second. Group D 2nd vs Group E 2nd. would be much easier route against Poland, Sweden or Slovakia if Spain win the group, I would have thought.
Yesterday Croatia with no points played out a timid draw with Czech Republic. Croatia now have to beat Scotland at Hampden to go through.
Perhaps my thinking is just a load of suspicious bollocks ;-)

Nothing much will change like the commentators said we are a 1-0 side shame really because with the likes of Kane, Grealish ,Foden etc you should be going out to batter teams

It's not all bad as you say. Last night you played a a spirited team that certainly put a shift in. If it was a boxing match I'd have given it to you on points

You've got more grit than a snowplough MP, face like one too; )

You and that fucking camera you have in here. Can't argue with the face thing, but focus on the hair. I've told you that hunners a times.
