I could not believe my eyes when I saw Phil going off Southgate took off the only player with any flare or imagination, anyone that believes England can win ant tournament with Southgate as manager is deluded
You never told me you were Scottish, I'll let you off this time, but don't ever be Scottish again:)Apologies to those posters that I debated with that Southgate wasn't that bad. Hands up, I was 100% wrong and last night opened my eyes to the fact he is utterly clueless when faced with a footballing problem. England were emphatically outplayed and outthought by Scotland. Let that sink in. Now I am as proud of my country as any Scot but there is no way on gods good earth we should have lived with England given the talent available.
Pulling Phil when he was clearly the only threat England had must have been the worst in a long line of bad decisions. Two defensive midfielders against Scotland? Wtf? A gaping space where central midfield should have been. Bloody hell, England made Gilmour in his first international look like prime time Kante.
I know Pep will make more of Greilish and Kane but oh dear, think themselves lucky they are not being judged on last night.
Big improvements required if England are to go deep in this competition. Scotland will fail bravely (being Scotland).
LolYou never told me you were Scottish, I'll let you off this time, but don't ever be Scottish again:)

I'm working on them right now.Enjoy it pal. When does the commemorative 0-0 DVD and T-shirts go on sale? ;)
I was kicking my height when he took off young Foden. I love him as a player, everytime the wee **** got the ball my arse was going like a rabbits nostrils. Couldn't work out why he was taken off, but, by fuck was I happy to see it.Southgate tactics.
Right its not working, I will take off our best attacking player Foden. Put on Grealish in left wing. Switch the left winger to right wing.
Shit that's hasnt worked I will take of Kane cos he has been shit and put on St Marcus who is so fucking lazy but what else can I do ?
Well Southgate how about taking Kane of first pushing Sterling central, Grealish on left wing Foden on the right.
And getting rid of one of the DM and attack.
7 defensive players for the whole 90 minutes !
