100%. They were average, we were really poor.

Apart from the keeper, nobody deserved more than a 6/10

A lot of overreacting, we were average and Scotland played the game of their life. Think Southgate has a lot to think about to be honest. If we top the group, jobs still a goodun. Improvement needed against Czech, for sure.

Scotland never played the game of their life , are our egos that big ?

They didn't even have to put that hard a shift in

This is a real problem Southgate has, we play so passively when we are clearly superior to the opposition. He has to let the shackles off against crap like Scotland

this is the point.

we won’t play another game like that, that was a one-off. We will look massively different next game. It’s not right that we weren’t as fired up against a smaller nation as we are v better teams, but that’s our mentality for you.

Souness getting arsey that people don't think that Scotland were great. They weren't great at all. England were crap, but pretending that Scotland were much better than us is wrong.

We aren't better against better teams because if we were we would have atleast reached a final since 66

He scored the winner in the first game, wasn’t that great tonight, but he’s been immeasurably better than Kane, Mount and Foden in the first 2 games.

Just don’t get the hate.

better isn’t the same as winning. Hence our history of glorious defeats.

It reminded me of watching a Chris Coleman team, same boring, negative tactics, and the ability to ruin good players

Dogpiss that was. Kane looks miles off it, at least we can switch it up with the plethora of striking options he’s taken.

If that match doesn't seriously worry you about where this manager is taking the team then I don't know what to say .

That team is way off where it should be

No intensity or real attempt to win the game. Too cautious and timid. Southgate was happy to take a point and instilled a negative mindset in his players. He wants to progress by low risk approaches to games.

part of the problem is I don’t believe he knows his best starting 11

kane cannot start next match- he’s utterly off form.

Foden coming off was just weird

Interesting comment from Southgate that the players aren’t used to this type of pressure. Majority of them compete at the top of the Premier League, CL finals, FA Cup finals…

It was hard to identify any discernible plan other than hope for Scotland to score an own goal, they weren't made to break sweat tonight. It was worse than our 0-0 at home to Wycombe

Lost any hope I had for the tournament. We'll be out second round no matter who we play.

I think Southgate calculated that a high intensity game was too unpredictable.
He feared a bad injury, sending off or soft penalty against. You could say he bottled it. You could say he took the low road to getting out of the group unscathed.
