One has to laugh if not to cry. The only thing funnier is the mass ejaculation over the most half-arsed 0-0 draw in creation

The moment he gets on the ball the opposition look scared and they know they’re either going to draw a foul or he creates a chance. It’s also noticeable how they have to change how they play and mark.

I have doubts whether his skill set is suited to a better team, lot of the things he’s good at for Villa aren’t needed for England

Southgate wouldn't get a job managing a Championship team, how he is leading the International team is beyond me.

Rubbish, they've got a few other well established players who either play in the top flight or could do.

You were comparing Uganda v Scotland with England v Scotland. One is a local derby, one isn't

I wasn't actually. COV was saying that England thinking they should beat a team like Scotland because they have better players than them is arrogant and why everyone hates us.

My point was, regardless of local derby, Scotland fans would have exactly thr same expectations if they were playing a team of a similar rankings difference.

And Grealish is a great player for Villa but in his 30 minutes today or whatever it was offered little apart from winning free kicks in his own half. Would have been great for Scotland, not so for England
Click to expand...

Thought he did alright, how often do you see him pull it back to the edge of the box for a midfielder to have a strike at Villa, did the exact same thing tonight and the midfield were 10 yards behind play, the team is so disjointed and slow in the build up.

Make your mind up, either Scotland are shit and full of championship players in which case their celebrations are justified or their celebrations are over the top in high case they must be half decent?

kNeither of our full backs attacked Scotland, Love to see the statistics on how often Reece James passed backwards, and how many sideways back passes we played versus forward passes. Everything so slow, When you look at the talent we do have it's frustrating. for me though, when he finally got Grealish on the pitch, but took off Foden was the moment I decided I had had enough of Southgate. Fear of failure driving his decisions. Far too conservative.

They have Adams who plays for Southampton albeit not a regular goalscorer, Gilmour at Chelsea, Hanley just promoted with Norwich. McGregor at Celtic too

Gilmour was making his debut, Hanley is over the hill and the SPL is not comparable to the EPL. Gilmour could be a top player one day, not yet.

Southgate out. How can he honestly be expected to take this England team forward after the Euros

Why did he change a winning team? What did Walkern and Tripper do wrong?

Sterling scored against Croatia, fair enough. Why was he not subbed when he was are worst player?

Foden had the most flair, why was he subbed for Grealish and not Sterling?

Why was Kane subbed for Rashford? Should've been for Calvert-Lewin, Rashford better on the wing for me so should've been subbed for Sterling

Sterling should now not be near our starting 11

Fucking awful! Well done Scotland, deserved to win

gilmour just had a great game, we all watched it, so kind of invalidates the argument he’s not a top player yet

One game against a terrible England side doesn't make anyone a top player
