Same. Coulda dragged my fat arse around that pitch and done a better job.

ILoveYou3000 he was questioning why Foden was taken off and why Sancho wasn't brought on

A question we'd all like to know the answer to.

@AgeLikeWine

This has got 0-0 written all over it. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 can’t score, so I expect them to park the bus. If 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Score first, they could dominate.
Well, I got the score right, but for absolutely the wrong reasons.

England were awful. Slow, passive, negative, lethargic. Scotland were outstanding, and if they had a player capable of putting the ball in the net they would have won the game, and deservedly so.

WhiteHartLane · 19/06/2021 07:37

Well played Scotland excellent performance.
Very disappointed in England, very poor performance and I'm really disappointed with Kane - on this form he doesn't deserve to start Tuesday.

I'll only get to watch the late game today but I am hoping for wins for Hungary/Germany/Spain.

NoisyBrain · 19/06/2021 08:52

Last night’s performance was like watching a mid-table league game at the end of the season.

If I’m being very charitable, maybe if our early off-the-post chance had gone in the team might have raised their game a bit.

Pickford is the only one who deserves any real credit imo. Pains me to say it but I agree Kane is well out of sorts.

Yes and I have a number of other questions too.

It should have been Sterling for Grealish, and Grealish should have been given a free role behind the striker.

If Kane was to come off (and I agree not at his best) should have been for Calvert-Lewin to give someone to aim at, when we know Grealish can create (when in his preferred role) and will win set pieces.

I want to like Gareth Southgate and I respect he got us to a World Cup semi final but I just don’t think he utilises the squad properly. We have some genuinely amazing attacking talent - and he plays Rice and Phillips for 90 minutes and leaves Sancho on the bench? Was he happy with a draw maybe because otherwise that makes no sense. It was just all so slow and he left 2 defensive midfielders on.

Well done to Scotland. I don’t think they deserved to win necessarily as I think we had as many chances as they did (I think a draw was fair), but they played like they wanted it. As a team they were greater than the sum of their parts and we were less. I expect they’ll do well against Croatia and qualify.

MrsGulDukat · 19/06/2021 09:23

Gareth does make some strange decisions and it didnt pay off last night.

ZingDramaQueenOfSheeba · 19/06/2021 09:40

We missed 1st half of game last night, queued for 2 hours to get jab and they didn't have a priority lane for football fans!😱🤣🤣🤣

seems I didn't miss much.
well done Scotland for getting a point, England go & sit on the naughty step!

looking forward to Hungary game, thanks @WhiteHartLane & others for support!
I was so proud of them on Tuesday, I'm so willing them to score today.

have a lovely morning, see you at 2pm!

DuncinToffee · 19/06/2021 10:45

I will miss most of the games today but go mighty Magyars!
