Souness thinks Scotland have had the best chances, apart from Stones missing a free header six yards out.

Poor so far. Was expecting more from James as an attacking threat, surely he is under instructions to go back everytime? Sterling has got in behind a couple of times but his touch has been awful. I’d bring Grealish on the left and there’s an argument for Bellingham too being more dynamic in the middle.

This performance is a reflection of the manager's personality, dull,predictable,slow,safe, unimaginative timid.

Thought it was quite entertaining, really. I'm not sure why they are bigging up Che Adams.

This is playing into the hands of those who tell us we have a good chance in this tournament and that Southgate is a good manager.
Raggy England win coming up and everything is rosy in the Garden.
We need to make Scotland sweat first

Half an hour to go, this is where Southgate needs to use all the experience he gained relegating Middlesbrough (his only club managerial achievement)

I’d have hooked Kane, Sterling and one of Rice or Phillips. Absolute shite.

Grealish is on to win the inevitable penalty, though.

Gilmour's been the best player on the park tonight. And don't forget he's only 20, he'll be some player when he matures.

How bad does Kane have to be before being considered for a substitution?

Foden off. Wrong one…. Kane Sterling and rice been poor.

How can players with this much quality be stifled so much by the instructions given to them? Go out and play lads, express yourself and ffs don’t be scared to lose the ball or be tackled. You’ll get the ball back soon enough.

I genuinely think that’s the plan, to leave Scotland with something to play for to try and stop Croatia progressing. A draw means we’re likely through to last 16 - don’t want to win the group to avoid the “group of death” runners up

I think you’re giving Gareth far too much credit. We could quite easily be behind now.

This. Or even Philips who has also been ineffective.

Bizarre to take off Foden.

The full back choice has been odd too.
