Commentators saying the Kane sub is “interesting “ as if it shouldn’t be happening. No need for the media to be asking that. Watching the same game as the rest of us. He’s off 55 minutes later than he should’ve been.

Could’ve been a penalty but frankly England don’t deserve it anyway.

******** never a penalty. Maybe in the Premier league but not with decent continental officials.

Let’s just take a moment to remember that the jocks have Grant Hanley at the heart of their defence.

Grant Hanley. And we still don’t look remotely like scoring.

If this was your first ever watch of a football match and you didn’t know which team was which you’d think Scotland were the highest ranked team - they’re playing well

Not only does he take Foden off he then sticks Grealish on the wing. Clueless

I'd love to know how Southgate is going to spin this in his interview, Ali Campbell & Dom Cummings combined would struggle to put a positive slant on this s^^tshow.

Southgates master plan to avoid the big guns in the last sixteen comes easily to fruition.

Pedestrian passing , no urgency going forward.
Ffs did James actually make one forward run or pass in the match, certainly not in the second half. Every time he got the ball in their half he passed it back.
Were we playing Brazil with that game plan? 😡

Just really poor tactically by England, no bravery or belief, repetitive useless short corners. And a slowness that has to be believed in go forward, Fair play. to Scotland they have just kept it in front of them..bang average England side.. totally wasted generation again

This. Wonderfully talented group of individuals but Southgate. What was he thinking? They were always going to raise their game but should be still beating them. Poor.

Got to feel sorry for Kane though, what are we doing to get him scoring opportunities? I don't understand what the game plan is? All our attacking midfielders threaten a run in behind, check, ball comes out and goes sideways. So easy to defend.

I think he said Harry kabe was ansolute nollocks.

I thought luke Shaw was about the best England player. Tried to go forward. Popped up in attacking positions unexpectedly and didn't stand still and expect Scotland to allow the easy forward ball which didn't come.
Otherwise they seemed to have half a team of Willian's. Stopping still to let the defence get back in position.

Next game we need to drop Kane and replace him with Calvert Lewin. I keep harping on about Sterling but apart from his pace he’s a bloody awful footballer.

It doesn't matter who you have up front, Kane is one of the best finishers in the world. But in this team he can't do his job.

I actually thought he did well. He's organising, calling , bollocking people for not pulling their weight. One of our better players tonight.

Mount Sterling and Foden did ok too but needed more width with them.

Sadly both full backs were on bungee rope I think. Shaw was better 2nd half but he would have struggled to be worse.

It was like 5 against 11 there there were so many passengers
