t football as much as this before.Two games now we’ve started solid, really solid looking, we then go off the boil.
Questionable subs, like taking foden off the other game when he was out best player, and then again today removing Sac and grealish.
The thing is I feel were more vulnerable when we’re playing the way G.S seems to be pushing them

Seems more suited to a Borstal than a football team
Borstal?How old are you?
Phillips wasn't in the game much tonight, midfield generally got left out of it by Maguire and the rest of the defence slowing the game down and/or going backwards from promising positions, followed by Pickford hoofing possession away.

The bitterness in the rivalry works both ways.
English fans hating the Scots, though...why? Because they don't give you respect or something? Or just because England are dull you have to hate something? It's a bit like if Liverpool fans hated Tranmere Rovers fans. A bit pointless.
Whilst England were dire in the 2nd half, and I dont think the performances today really sorted out what our best 11 or best system actually are, it should not be forgotten that "defense wins championships".
Even with the scrambles and falling over in the 6 yard box, we kept a clean sheet, Pickford looks solid, and our players are actually used to scrappy pinball defending since its the PL week in and week out.
We'll see if they can stand up to anyone with quality.

Not sure I understand your analogy? Stevie Wonder is a genius at his art. A sublime songwriter, singer and multi-talented musician... Southgate is what... 
Masterblaster was last great thing Stevie Wonder did over 40 years ago!!
Talking Book, Innervisions, Fulfillingness' First Finale were all 45-50 years ago, still a genius though. Or is the suggestion that Southgate was a genius in his playing days 40 years ago!

If it was purely sporting I'd sit and cheer on the other home nations. But it's not so I don't.

The good news is, this time next week, Southgate should be out of a job and we can get someone in who can get the most out of what is a really good bunch of young players, ready for the World Cup.
It's win win. Either we exceed expectations and have a great tournament in the end (unlikely) or Southgate relieves us of his dourness.

Nope, the FA will back him in his glorious loss.He is the PR mans dream manager.
