Some really good young and hard working players in that team though. Best it’s looked on paper for a decade if you ask me.
They’ve been really poor tonight what I’ve seen. Should be blowing teams like Israel away at hampden. Seem to be missing Tierney, and Christie especially.
From the Daily Record live text: "Scotland fans asking if the pubs can stay open past 10pm tonight but with the Scotland game switched off." https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/scotland-vs-israel-live-score-22814722
I thought Scotland played well. They had more urgency and could have nicked it late on. I think Paterson has raw ability and is a good focal point for attacks but he gives away too many easy free-kicks and needs to curb that side of his game a bit as it lets the opposition off the hook.
The results keep flattering Southgate, he's awful tactically. Playing 3 CDMs in last game before this for example. Needs sacking and a good attacking coach brought in. This England team is entering another golden generation and could be wasted just to have a coach who is inoffensive and boring.
Basically wanted the man least likely to cause scandal after Fat Sam embarrassed them. So picked a boring yes man who can't even decide what style of football he plays, has no track record as a coach and was fired from every job prev except as England youth coach where basically no one is sacked.
