Why was they so deep, worrying about Crappy Scotland scoring rather than going at them, pressing them and we would have just beat them.

Why was they passing back constantly too? I hear Reece James is fast, strong, can cross, alls he did was turn round and go back every single time even when he had space.

Done my head in
 
The problem with England is that the each of the players are all far too specialized in their own role on the park. As a squad they clearly don't work enough (or at all) on their all round game in training, and it painfully shows in the matches where you will never see an England player try to do something creative or unexpected.
 
Scotland just wanted it much more than England, no one took any responsibility for England.

For all the hype this team looked very average especially when compared to the likes of Portugal, Italy, France who actually care when playing for their nation
Well they needed the 3 points after losing their opener, draw suited us more, and that's what Gareth set up to do to be safe and not loose.
 
Love Kane as a footballer but he's either not fit or not suiting the system.

Again, symptom of a terrible manager. Afraid of reputations, not managing the game. I'd be gutted if Southgate was the Everton manager.

No one was near him. Fullbacks and sitting midfielders tonking it down the line for him to chase.

No one ran past him. Foden and Sterling hovered inside wide positions, never broke into the box. Mount was either picking the ball up from 2 sitting players that weren't needed, had zero to see in front of him.

I've said before, look at Holland. Set up how Southgate wants England to set up but they have faith in the system. Southgate is too pragmatic to even attempt an attacking team which is that squads strength
 
I should state, full full credit to Scotland, didn’t let the occasion overawe them for the most part, if they put that level in on Tuesday in front of a bouncing Hampden then they might just pull off a win
