Yep, far too pedestrian with the ball.

He's got foden on the wrong side , he's got us playing far too slowly , there's very limited movement in midfield .

Poor so far

This has 0-1 all over it continuing with such a negative approach at home to shite like Scotland

Not committing enough forward. Keep getting Kane on his own in the box with 4/5 Scottish defenders. Then 3 Vs 3 around the edge of the box. This is Scotland we're playing not one of the top sides..
Way too passive

Greasy Grealish for Sterling and perhaps more controversially Calvert-Lewin for Kane (watch him score now.)

Want to see Grealish second half to smarten up our attacks, these rushing little dinks from Mount are crap. We’ve not played with any rhythm at all.

Not troubling Scotland enough and giving adams and dikes too much room. Grealish needed to make something happen

Look at how Italy played - direct and intense.

We’re languid. We need to take the game to them. We’re clearly better than them just force the game.

Not the best 45 minutes I have ever seen. Expect Scotland to start to slow down in the second half.

Poor half. Way too slow moving the ball. Way too slow getting forward. We’ve got options though. Grealish should get on. I’d also look at Sancho or Bellingham as an early sub.

Showing far too much respect to crap teams and trying to play out from the back on a pitch that’s had constant rain all day. Kane probably needs dropping tbh

Only one team going in at HT patting themselves on the head for that first half performance - and it will be to their detriment.
We'll stick four past them second half.

You see when Italy, France and the Netherlands have the ball, their passing and movement is so fluid, it stretches teams.When we have the ball, it's like we're playing in treacle. It's so slow, laboured, all it does it give the opposition the opportunity to get numbers behind the ball.

Poor performance so far.

Front three have been poor. Time for Grealish, maybe for Phillips/Rice and drop Mount deeper.

Potentially look at Sancho (although he’s poor for England) or Rashford for Sterling at some point too.

Kane is non-existent but DCL is poor so we can’t really change him.

That was pretty poor. Far too slow in possession, not pressing with much intensity either.

Both James's and Mount have been pretty anonymous, Kane has been poor he hasn't had a chance in 3 halves of the football so far this tournament.

For me I'd get Grealish on for Mount, and Calvert-Lewin on for Kane. But you can guarantee Henderson and Rashford will get on first unless there's an injury.

Why is Sterling even on the pitch, he's lost the ball about 3 times and done nothing to help the team change him for Freakish for the second half

Gash and why I don't like Southgate. Far too cautious. Where is all that creative talent we're supposed to have? Can Harry Kane play centre forward anymore? Grealish on and pass the ball quicker. James and Shaw attack them Ggrrr

I see Braveheart is on channel 5 at ten to send all the defeated fans off to byebyes in a suitable mood .
It will work with either outcome .
As Willie Wallace is quartered the tears will flow and off they'll go, or for England we can revel in the custom of Prima Nocta.
