I don't know enough about this team but the media always blame the managers and have done for years, without really questioning that the players are nowhere near as their hype

Stunningly dull game. 4 points from 6 is fine but plenty to worry about in the performance - although I'm sure we'll still manage to overreact and there'll be a public enquiry about who to drop/guillotine.

Not sure it helps the Scots much either, they'll need to best Croatia in the final group game. Fair play though, they were obdurate and had the better chances, Stones header aside.

England have a lot of talent. Maybe Southgate isn't getting the best of it but most international managers are pretty average these days and I don't think he's worse than most. Amount of football played probably doesn't help.

We rightly slaughtered Sheridan week after week because Town hardly had a shot on target.

The pick of England have just managed a single shot on target against the second lowest ranked team in the Euros.

No energy. Hopefully, that will tell Southgate that he needs to change it. Nicking a win from that would have papered over the cracks.

Bunch of very overpaid so called professionals performing as nothing really matters and led by an excuse for a manager.

That's why I rarely watch internationals these days.

England over the years are better when they are the underdog.

Scotland always raise their game against England. Just fortunate that they don't have a quality striker.

Passion?  

This is how I remember it. Football ain't what it used to be.

Yawn fest, too many bang average players down the spine of the team. Mings is never international standard, Rice & Phillips are are also average and offer no creativity. Still can’t see what Southgate offers as a manager, everything is safe, slow and one dimensional and this was typical of him in every high pressure game where he gets found out and is unable to change the game.

We’ve been overhyped as usual but excluding a few decent attacking players we aren’t anything special.

Phillips was man of the match literally one game ago. He wasn't good today, neither was anyone else (bar Pickford, who was excellent. Maybe James). Constant incredible overreactions from England fans are ridiculous.

But isn’t that symptomatic of the problem, he basically got it because of his energy and hard work, there’s no one showing genuine quality and taking control of the game. The Croatia game was equally as dull for the most part.

I'm seeing something very different to most on here.  This was a derby, it tells us very little about the players or the manager as far as how far we can go.  Do this on Tuesday and yes there should be cause for concern.  Right now, I'm relaxed.

Yep. To call Phillips average is odd, he was superb in the first game.

There's some very good players out there, but they're doing what the manager's telling them to do.
