Was Hickeys man
McTominay needs to pick him up. He's right next to him to begin with then the lad pulls him off and McTominay is sleeping. Then he gets done with the ball over his head. No way should a small full back be left to pick up a big target man like that in an aerial duel.

This is the same Ukraine England annihilated?

They look dominant and away from home too with limited preparation.

Fair play!

I think Italy might have dethroned Greece as the worst European champions of all time.

How in the hell did they win the euro

For those few souls who are advocating for McTominay to be our Captain next season.
ARE YOU WATCHING THIS?

Now I agree the rest are garbage too including the superstar Robbo but this is the CAF so there is relevance.

Because England are bottlers and Southgate is a clown who decided to sit back for 100 minutes after scoring the first goal.

I don't rate the Scotland manager at all, the football has always been turd and they've just lucked out some results.

Who in their right mind plays Mctominay as a CB? Just because he's tall? His best attributes are that he's energetic and puts himself about in midfield, and that he can make forward runs and get the occasional goal. He's not great at passing so by what logic does he get put in a 3 ATB?

Did the same thing v Croatia at the World Cup. Although I'd argue that Croatia side were better than England anyway. The Italy one definitely wasn't better.

They are missing Insinge, Beradi and Chiesa?

Locatelli and Spinazola both on the bench.
Are those guys really THAT much of a difference ? The team is absolute shite

They can be an extremely good side, their lack of a clinical striker screwed them over in the qualification.

Today they've just not turned up.

Such a poor game from us. All the energy that got us to the Euros is gone.

I could forgive the players a little as they had to deal with something a little bit psychologically different (not just a WC playoff but against this specific opponent) but this has been a poor showing no matter who you’re playing.

Playing a midfielder whose positional sense is basically a copy of a schoolboy following the ball around at break time?

I honestly can't believe Scott McTominay is playing in a back three.

Mind-boggling, and frightening.
