I can't believe it to be honest. They could have had 3 or 4 goals. Some heroic blocks by the Czech defenders and keeper.
Day 4: Scotland vs Czech Republic | Poland vs Slovakia | Spain vs Sweden
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
Think England will comfortably win. Scotland are really bad defending crosses for a start as we saw again today so fancy England to score two headers from set pieces so will be just like World cup again, might put some money on Mings scoring which will please many on here.
McTominay hasn't played well but he's shackled here
He's not a centre back. One of his biggest strengths are his runs into the box which Ole and the staff need him to do more of. I'm not saying he should be starting every week for us but he's clearly a good squad player and usually turns up for the big games.
The subs need to be starting in their next game.
He never started as CB, he started as a DM in front of the defence. In which he's been shocking to say the least. But yes Clarke is an idiot, playing him in that position when he's got Gilmour on the bench.
If Southgate doesn't play an actual left back to attack and get forward then he's a complete fool.Think England will comfortably win.

Do you watch the game he only moved him there in the second half because he was horrible all game in midfield..
Deserve to be level, at least.
Forrest should have just smashed that at goal..
Scotland are so unlucky, but then again some of the finishing has been a bit pants.
Mctom has been absolutely useless
Surely you should play McGinn and Gilmour at 6 then use Mctominay further forward?
If they had a proper striker it would have been tied right now.
So many nearly moments for Scotland.
Should've played Gilmour and pushed McTominay forward. I'm not sure why people think he's a DM.
Ibra-lite would be good if not injured that much
Scotland definitely can feel unlucky today. So many chances, garbage finishing and then 2 brilliant finishes from Schick proving the difference.
McTominay doesn't have the positional awareness or passing ability to play as a DM or controlling midfielder. He's a box to box option only.
He's very hard working and will tackle and harry all day long. But his technical abilities are below the standard required at the highest level.

Good save
There is difference between staying home and being almost on the edge of the centre circle.
Every other centre mid in our squad
He isn’t a CB and he isn’t a DM. His biggest asset is driving forward with the ball. I have no idea why he’s being played the way he is.
Supposedly, Schick has a heart condition that made him fail his Juventus medical.
Absolutely dreadful posting
Ref has given most of the decisions to the Czech's
I started watching from the second half. I didnt know he played midfield in the first, I am basing my opinion on the second half and the many matches I watched him playing at CB.
McGinn should be playing as the number 10 just to run onto stuff going into the box. He's actually got a good scoring record in last 12 months for Scotland.
Seems because we've played him as an 8 in last 12 months Scotland decided he has to go there aswell.
He's B2B. More an 8.
Scotland are unlucky to lose this match tbh
Czezhs will be a tougher opposition then Croatia.
Been a good game this. Scotland unlucky.
Agree, they really should have at least 2 goals.
Same guy thinks Bruno’s shite..
That's on Steve Clarke, such a negative lineup
I’ve noticed refs being very inconsistent in this tournament.
Must be a troll
Thats true but even when he was in a position to driving he couldn't at all. He showed no quality on the ball at all.
Yeah. His subs have been better than his starting players
It is not bad luck to have worse attackers and keeper.
