Watched it back again yesterday and on reflection the game wasn't as bad as I thought in the heat of the moment of Friday night.
Scotland deserved the point and played well.
John Stones really should score from that header he put against the post.
Southgate's plan of playing 2 holding midfielders backfired on Friday and we were back to being far too defensive, looking for that sideways/backwards pass rather than trying to create and go forward.
So much attacking talent in the squad but Kane has to be poorest of the lot out of our 2 games, Sterling despite scoring against Croatia isn't far behind him. Surely the likes of DCL, Grealish, Rashford and Sancho must be chomping at the bit to get a start on Tuesday although Southgate has already confirmed Kane will start.
Speaking of Tuesday, do we all think it'll play out to be a draw?
The group winners would play second in Group F which is could be Germany, Portugal or France where as 2nd in our Group would play 2nd in Group E which could be any of Sweden, Slovakia, Spain or Poland
