Under pressure now.

What a shite goal

Gayle's been sloppy so far.

Ritchie and Gouff have swapped flanks.

Shelvey with two outrageous passes to Gayle.

Agree fully although my lifetime is less than yours. Just don't see on what basis most of the players are rated. For example a lot of the Spurs players look good in the PL but go to the Champions League and they're getting beat by very average teams like Monaco and Leverkusen. Compared to most of the 00's, when you had a good few world class players proven at the latter stages of the Champions League your squad is really poor now Surely that criticism applies as much to Eriksen, Alderweireld, Lamela, Janssen etc as it does Dier, Alli, Walker and Kane though? Agree with you on the whole, but it's harsh to use the sub-par performances levels of the entire Spurs team as a stick to beat the English contingent with IMO. I didn't mean to make it seem like it was just the English players at Spurs I was criticising. Of course those players are as or more at fault than the English players are and I don't really rate any of them that highly either bar maybe Alderweireld. Was just making the point that I think players can be overrated based on what they do against the likes of Sunderland, West Brom and so on. Fair enough

Genuinely feel a bit sorry for Scotland watching this England have been woeful.

That Scotland side is bloody dreadful. Bench is stronger than the first team.

Dembele is class.

Didn't get a good look at the still image but if the Arsenal player who challenges the Spurs defender is indeed off then it should absolutely have been disallowed. Koscielny - who challenged Wimmer for the ball - was onside; Sanchez was off. Wimmer wouldn't have known that though, and almost certainly felt like he had to get something on the ball as Sanchez was behind him. It's interference IMO but it's difficult.

Desperate to get Gundogan in somehow after his recent hot streak. Seems a bit of a bargain at 5.7m and all.

I think the fact that Clark is left-footed features quite prominently in Rafa's thinking when it comes to picking a partner for Lascelles. As with Mitro, Chancel will get his opportunity in time. He at least appears to be ahead of Hanley in the picking order.

Great header to be fair.

Ozil?

His first goal was the sort of chance he'd hit straight at the keeper last season. Delighted for him.

Mitro Good finish, that.

My goodness. Locatelli puts Milan 1-0 up on Juve with a proper thunderbastard.

Norwich losing.

It's for what he offers tactically - strength & presence in the final third (particularly with Gayle as a lone striker), effective high pressing, legs on the break etc - rather than end product IMO. I reckon he's a starter until at least January where I think we'll look at signing a specialist number 10 and move Diame back to rotate with Hayden and Colback.

That 2nd Norwich penno looked very soft at first glance.

We put six past QPR without Gayle to be fair.

Stekelenburg on the bench

The only exception I can really think of is Townsend. As linear as all the 'cut in and shoot' lark might be, he's one of the few in the England camp who doesn't give a fuck about the occasion and plays his normal game - runs at his man, puts in crosses, shoots from distance.

Daft sub. All of Scotland's attacking play has come through him and Robertson on the left.
