There are several other players from the starting line up against Ukraine who are not starting tonight so I don't see how you have arrived at that conclusion.

Have you even thought, that it may have been a tongue in cheek comment. A sense of humour can be helpful.

Yes but the player at whom it was aimed gets so much unpleasant abuse, like getting booed by so called supporters, that I doubt it was tongue in cheek.

he`s part of southgate clique,along with phillips and henderson,crucially the man that matters,ten haag,he thinks he`s crap,so i`ll go with his expert opinion

[Andy]

1-0.

I know it's hard to judge in a friendly and against such poor opposition, but we've looked pretty decent so far.

[simongarnerisgod]

robertson having a mare,has given the ball away countless times and now gives it to bellingham in the six yard box,my mum would have put that it by the way😉

[K-Hod]

Very comfortable so far, surprised how poor Scotland have been tbf. Particularly when you consider how well they’ve done in qualifying!

[K-Hod]

Tell you what though, Bellingham is some player. I remember people taking the piss out of Birmingham for retiring his shirt number. Brum not looking so silly now, eh?

(The last bit is tongue in cheek, btw).

Perhaps we are the first team they've played recently who are good enough to make them look poor.

[Andy]

Bellingham has been good, but so has Foden.

If the other lads were on his wavelength, we score at least another 2 in that half.

Why does Southgate play the best lineup when it’s a friendly that doesn’t matter in the great scheme of things, but picks a boring sideways/ backwards lineup when it does matter? He’s a total f**kwit.

Kane being on his toes rather than his heels, towards the end of the second half and he’s got a tap in.

[chaddyrovers]

Excellent from England and Southgate has got his tactics spot on again.

Ten Haag expert? That made me laugh. 

Maguire is playing cos his England form is good. Phillips showing why he playing and why he is playing for City. Sadly for him he is only squad player there

@roverandout

So sorry for the loss of your dad. I am 73 but think of my dad everyday although he died 36 years ago. It doesn’t matter how long ago it’s still the man who made you what you are. Keep him in your memory always.

Of course Chaddy, but you know what I mean. 
I’ve been going to Hampden since 1960 so Scotland-England has a meaning to me for sure.

Is Maguire better than any other centre halves at United though? Christ, even Lindelof gets in ahead of him these days.

The final insult was surely Shaw playing ahead of him at centre half last season.
