Scotland Squad v England


Recommended Posts

To be honest you do forget they are Celtic players during games like that.

 

Dont think we would have scored from open play if we played another 90 minutes but it was two worldly free kicks but the lack of concentration after that showed the lack of quality. Amazing how one minute you would take a own goal to get a draw then a few minutes later it feels like a defeat.

 

Its by far the worst England team since Ive been watching football, them getting beat in the last two tournaments isnt such a surprise now. They will still get through this group by being ugly but as soon as they come up against good opposition they will be beat easily. Poor keeper, defence and midfield. And manager!

John Motson's all time combined England and Scotland XI. Interesting.

 

Peter Shilton

 

Danny McGrain Bobby Evans Bobby Moore Roger Byrne

 

Jimmy Johnstone Paul Gascoigne Jim Baxter Bobby Charlton

 

Jimmy Greaves Denis Law

 

Bobby Evans? Good wing half and decent centre half in his latter days but better than Young, Woodburn, Wright, Charlton, Terry and umpteen others never in a madman's dream.

 

One of the wingers has to be Tom Finney but otherwise fair enough except this eleven is better.

 

Seaman

 

Armfield

Wright

Woodburn

Caldow

 

Finney

Greig

Dalglish

Edwards

 

Reilly

Shearer

 

I didn't pick Baxter, Charlton or Greaves because they're already in Motson's team.

 

That's Alan, not Bobby Shearer btw.

Seaman is an interesting pick! Certainly a world class keeper but Leighton and Goram were probably better for me. But He was the best English keeper Ive seen - ahead of Shilton.

 

Obviously a generation thing which is great. Im a tad too young to have Souness and Dalglish. I remember them but would be fake putting them in based on other opinions.

 

For me, Id have to switch to a 3-5-2 as the centre half options are incredible.

 

Goram

 

McLeish Gough Adams

 

Lambert

Gerrard Gascoigne Scholes Cooper

 

Shearer Rooney

I thought Brown was his usual disgraceful self tonight - should have been off the park.

Second free kick that we Scored from was a terrible dive.

2 fantastic free kicks from the racist.

Horrendous goalkeeping from Kung fu Gordon.

Poor performance from England.

Strachan hangs in there by the skin of his teeth unfortunately again.
