Why don't linesmen raise their flags for offside immediately nowadays?

one of the great side effects of VAR

can always be given off when reviewed, cant be brought back if flagged off when it wasnt and given the chance to score

 

[toyboy54]

Scotland team has been leaked.

Bit out of date are you not???....Williamalex1 sent me this on Tues and has been in the daillies

 

[fundy]

awful turgid stuff again, full backs too deep plus 2 holding midfielders, no width further forward and Kane utterly isolated, be behind if Pickford hadnt made a top class save

yes im moaning but if you think its coming home with Southgate in charge just rofl, no doubt we'll have controlled the game better than any other side in the round when we scratch a 1-0 2nd half

come on Levy, surely Southgates the man for your vacancy

 

[toyboy54]

If Scotland lose, will the SNP demand a rematch?

Probably ( They do nothing else anyway)

 

[BrianM]

Scrappy half which Scotland probably shaded, although Stones should of buried that header.
Expected more from England playing at home.

We are only playing with one defensive midfielder. Philips is playing as far forward as Mount.
The problem is the speed of the ball out of defence.

 

[Piece]

That was rubbish from England. Too slow on the ball, going backwards, no urgency. No one picking up Adams in the pocket and no high pressure. Scotland cruising. Bored shouting at the TV.

 

[clubchamp98]

Far to slow.

Sideways and back passes when on the attack and ,missing your chances
Stones got to score there.
Why isn’t Grealish playing

 

[harpo_72]

They need to one touch pass , Bale broke the line with fast reverse passes .. not seen any of that from England

 

[Tashyboy]

Like Ave said, we are hardly in second gear with the handbrake on. The problem is not the players. It’s the golden waistcoat. I don’t care if we win 5-0 now. Southgate is reactive not proactive. Seriously, 2 defensive midfielders v Scotland.

We need to speed play up not slow it down.
Bellingham for Sterling and anyone for Kane.
I'd have Tripper on for Shaw too.

Don't get why James got in place of tripper ..

Grealish will make things happen. Win a lot of free kicks aswell which would be a chance at least

I was going to go for slow, lacklustre and boring but I think your word "turgid" is better. Can only blame the manager. He must be happy with what he's seeing or he'd be changing things or at the least shouting from the technical area.

 

[4LEX]

This is why Southgate gets stick. Great man manager but tactically clueless and way too negative.

The formation is built for the full backs and James and Shaw were embarrassing. Switch to 433 and bring on Bellingham and Sancho.

 

[IanM]

Scotland playing nicely....

Barry Kane isn't as good as his twin brother is he?

 

[Pin-seeker]

Get Sterling off ffs ?‍

 

[fundy]

lol, that you take Foden off of the options
