One strange new tactic. At goal kicks Gogic rolls the ball across the six yard box and the goalkeeper kicks it aimlessly up the park normally to the other side. Very odd. Early days but unconvinced by goalkeeper.

No one played badly but no one stuck out either.
The former academy boys (Taylor and Sutherland) were every bit as good as the players they replaced, but I would be surprised if they will get much chance to prove their worth as the season progresses.
Lacovitti came on during the second half but only lasted 5 minutes and came off injured with what looked like a pulled hamstring.
Perhaps Robbo knows his starting eleven for next Thursday but this wasn't obvious based on tonight's performances.
Agree Taylor and Sutherland did well when they came on .

Not a great performance. Two full backs looked alright. Gogic not great but will imp rove. Boy Smith looked very slow. Big lad but slow. Fraser was awful. I know this is hobby horse of mine but he must not Be in the starting eleven. Looks completely done. Olysa nyo apart forwards looked verypoor. Mandro n barely got a kick. Hopefully this was just a pre season run out and we will improve. Not sure why so many full time players look so lacking in fitness. Will need a huge improvement for Thur sday.
Forgot to mention Iocovitty lasted six minutes and went off with what looked like a hamstring injury . See you at Christmas.

Better team won. Spain were the better team throughout the competition. Pundits always go on about Southgates substitutions. Maybe he should just pick the right team.
-
Poor poor match. No-one will try anything. Always the safe pass. First save in th e 45th minute. Spain overpassing and England often going long. England look quite dangerous on the odd occasion they go forward at pace.
-
Spain the Best team in the competition by a mile. Wish they would stop taking their foot off the pedal when a goal up. Enjoyable match. France were more open than they have been up to now such led to a better match.

I guess it’s funny how we all see the game differently,I’d find a place for him most weeks….,Billy Dodds, who had him in his dressing room as a coach, said of all the guys he’d coached he would be his first name on the team sheet. Don’t forget he played out of position for a large part of last season.
I just feel he is a bit one paced and tends to push players in the penalty box. Good backup player but I feel he is not sharp enough to start. All about opinions. He is steady but I think we could do better.

I like Bolton , but getting six figs for a near 30 year old with a year on his contract isn't easy to turn down when we got him for hee-haw a year ago ?
As long as it does not make Fraser a starter this season.
-
Hope not. We look much more secure when he plays.

Always one of my favourite grounds. Looks quite good.

In a game you must win to have no shots on goal was exceptionally poor.
-
Too slow and too predictable. Have to up the pace and try shooting.
-
We will probably become the first team to get 4 points and fail to qualify. It is the Scotland way.

Overall I agree that it was harsh BUT he was, despite Jermaine Jenus saying otherwise, in the line of sight of the goalie.
The bigger problem for me was, as it usually is, the time it took.
He was , if anything, behind t he goalie. I know you are an advocate of VAR but honestly I think you will be in a minority of 1 if you think that was offside.
-
Holland score but VAR chalked it off because of an offside interfering with the goalkeeper who made no attempt to dive. Complete crap.

Holland 0-0 France, half time.
Disappointing overall, in flashes some great play but at other times, well, the passing is woeful.
The Dutch are powderpuff up front and the French overplay it at times.
Like many of these games it needs a goal.
Must say, another very good referee, allowing play to go on wherever possible and no theatrics.
Oh, also VAR has been almost non existent, proving it not VAR that causes some issues, more the people in charge.
Really really boring. Some great skills on show but absolute!y no intent.
-
At least we have kept it alive. Hungary are no mugs. We will see on Sunday.
-
We have done well. Now keep it going for another five minutes. Both sides had chances to win it.
-
We have brought them down to our level. Now finish it.
-
We have got to stop giving the ball away. Most of it is from basic errors in control. Cut out the errors and start pushing forward. Try and get McGinn involved as he had little influence.
-
A much better footballer than many realised. As well as being robust was a fine passer of the ball.
-
1-0. Keeper has to save that.

At the Euros they then played out from the back, not just kicked it upfield.
