England squad announced:

Goalkeepers

Marcus Bettinelli (Fulham), Jack Butland (Stoke City), Alex McCarthy (Southampton), Jordan Pickford (Everton)

Defenders

Trent Alexander-Arnold (Liverpool), Joe Gomez (Liverpool), Harry Maguire (Leicester City), Danny Rose (Tottenham Hotspur), Luke Shaw (Manchester United), John Stones (Manchester City), James Tarkowski (Burnley), Kieran Trippier (Tottenham Hotspur), Kyle Walker (Manchester City)

Midfielders

Ross Barkley (Chelsea), Nathaniel Chalobah (Watford), Eric Dier (Tottenham Hotspur), Jordan Henderson (Liverpool), Mason Mount (on loan at Derby County from Chelsea), Harry Winks (Tottenham Hotspur)

Forwards

Harry Kane (Tottenham Hotspur), James Maddison (Leicester City), Marcus Rashford, (Manchester United), Jadon Sancho (Borussia Dortmund), Raheem Sterling (Manchester City), Danny Welbeck (Arsenal)

Nice to see Maddison, Sancho and Mount get a call up, interested to see how they fare against decent opposition if they get some game time.

That midfield selection looks horrendous.

Yeah midfield sticks out like a sore thumb.

I’m hoping AOC starts strong when he returns from injury cause England could really use him.

So England games are behind a paywall/pay-to-view now?

Lols. Guess I won't be watching. Nice one, FA.

All about the money as usual.

Maddison and Sancho would be midfielders for me albeit attacking ones. Looks alright to me, the forwards don't. Past Kane who has been indifferent this season there is nothing. Seeing Welbeck in an England squad again blows my mind.

Looks like Scotland need a new manager, after that easy win for Israel last night.

Scottish football what a joke.

Croatia banned from having fans for two games but its ridiculous because its from 2016!!

They had a swassticker painted on the pitch before a match against Italy in 2016

No1newts · 12 Oct 2018 at 19:58

So rubbish without a crowd.

Combat Fighter · 12 Oct 2018 at 20:02

I can’t be bothered to watch this.

Boring.

McBain · 12 Oct 2018 at 20:11

What a snoozefest, not sure I will waste much more time on this garbage.

robfosters · 12 Oct 2018 at 20:46

All those England fans on the hill with their flags out.

Well done lads. Got to admire their dedication to the cause.

McBain · 12 Oct 2018 at 20:59

Rashford's finishing is absolute dross.

robfosters · 12 Oct 2018 at 21:40

Booorrriing!

Last night was atrocious, guaranteed, but the one thing McLeish is doing that is promising, is trying to bring young players in from the Scottish league. The problem is, he's clearly lost the plot tactically. Trying to shoehorn Tierney and Robertson into the same team, playing Charlie Mulgrew, Kevin McDonald and Steven Naismith, not playing Ryan Fraser (because he wants to play 5-3-2).

There are plenty of quality young Scottish players around, and the national manager should be throwing them all in, in positions they are familiar with, and we'll be fine. The problem with Scotland is that it's been so long since we've qualified for a major tournament, that the sole focus of the national coach is qualification. What we really need, is to pick a squad of mostly 21/22 year olds, with the odd 25/26 year old, and let them grow together. Hang the consequences.

It is quite funny. Scotland wait an eternity for a decent player and then they get 2 at once and they're both left backs and the answer is to play a formation without a left back

Fell asleep during second half of England game, as in literally fell asleep on the sofa and woke up an hour after it had finished.
