We could have risked losing the game?
We were playing the 3rd lowest ranked team in the competition, yes I get that it's Scotland they will always play better and try harder against us, but for crying out loud they are Scotland.
If we had removed a defensive midfielder for Grealish and kept Foden on the pitch we do not lose that game, we might still draw granted, but the probability is we would have won it.
Other nations have to play teams that will raise their game against them and yet the good teams always find a way to win, we always find an excuse when we don't.
To start with two defensive midfielders against Scotland is laughable, to finish the game with two defensive midfielders because we didn't want to lose is criminal. No doubt Henderson will come in for either Rice or Phillips on Tuesday and that wil be the big change.
When we are playing France or Spain I have no issue with the two holding midfielders, but against Scotland for crying out loud, it's Scotland the third lowest ranked team in the competition!!!
