Definitely won't be easy, especially when you factor in that Scotland will raise everything by 10% against the hated English. Plus, I wouldn't have thought we'll see anything like England's full strength side following their Euro qualifier and their injuries. Do you think the Scots will go full strength?
Clarke would be daft to not go full strength....a full baying crowd will be demanding it at Hampden, especially against the English. A non-full strength England side will find it hard to break them down, so maybe Southgate will need some regular starters in the line up to get past their defence. Just hope it's a good game, and not a repeat of that game at the Euros a couple of years back.
No other club would keep releasing him to play when going there with an injury, its an utter joke. If he gets ****ed again in these 2 games, then someone at the club should be sacked !
I'm not sure what the rules are, but think clubs can get fined if they don't release players for international duty, and if they are injured they need to be assessed by medical teams before being released back to their clubs
Think they changed the rules to stop Clubs refusing to release players who they claimed were injured but weren't. The decision is now with the International medical teams. Haaland has missed a number of qualifiers for Norway which I thought was ManC just trying to wrap him up, but in fact on the last occasion against Spain and Georgia I think it was Norways' medics stated he wasn't fit.
Norway won 6-0 last night and Haaland stayed on the bench for 90 minutes. Dykes has been injured so many times before Scotland games, yet always goes away with their squad and plays, and then cones back mire ****ed than before ! If we are forced to let him go in these situations, then there should be something in place, where we can sue them if this occurs again. It's beyond ****ing ridiculous
McTominay, who's played 7 mins.of football for Man Utd this season, nods in from close range after a peach of a cross from Andy Robertson...1-0 Scotland
Massive away support there, Scotland flags everywhere..... Ryan Porteous makes it 2-0 with 15 mins gone
John McGinn makes it 3-0 on the half hour mark...Cyprus may be ****, but Scotland are playing some good football here
Makes it to the end without getting injured - phew! Did a bit of running about, doesn't look fully up to match speed so a run out tonight will help us. FT 3-0....a full strength England should beat them comfortably, but only if they don't take them for granted
Yeah, meaning he'll probably start v England and Maguire will end him with a tackle that's later than the 6.22 from Euston !
