    It really was a 'superb shift' when you read through Paddy's list of his contributions. He did make Kane look peripheral and then did a job on his replacement, Rashford. If he can maintain that form and avoid injury in the PL, he could make a real difference next season, especially playing alongside Gibson rather than a young Godfrey still learning his trade two years ago.

    It's not me who needs convincing of this fact. I concur 100%.
    But we know a man who doesn't ;)

    Handley looks rather Hanley out there. He looked strong too, got some big biceps that bloke. Blunted and made the English attack took average.

    There were four Premier League quality performers for Scotland last night -- Robertson, Tierney, McGinn and McTominay. Kane looking peripheral was nothing to do with Hanley; HK has been playing poorly for months now. The reaction to the game in the press and on social media is absolutely typical. In the context of qualifying for the knock-out stages of the competition, the important thing for England was not to lose, which objective they comfortably achieved. They sensibly refused to engage in a typical lower v higher level, end to end, helter skelter, cup-type game, which was what Scotland wanted, so the emphasis throughout was on slowing the game down and limiting Scottish possession.
    With four points, and given that all but two of the third placed teams qualify for the knock-out stages, England are already home and dry barring an unlikely thrashing by the Czechs on Tuesday. Immediate job done.
    If there was any lesson to be learned from a Norwich point of view, it was this: if you don't have the necessary quality all over the pitch, don't pretend that you have; cut your coat to suit your cloth. This is what Clarke did, and DF steadfastly refuses to do -- unless we happen to be playing Man City.

    Oh ffs the World and his dog could see Hanley was brilliant last night even getting praised by England fans, but someone can never concede even for one game that they could possibly be wrong .

    In most of the player ratings I read Handley scores 8 one of 3 players.

    England went 90 mins with just 1 shot on target .

    He definitely won over the Scottish supporters.

    Funny, I don't recall you saying that you hope England can hold Scotland to a goaless draw so they have a good chance to go through to the next stage. Ballocks. Your jaundiced view of Hanley and most of our other players is pathetic - if only they could be as good as Stieperman or Rupp I suppose. You're beginning to parody yourself Robbie.

    England 0-0 Scotland: Player ratings from Euro 2020 clash at Wembley
    By Sky Sports Football.

    Grant Hanley - 8

    Marshalled the Scottish backline well and was rarely caught out of position, arriving quickly on the scene to snuff out the danger whenever England did penetrate. England's failure to carve out many clear-cut chances was a testament to his belligerent performance.

    Southgate's genius plan of drawing 0-0 with tournament minnows Scotland carried out perfectly.


    Is Robbie on drugs ?

    The Australian commentary singled out Hanley as having a very good game in nullifying the English attack having watched the game I agree with their assessment

    Handley limited the Premiership All Stars to 1 shot on target for me that was great .

    Not too bothered how England do would rather Finland progress
