Lol. Spain made eight changes, and they are blaming Scotland’s style of play and the length of the grass.

He did but if we are being honest Joselu should be nowhere near the squad! Borja Iglesias came on ahead of Morata last night too.

It wasn't anywhere near their best XI tbf, but they are in decline in some key areas.

Simón, Laporte, Balde, Pedri, Gavi, Olmo and Morata would all be considered possible starters. Probably Nacho too.

CB and ST are two areas lacking the quality of previous generations. Hierro, Puyol, Piqué, Ramos, Raúl, Torres and Villa.

They still have some quality midfielders in Rodri, Ceballos and Fabián Ruiz.

Morata was made captain then spent all night on the bench against Scotland, wasn't injury related either! A bizarre line up from the manager, I was expecting him to bring a few of the 21 players through since he was previously the under 21 manager but instead he played 4/5 journey men against Scotland.

Very poor. The level of quality is way off previous teams. Still decent in possession but no real threat. They will still be decent at home which may bring them over the line in this group.

Have you not read the Ireland fan memo? Scotland and Wales are always sh*te. And no credit must be given to them whatsoever.

I know laughing at bitterness in
This thread 😀😀😀

As i said in a subsequent post i was referring to McTominey scoring 4 goals in a row. It was said in jest not to be taken literally. Thought it would be obvious enough.

I think the antipathy towards Wales and Scotland has a little more to do than just with football, all the fake nationalism is a bit much especially the Scots who turned down independence to be ruled instead by King Boris..

5 point lead between themselves and third place. Spain and Norway have to play eachother again as well so more dropped points there. I don't seem them bottling qualification from here

Probably, and be sh*te as usual but it is enjoyable listening to their delusions in the build up to the championships...

Sets them up nicely for their inevitable defeat away to Georgia.

A fully fit Haaland and i could still see the Scots losing twice to Norway and away in Spain. They may not but its entirely possible. Could get pipped eventually in this group.

Heard the commentator say one of the defenders is locked in a relegation battle in the la liga?? Since when do players like that get a game for them.

Could understand if they were bringing young players into the fold but they’re not!

Borja Iglesias, Joselu, Iago Aspas, Gaya and David Garcia should be nowhere near this Spain squad.
