England - Euro 2024 qualifiers

[Comrade 86]

3 shots on target against Malta is pretty poor irrespective of the line-up. Mission accomplished I guess.

Rubbish performance, Tomori left back unsurprisingly didn't work. No zip in the passing at all. Disappointing.

[Crewton]

I think anyone who bought a ticket for that  ought to be eligible for a refund of the entire cost of their day. It was 2 hours I'll never get back but at least it didn't cost me anything.

Well played Malta though, at least they were trying.

Match officials seemed to be on magic mushrooms too.

England with and without Belligham are two completely different animals.

Man City have a number of brilliant players and a world class striker. But take Rodri out of that team and they just don't function the same. England are exactly like that with Bellingham.

Limp performance. Too many out of form players picked. No real excuse for the usual Maguire and Henderson.

Rico Lewis looks about 12 years old.

I struggle with internationals nowadays when players can get full caps after 10 games in a clubs first team and play in full internationals then change countries.  The latter probably influencing the former .  Back in sepia times when I started watching, a player would need a couple, maybe more, years of first team football playing consistently well to get a cap.  It's all a bit like climbing Everest nowadays.  Not what it was.

Maguire! FFS. That was a stitched on penno. 😄

I've just literally got into my digs in Cheltenham and turned the game on and within 10s, Maguire acts like a complete cart-horse......🙄

[Alph]

That's was an obvious foul by Maguire, no?

Him and Sonny Bradley separated at birth! 😄

Can someone explain to me the difference between the Maguire challenge that want and penalty, and the Walker challenge a minute later that was a free kick?

Gives us something else to moan about though, so it's not all bad.

One was given and the other wasn't 😋

I was kind of surprised there wasn't even a sniff of a var check. Ok, might have gone down a bit easily but it was such an oafish challenge......

It took Dion Dublin about 30s to think of a reason why not, so that's a stonewaller in my book......
