Rubbish 2nd half from England. Almost willing Kosovo on because they've played so well... Pretty mint shirt too!

That has to be the worst English defensive set up I have seen. And I have seen a lot.

Good front three options and that's it! No chance against a top side

Takes a bit longer but still a regular good service, never had a problem myself. You mentioned Southern and it's not.

I actually meant southern trains in general no caps as Thameslink can do one as well. Not saying if there are problems either just the amount of time it takes to take a regular train on time through to london then the tube or overland to wembley it is comparable. Thats if you live near good transport which many dont in the south. Its not much to effing ask to have one game every 17 years in the south without people saying it should be in Birmingham.

Foden could be the answer to the midfield issues, but till he gets minutes we will never find out.

He might need to leave City

I agree Ashton Gate should get one

Yeah but is he really world class?


Hang on. I’m doing this wrong again, aren’t I?

He’s sensational - 93 international goals in European/world football (no no mark comps here), he’s beyond world class - he’s universal.

Shits all over Lionel, no messing.

An exciting game, 3 points to England and Dunk's international stock rising considerably this evening after the defensive mix-ups.

All in all, not a bad outcome.

93 goals!
Think about that. That's almost as many as Murray has for us but that's at INTERNATIONAL LEVEL!

Utterly brilliant... difficult bloke to like I guess, but my word I don’t think we’ll see his like again. He’ll have over 100 by the end of the qualifiers.

Undeniable genius.

By this (nonsense) logic, Lionel Messi isn’t world class.

He's carried Barca all round the planet, elevating not only himself but everyone he's played with.

He should be on loan somewhere. We'll have him!!

He does, desperately.

He’s only going to get a handful of games a year at City, at best. It’s been that way for a year or two now, and it isn’t going to change. Why is he willing to potentially spend the years he could be maturing into a world class player sat on the bench?

Why not go on loan somewhere and fvcking PLAY, week in week out? Or even transfer out. I just don’t get the mentality that “this’ll do me fine...”

Perhaps he wants to learn from Pep

5live dissecting England’s lack of defending and non-existent control of the second half. Very clear that in a tournament that ever changing defence and lack of midfield control will see good teams take us apart.

Even with two holding midfielders. A concern.
We must find a partner for Maguire.

Just got back from the game. Disappointed to concede three, two down to ridiculous mistakes from the centre backs, but seeing Raheem Sterling in full flow was an honour tonight- that first half performance was sensational.

Lots of Kosovans around the ground, great support and no aggro from what I saw. Good bunch of people getting behind a half decent bunch of players who played their hearts out tonight. They can take a lot of pride in their performance. For a country that has only been playing a few years to come and give England the scare they did with the modest talent at their disposal, they deserve a lot of credit.

Not convinced four at the back is the way forward for England- just play another CB rather than playing Rice as a holding midfielder IMO. I don't think Keane should even be in that squad (and thankfully won't be when Stones is back), let alone starting ahead of Dunk.
