England v Malta

Quoted from LH

I don’t think this refs ever seen football played before let alone reffed it.

Dare I say that we’ve had better refs at BP?

Let's be honest any country would miss Kane , he's probably the best striker in the world now .

And yet amusingly has as many senior footballing medals as I do.

Good job we are not playing the whole of Macedonia

A dreadful performance tonight against North Macedonia.

Not helped by terrible refereeing but we really should do better than this.

If the word turgid didn't exist, it would have to be invented to describe these last two games.

On the plus side there's plenty of so called overlooked players who've staked a claim to being left at home next summer.

Every time I think town are poor England play even worse.

Town players have an excuse they are L2 for a reason but England are supposed to be among the best in the world.

Only bright spot for me was our young left back Lewis only 18 he has a bright future for club and country.

Never a pen.

Dion Dublin / the referee - difficult to know who was worst.
Dion can't have played football for 20 years; why do they keep employing these pundits who have feck all knowledge of the modern game.
Best moments included that he felt able to ascertain it should've been a corner from 200m away and that Rashford would change the game and would scare the living daylights out of the Macedonian right back. All Marcus did was to shank a free kick closer to the corner flag than the goal and then just ran the ball out of play

Well that's 100 minutes of my life I'll never get back, what a steaming pile of sh1te ! I'm sick to death of this backwards sideways, backwards sideways crap. No creativity, slow, ponderous approach, bloody rubbish.
Southgate should be sacked ASAP and we should BEG Guardiola to take over before we waste another "golden generation"
Anybody who seriously believes that this rabble can win the euro's is deluded !
Total crap !

After two games of jogging around, passing the ball sideways and backwards and doing very little else in general, is that enough time for the Alexander-Arnold midfield 'experiment' to be given a go?

No idea why Lewis was playing tonight. He's too young and lightweight at the moment and shouldn't be near the England squad (though he was unfortunate for the daft penalty). For reference, he's started about half the first team games that Rooney had when he made his debut and he's certainly no Rooney. If he gets a bit of game time somewhere or other, plenty of time for him to develop in the future but, like Palmer, will he get enough time on the pitch at Citeh?

Maguire, clumsy and out of form, of course, but Walker certainly didn't help out much tonight and I'm not fully convinced by Guehi yet. Hopefully, Stones is fit and in form next summer!
