    TWO great bits of goalkeeping from the Maltese Cross in the first couple of minutes. Why Hoddle and co. got all wimpy about the first one beats me.

    Ffs England, sink Valletta a.s.a.p. ...

    They will take 0/0 or 0-1 - no pace or width.

    Why the hell do itv have Paul Ince on the panel. Awful pundit with an annoying bumbling squeaky s****y little voice.

    Usual routine:
    Rushed back from a match,got fish and chips,turned on match,watched for 15 minutes,got bored,turned over to tennis.
    England have played the same match for the last 25 years give or take,just different opponents and different kit!

    Easy excuse. We have zero creativity in midfield. Zero.

    As for that ******* band and the England fans, good lord.

    Genuinely just found out that Jake Livermore played. Didn't hear his name or even see him once.

    Southgate is the embodiment of the FA in a manager. Awful.

    He does look deep and and thoughtful though on the touchline and talk calmly and those, I think, are the main considerations for the job.That and a nice v neck jumper and clean shoes.

    You play Hart, Stirling, Livermore and Henderson then what do you expect. Idiotic.

    More sideways passes than Ray Wilkins in his prime. Also £50m for Kyle Walker?! :D

    Couldn't be bothered to start a new thread for tonight. 2-0 england.

    Another dull affair.

    OxCham showing how unbelievably over priced Liverpool payed for him. What a waste of money.

    Disagree about the game think it's actually been alright. Helps Slovakia haven't just sat back.

    Agree about OxChamberlain, over priced. Lots of pace, no end product

    Ok not totally dull but we have less creativity up front that Mazzarri painting white paint on a white piece of paper.

    Deli Alli... STOP SHOOTING FROM ANYWHERE AND BLOODY PASS IT!!!!!

    I feel sorry for countries that draw us in tournaments, they know how dull and boring it's going to be and must dread having to watch it for how **** the game will be.

    Ok I retract my comment - boring once 2.1. Agree with you about Ali but I guess that's the flip side of having someone who can produce something from nothing. Cahill was poor and after getting sent off vs Burnley I wonder if his career is on the slide - goes to ground too easily

    I thought England were ok and managed the game at 2-1. The issue is that we are so far away from making an impact in Russia next summer. Quarter finals would be about as much as we can hope for if we're lucky but that's it.

    Saw that he did it, was it Defo to the ref? Was in a bar so could not hear what the commentator said, if this is true Fifa and the fa should throw the book at him, every ref on a Sunday getting paid peanuts to do a tough job will pay the price, it bad enough when the fans do it but the players is not on, let's see if Southgate has the balls

    At Kyle Walker apparently!

    In typical England style we made heavy work of it!

    Poor opening and deserved to be a goal down.

    Rashford main positive and earned his winner.

    Ali missed a couple of decent chances and the defence improved 2nd half like the rest of the team.

    Job done eventually!
