What was that all about? Why play with so much fear? Terrified of losing the ball, passing backwards and sideways. Possession football.Rather see a player trying to beat another than passing backwards etc. England have some world class players use them as such.When they announced there was 6 min extra time you could hear a groan..😂 [Post edited 18 Nov 2023 17:25]

2-0 win by the fringe players and Kane.
Played at half speed.
No injuries, no suspensions.
Job done.
On to Macedonia tomorrow.
WE ENGLISH NOT SCOUSE ON |  |

It was about a team that did not really want to play the fixture and would quite happily have not done so. About players that did not want to be there (and did not want to risk injury) and were thinking about their club rather than performing for their country in front of their audience. It was about players who only got drafted in because the more familiar usual ones had scuttled back to their clubs or removed themselves from the commitment who will have played the week before and will no doubt be available to play next week. | | | |

This was definitely a B grade game, and the performances suited. Alexander-Arnold is no international midfielder. Nor is Gallagher if it comes to it. Henderson proved once and for all that he is WAY past his sell by date. If Tomori showed in training that he knows how to be a LB, then he used up all his credits on the training pitch, he was dire. How can Southgate pick a squad that doesn’t have the flexibility to be able to match Malta? I felt sorry for the quality players out there, waiting for their low grade team mates to wake up. One of the worst England performances I have ever seen.
Players like Foden and Palmer need sharp, intelligent players around them, not bags of sand. For much of the game, Maguire was our main distribution outlet. How disgraceful is that? |  | | |

As someone who was born in Malta (my dad was stationed there on Royal Navy submarines many moons ago), I was cheering for them... if only to embarrass the waistcoat w@nker.

maguire still managed to turn the ball over a number of times.What is this thing that trent alexander has to be found a position in an england team,not a goalie,not a striker and cant defend to save his life,not much left is there. | | | |

It was very strange team selection from Southgate. He played 2 right wing-backs and no left wing-back at all. Instead, a right-footed central defender, Tomori, was supposed to cover that side. Up front, he selected a terribly out of form Rashford, who nowadays just wanders around looking depressed.
But, as Southgate fans point out, we won again and we'll finish top of our qualifying group.
I know there are 1 or 2 fans on here, Hedge End Saint, who never miss an England game at Wembley but I'm glad I pick and choose and so miss the 'paper aeroplane games' against poor opposition like Malta. I was there when we beat Italy 3-1 and I'll be there again for the next home game v Brazil. [Post edited 19 Nov 2023 13:21]

That is the approach that I thought to take with Southampton this season, and nearly half way through I haven’t been tempted yet. | | | |
