That England team on 20:35 - Nov 17 by hoppy | Always a good indicator of a thoroughly enthralling and entertaining game of football… |
Indeed. It’s been thoroughly awful. And now at half time, the pundits went through the other scores and said Poland are beating Czechia. Since when did Czech Republic change their name? |  |

In 1993 apparently. Although the English translation is frequently used. |  |

McKenna is ten times the manager Southgate is. |  |

Not really the point is it? You wanted to go with less experience and players who still won't have trained together. I doubt they would have done better. As I stated, the problem is a lot to do with a bunch of players that aren't used to playing together in one system. |  |

Shhhhhhh. We all know that McKenna is a rubbish manager, no other club should even think about hiring him, right? |  |

That’s international football for you? If these premier league players can’t get settled in a home game against Malta they have no chance. |  | |  |

Correct. The expectations of England to be the best team in the world are always unrealistic. You only have to look at how many of the top players in the Premier League are English to realise that. Great for entertainment but not good for the national team. |  |

Best in the world or put a decent performance against Malta? Kinda different. |  | |  |

They have done the job to win the game. It wasn't entertaining, no. Which more entertaining players did they have available? I don't think changing the personnel would have made it any more entertaining just, potentially embarrassing. An England shirt should be an honour that is earned not just given to some younger players for a change. If the penalty had been awarded as it should have been and the goal not ruled out by VAR for a dubious offside, a 4-0 win would have looked more comfortable but, aside from the first minute it hasn't looked like anything other than an England win. |  |

Ridiculous take. No shot on target until 65 min at home against Malta. Malta. Bottom of the group Malta. Why play Kane and Maguire and Henderson in that game? Absolutely pointless. We’d already qualified as well so what was there to lose starting a load of the youngsters to give them experience of a competitive game?? |  | |  |
