Genuine question, have you enjoyed watching England recently? And by recently, I mean since about 1996?

Yes, because I know the expectations at international football, it’s never that pretty, players nervy and not used to their team mate around them, lower opposition set out to frustrate and load of other factors - I don’t see why people don’t understand this and just assume we should be winning 5-0 playing like prime Barcelona every match. It’s funny that Southgate was to blame for every underwhelming match and I explained at the time you can bang on about what players should play, tactics and formations but end of the day no manger will drastically change anything - it’s international football. Fortunately we do have a crop of great young players, often dominate matches and win. That’ll do me.

Yes but, what is actually ENJOYABLE about this?
 
Itv have definitely made a conscious decision to call Tront by his full name .

Palmer off, done nothing, welcome to starting number 10 for England. No better than Foden and it's against Andorra. Rogers will be next off.

Then we can stop blaming the players who are playing there and start blaming our inability to find them there.

Palmer is nowhere near Foden’s level. Excluding this season
 
No idea how Reece James is in this England squad other than being a main part of Tuchel's Chelsea, he can't stay fit and when he is, he's nowhere near the level he was 4 years ago.
 
Don't see how a game can be exciting when one team just sits 11 in the box and doesn't want to open up.
 
England fans at the game are so bored they're making their own entertainment. It reminds me of us at Maine Road when we were shite.
