I thought Raheem did a great job.

I wouldn't say he did a great job mate. I'm the last person to give our Raz any stick but i think he was just average tonight.

I think Southgate needs to be brave enough to drop Sterling and Alli.

It's like playing with nine men sometimes.

Only because Sterling is being played well out of position (which makes it much easier to defend him) and Alli is shite.

Fuck sake give it a rest, it was bent as fuck or don’t you think we should have had 2 penalties while there’s was a travesty.

I think we deserved one but what Walker did was utterly daft. If Young had done that it would not have been a travesty on here.

Not sure some people realise Kane’s a striker, not a midfield workhorse...

...who scored two goals.

My biggest problems with that performance was the lack of composure in finishing and lack of character after the penalty decision.

Agree mate, it was shocking

Henderson was exceptional, apparently. We're blessed to have him.

 

[I'm With Stupid]

Great win but overall exactly what I expected from England. Lots of neat play with little end product. Sterling and Lingard both brilliant at getting into positions, but not great once they get there. Sterling in particular had at least 3 players round him every time he got the ball, so it was obvious they'd targeted him. Personally, I think he's much better out wide rather than through the middle. Ironically, Rashford spent more time on the wings when he came on.

Are Lineker and wio etc in red square or is it just a TV screen behind them

 

[Cellarite]

The Kane thing baffles me. He does not get involved apart from where the ball is put on a plate. Show me Agüero, Tevez, Salah, Suarez, Costa, Vardy, fucking Ashley Barnes in that team.

BBC "Henderson was exceptional"

What the fuck are they seeing, sideways pass or backwards for 80% of the game, barely involved in any of the buildup play for anything meaningful. Get Delph in.
