Been very good, as we expected he suits this England team

Had to nip out after 25 minutes, I told my mate England never play well when I watch them, so it'll probably be 2-0 at half time...he was laughing when I returned.

[foxes_rule1978]

I love watching Bellingham play, he is so good 

[TJQuik]

I hope madderz scorez

[splinterdream]

Oh dear, we're gonna miss him next season 

[Sir Shep]

Well hopefully our Madders will gain some confidence from this game and come back firing us up to mid table. One can hope!

Even better...sign a new deal 

(One can hope)

[UniFox21]

We wonder why we falter when Kane isn't on game, the fact we're 2-0 in 70 mins and Toney isn't given a chance is ridiculous

Jeez if that happens I'll literally propose to the poor guy!

How can 84,000 people be so quiet?

[st albans fox]

Toney had £50 on him subbing for Kane after 80 mins

Its a strange english phenomenon, I swear if they got 80,000 non football fans in the ground they'd make more nosie....Its almost like our fans are intentionally being quiet, its so odd...and it was no different when I went to see a qualifier there, just sooooooo quiet, it was eerie and weirdly unsettling.

[TJQuik]

The standard of punditry on channel 4 is abysmal isn't it?

[Guest nathan.]

England midfield options are ridiculous.

 

So much talent.

Yes we have.

But it’ll just continue to be the same, circular argument that England fans have had for nearly 60 years.

We’ll cruise through the qualifiers at a canter. We expect this and this IS a good squad to pick from.

But will we ever win anything? 
This debate went on for weeks after the WC. What is the final ingredient that results in our International side finally breaking this hoodoo and lifting a trophy?

The pundits will do more of the same. Cream over how good we looked, Maddison finally playing, Toney making his debut etc.

But I think we just look the same as we did. STILL relying on Kane, STILL playing Stones and slab-head at CB.

I’ll not get at all excited or bothered anymore until we go on and put all this potential into something meaningful and when we come up against the best, beat them.

[Sir Shep]

Ian Stringer has just tweeted that Bellingham is Loughborough educated so I'm having that as Leicester providing half the England side, we are massive!!

[Stinkenzo]

I'm so ****ing annoyed we won tonight 

[RowlattsFox]

Standard England qualifying match. Comfortable win in a friendly atmosphere. 

 

Tidy enough from Maddison but that's it really.

We’ll it’s not the English anthem for a start it’s even sillier when we’re playing one of the other home nations.  The religious content and eulogising an individual is some what ironic, You shall not worship any other God. The subsequent verse is unacceptable as well.

I’d prefer one that is about England rather than an individual.

 

Plus it’s a dirge and totally not an uplifting or inspiring piece that you really need for a sporting event.

Agreed, I was at the U21 game yesterday and I found the French anthem more inspiring

[Lionator]

I hope we see a couple of new teams at the euros. Think there’s a strong possibility that Georgia can make it through the nations league, and maybe Kosovo and Kazakhstan have a chance too.

Welcome to international football, rarely are qualifiers exciting, although I did enjoy both games saw some quality and good all round solid performances. We were never in danger and just eased to a win. Qualification is pretty much certain already

Crowd was full of families and kids so it’s not really surprising. Prem is often off limits to these people and tickets were only £35 so while the atmosphere was crap, a lot of young kids got chance to see their heroes.
