Shocked at that performance. Well played, deserved the points. Delph looks an exciting prospect. Hopefully Welbeck will get more chances at Arsenal and push on. Can't ask for much more than that
I was very worried before tonight but I think Roy's earned himself a good nights kip.
They weren't no great shakes but we did a job. Never thought I'd see a player like Delph put in that type of performance but it goes to show we don't always have to play players from the top 4.
We're gonna win the Euros. Wellbeck is the new Messi.
But seriously, hardest game away from home and won 2-0. Job done. I liked what I saw in Delph. Just need to find a holding midfielder and it's the start of a decent looking team.
Good game, how can anyone not watch England, crazy.
Good stuff from England, good team goal for the first (Shin ruined it a bit) but lovely finish for Welbecks second. Toughest game out of the way, should top the group easily now.
excellent job by the manager. he obviously knows the Swiss inside out and came up with an effective tactical plan. the players carried it out to a tee and deserved the two goal margin. That Should take the pressure off for the next couple of years. The FA need to do a better job now, and get better friendly opponents, to assist the manager & players. Norway are the equivalent of Tranmere Rovers. Why would you pay good money to watch them? Bring the effing prices down!!!!
Well pleased for Hodgson, seems a very decent man and this result will give him a major lift.
Didn't see the game but the evolution of the side since Capello left is pretty extraordinary, only Rooney remains of the old guard and these young players have a massive opportunity.
I was at that ground in 1981 for a World Cup qualifier. Claudio Sulser ripped us apart down the middle and they beat us 2-1. Nice to reverse that result.
The stand opposite the cameras was open in 81, with a railway line running along the top of it. The terracing had been built up the side of the railway embankment.
The key was getting the first goal, as England lack the quality to break stubborn defences down, but have bags of pace, and with space we can be dangerous.
Good result for sure but I don't think the performance will have France, Germany, Holland, Italy and Spain quaking in their boots. We need to improve greatly to have a decent run at the tournament in 2016, if we qualify.

Fair to say ol Woy got that spot on tonight.

Looking forward to France 2016 ;-)

Good performance otherwise.

2 goals well taken.
Was it any good?
good result though and pleased for Welbeck.

The Swiss were very disappointing.
