Strange game really. I don't actually think we've played particularly well yet we've scored 5 away from home and are absolutely strolling it. The confidence of this side must be sky high, and we surely stand a strong chance of winning all 8 qualifiers.
I reckon this is what it felt like to be German for about 30 years.
England of a few years ago we'd still be 1-0 down and sitting on the edge of our sofas as we watch them loft aimless balls into the box

I’m not sure even the best German teams scored 5 that regularly
Why did Clive Tyldsley need to say that he hasnt heard any racist abuse, in regards to Sterlings celebration, why assume Sterling did that cos of racial abus
A lot of people have been moaning about lack of game time given to Foden at City, but Guardiola clearly knows what he’s doing with young players. I’m sure the long term plan will benefit both player and country.
Not been able to watch the last two games, but Sterling sounds like he’s been unplayable.
Can’t see why they only gave us 650 tickets with all the empty seats in the home end.
I’ve also heard more intimidation at M K Dons. You know football is becoming sanitised when places like this are dead.
i was there in 2012 and they were lobbing fireworks at us and trying to get at us from the pitch at the end.
Another clinical and encouraging performance.
Apparently they have had a few big fines for the fireworks and flares so it seems to have worked. Ive not been to an england away game other than that shity game in dublin 1995 enough to put me off. Wish i had been to a few of these eatern european countries tho it looks a good away trip.
The great thing was, I don't think we were firing on all cylinders and still won 5-1 away. The two teams we have scored 5 against are not San Marinos either!

Rice been fairly neat, but when he does make a mistake he wins it back.
Ali can be great but when he’s gash he’s really gash, like tonight.
Delle Ali is becoming a luxury for the national team, in fairness he has been injured for a while so I wont be any harsher than repeating my view that he is an outfield version of David James
Working on instinct he is wonderful, at least capable of wonderful things. Given half a second to think, he will make a bad decision
I think thats a bit harsh. I think he is a better footballer than ross berkley he is just not in form and not fully fit. Him and Lingard were pretty good in the world cup and like you say instinct was evident. Its good we have a few options up top now
He's a different footballer to Barkley, I did say he has been injured for a while and I like Delle Ali, I just think these last 2 games have passed him by. He's still only a very young man so plenty of time for him to evolve. He does make me wince when he has more than one touch though as his second is often a tackle
We had the odd sloppy moment at the back, but were pretty well unplayable at the other end. That Kane fella has been watching Lyle Taylor, dropping deep and playing people in, and very effective at it.

Callum on the other hand is like Sancho and so relaxed and laid back when answering questions
Heaton (don't rate Pickford personally)
Walker Stones Gomez Chillwell
Alli Henderson Lingard
Sterling Kane Sancho
Subs: Pickford, Maguire, Trippier, Dier, Hudson-Odoi, Barkley, Rashford
Neither Czech Republic or Montenegro are pushovers and to put ten goals past them is no mean feat. Previous England sides would never have done this.
We can improve at the back but for now I'm just happy to watch England play in such a flowing style.
