    Had just got out of the ground as the second went in. Routine job done.

    What has happened to Foden? I thought he was pretty poor this eve. 
    You left before 77mins? Why would you pay that money and leave early just to beat the rush? 
    Agree Foden was poor 
    Only cost me 25 quid and Wembley matches are a pretty poor experience. Non stop paper airplanes being thrown in a dead atmosphere.

    Just there to get the required caps for WC tickets. 
    Fair enough ive not been to an England game for quite a while. My kids want to go to Wembley ive told them we're going for Charlton in May. If not I will have to look at England games
    L2 play off final or even L1 possibly.
  • I liked Tuchel's honesty in his post-match interview, quite refreshing to hear from a manager.

    Not enough progressive passes, runs in behind, taking men on. All things that we as fans want to see from the players and would expect to hear from the manager, but we rarely ever do. 

    I've no idea what is up with Foden, POTY last season but he has been way off it for club and country since the Euro's.

    I fell asleep, it was so very dull. Albania played anti football, understandable but an utterly pointless game.

     Nah we got 3 points. 
  • Went last but it was all about my kids going to Wembley for the first time and them seeing the likes of Kane, Bellingham and Foden. They absolutely loved it.

    Only downside was a couple of American dickheads sat in front of us that seemed intent on antagonising the Albanian fans who were sat behind us. Really weird behaviour.

    Game itself was a copy and paste of so many before it.

    At the game tonight lots of people there that have never been to a football match ever, painful

    Pretty boring game hope we play with more urgency tomorrow 
    I hope the opposition actually turn up to play football.
    I wish they hadn't  :s
  • Walker, Burn, Jones, Foden out.

    James, Guehi, Rogers, Bowen in.
  • Good to see Reece James back, he just needs to get control of his injuries else he'd be our best option (other than Walker) at Right-Back for me

    Good interview with Rogers on ITV at the moment, with a few words from Konsa

  • Jude Bellingham would have got a 2nd yellow card then if he wasn't Jude Bellingham. Ref completely bottled it
  • Bellingham is some player, but he seems like an absolute knob 
  • Henderson playing the Danny Hylton role
  • The thing entertaining me the most is listening to that nobhead Sam Matterface squirming every time he has to mention the Latvian player Dario Šits because he knows how it’s pronounced, but he’s refusing to say it properly. 
  • Apart from once when he forgot and called him “Shitsits” 😂
  • Please don’t play Rashford again, and why we playing Henderson surely a great time to blood somebody new. Early days but I don’t think we have chosen a great manager.
  • The only games we will really learn anything over the next 16 months, are two games against Serbia. 
  • Was Henderson playing???
  • Only saw the last half an hour. 3 good goals, in their differing ways, if nothing else.

  • Not really sure that Tuchel will have learned too much from these 2 games. Konsa and Lewis-Skelly did well, and i think Eze and Rogers also did well last night. No idea what he's learning from bringing on Henderson and Walker, nor why he felt the need to keep Kane on when we're 3-0 up. 

    Injuries permitting i'd say that Pickford, Stones, Rice, Bellingham, Saka, Kane probably pick themselves and will start at the world cup. So that leaves 5 positions to be decided.

    RB - Walker will be 36 by next summer so this spot will surely be between Trent and Reece James.
    LB - MLS is probably in the driving seat now, but Lewis Hall will certainly be in contention.
    CB to partner Stones - Konsa definitely won't have done himself any harm this past week.
    Midfield - this is the tricky one as i think it depends on the opposition. In tougher games you probably need someone a bit more defensive but who can play through the lines, and I think Wharton is the long term solution there. In games against lesser opposition i think we'll probably put Bellingham slightly deeper and play Palmer as the '10'.
    LW - Not sure Rashford is the answer, he put the effort in last night but his end product was awful. I'd like to see Gordon given a go there in the next round of internationals.

    A lot can happen over the next 14 months though. 
  • Rashford was a bit hit and miss but he wasn't as bad as some are saying. A clear case of scapegoating if ever I saw one. 
  • On a very rare occasion, I'll watch an episode of MOTD (probably 3 times a season) and I only tend to watch England games in the major tournaments, so when I see the squad list, I don't have a scooby who half of them are  :|
