And, we're off.....2016/17

20 minutes in and England managing to hold the footballing collassus that men call Mata to a steady goalless 0-0.

Only 70 minutes more to hang on.

You honestly thought against Malta Rooney would be a holding midfielder,yes like we would really need one.

I was basing that on social media comments from several ex players before I swapped from CBeebies to the football. But nothing would surprise me with an England manager. I would have gone 4-4-2 with Rooney/Vardy and Sturridge up front and pace down both wings. But can't complain too much about the manager's selection or line up when we're 2-0 up even if it is "only Malta". All the manager and players can do is win the game and at the minute they're doing it.

Can someone please tell Sturridge that he does have team mates and he is allowed to pass the bloody ball!

Is Rooney really playing as a holding midfielder against Malta? Two questions about this....Do we actually need a holding midfielder against Malta? And if we do is Rooney better in that position than Dier?

No and No.

He's such a greedy player, you get few chances against good teams and he is just too wasteful the majority the time.

We keep getting told about all this exciting attacking talent we have but it all looks so slow and pedestrian when we go forward. At times there was a midfielder looking for a pass forward and everyone ahead of the ball was standing still. It's terrible when you compare it to the attacking movement of teams like Germany and Spain.
