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

[richy]

Awful, Southgate has the job nailed on.
Sturridge his usual greedy, wasteful self, Walcott is just clueless where to make runs and look for the ball.
Someone point out a positive please cos I'm switching over to great train rides or summat 😂

Hart has played well, kept us in it so far.

They have skill and technical ability, I don't doubt it, it's a lack of desire and belief.

Technical ability includes a good first touch, ability to turn, finding space when not in possession, passing under pressure. Which of this lot consistently displays any of those?

Our most gifted player is a centre-back for God's sake!

Struggling to recall the last time England looked dangerous from a corner, anyone remember?

Wow the guy that has just come on for Slovenia sounds like some sort of heavy mining equipment.

Are you seriously saying no other player has the ability to do that, agreed it's sh1te tonight and on saturday but they are not that inept, that's why it's so frustrating!

It doesn't help when the delivery is consistently poor.

Kane, Rooney and now Henderson; it makes no difference.

England are just too slow they move at a pedestrian pace, dross is coming on, that should help.

All I will say is that when you play with better players you are more likely to look decent, I know that was true in my case. The better my team-mates the better I was.

That is why these players often look better for their clubs but when they are all together for England they are revealed as what they are, bog average.

I'm trying but the trains are calling... peeep peeep...last call for decent football.

Even bog average should be able to do the basics and we're failing at that tonight.

A great programme - great continental rail journeys.

A programme mixing great places, great trains and Michael Portillo modelling Lincoln quaker's summer collection - whats not to like?

 

[HomerJSimpson]

When Hart is your best player - BY A MILE, you know something is wrong with personnel and tactics. This is very very poor by England.

 

[Hacker Khan]

Is anyone honestly surprised by this though?

I'd like Wazza and Rashford for Sturridge and Horrenderson .................... who's had a total mare tonight!

This is the least skilful effort at sport I've seen today and I've watched the celebrities at the hero challenge!

They were poor, but I thought the event was fun. More so than this rubbish anyway.

I've caved in and put it on. Cahill is looking like a pub player. What has happened to him?

Townsend has injected some pace and drive. Good to see.

Cahill as always been average at best.
