Seriously, there is more atmosphere at a cricket match. What is going on at Wembley this evening? I actually double checked to make sure I hadn’t enabled some previously unknown Channel 4 crowd mute option. I’m not joking.
 
Fortunately Coronation street is on. Unfortunately it finishes in 10 mins so Missis T might want to watch the rest of the second half. If Southgate get’s the point to qualify we will hear once more how he is the second best manager of England.

Us stalwart, loyal, telly clappers are totally frustrated so I imagine those who pay a fortune to attend in person are even more so.

There's nothing to get upbeat about. Not really even any tasty tackles to at least get the crowd interested.

The one positive about being there is they don't have dull Dion adding to the bore-fest!
 
England playing well tonight against a good Italian side.
Bellingham is just unbelievably good.
Rashford always looks pretty decent playing for England I think, seems to have a bit of freedom and can express himself a bit more.
Maguire steady as well 😂
 
"The Italians like using this right hand side" - yep as easy to overload on Trippier as Rashford is daydreaming up the pitch still.

Early doors Rice had an easy diagonal pass out to Foden. Turned back...I almost turned over!
Yes thought Foden was excellent when he had the ball, but he hasn’t had it much.

great finish from Rashford but not much else.
Bellingham is a beast of a player.
Kane is fantastic when he decides to be the CF.

Not the spectacle they were trying to have us belive it was but a great win.

Itally look poor upfront imo.
 
Southgate is useless isn’t he?
If only he was the 2nd best manager we’ve had in terms of major championship results 🤔
I wouldn't get carried away with one result against an Italian side who many seem to think are average at best.

It was a good performance, albeit Phillips seemed a strange choice.

The proof will be when he gets to a tournament, and is able to beat one of the best teams. That is where he has failed up to now, with an England side with some excellent players.
