Tickets sorted for Albania in November, off to watch Hungary as well on Tuesday. If we don't qualify for Germany 2024 I'll be gutted after all these crap games attended.

Will be interesting if the players behaviour changes? Looking forward to seeing how they get on.

Apparently Sancho had the ball on the left wing and Foden went out there as well. Personally I have no idea if that’s true due to the fking knobs producing the coverage seemingly thinking we all have a 120” tv. I don’t expect to be zoomed far enough to see his blackheads but why on earth do I need to see the whole of our right wing in the same shot from the halfway line???

Watch out! They’ve put Lurch on! They’ll have to sub him again before the end of the game so he can get the coach warmed up.

Aren’t they a bit limited by the size of the ‘stadium’ where they can actually put a camera…

Great finish by Saka, unbelievable pass by Foden.

Maybe that’s a contributing factor but I’m sure there’s no reason to put it on a hillside 3 miles away!
Nah, there’s really no good reason to leave it zoomed out so far which is proved because they get the shot right occasionally.

Superb from both.
Bit worried that Sancho’s in danger of getting sent off for battling with a sub in the tunnel.

Anything could happen. Northern Ireland have had a player sent off tonight for trying to take a throw in for fks sake…

Sancho being a dhead at the end there, tussling with the Andorra player then nudging the ball away so rightly getting booked.

Saw this on another forum, from what I can gather NI HAD been warned about time-wasting, possibly the ref didn't realise it was a second yellow (early ish in the game) and couldn't really do a lot after he'd pulled the yellow and seems to have been told in his ear that it's a sending off.

If the team has already been warned, there can't really be any complaints imo.

Have you ever seen a second yellow given for time wasting? In the first bloody half!? He’s not even time wasting, he’s just trying to find an option to throw to, happens week in, week out.

Worse still it’ll probably cost NI the game.

Wouldn't be as bad if his play had been great, but he was rubbish tonight.

Foden the stand out tonight. Ward-Prowse's passing and effort has been good too.

Yes. No. I'm not the ref, so I can't say EXACTLY what his thought process was. However in a way, I think it's nice to see the laws being used as they should. Just my twopence. Let's get back on topic...

What a goal! Very good performance tonight, Foden especially has been astounding.

Sorry, what?? Are you saying Sancho was rubbish tonight? Maybe go and watch it again without some kind of bias clouding your understanding. He was great tonight, they had no answer to him at all.

Agreed Foden was brilliant but some of his passes were wasted as the next three passes by others after it , resulted in the ball being back in our half.
I understand the need to keep possession against the likes of Italy, Germany etc, but the amount of time we wasted just knocking the ball back and forth across the back four was ridiculous. We need to wear down teams like Andorra so they are dead on their feet in the last 20 and score at will. Back passing just gives them a rest and time to recover.Grealish’s goal showed how getting the ball forward quickly opens up these sides.
Other observations
Stones is a donkey and makes Maguire look like Ronaldo.
Kane looked a d1ckhead with his impression of an Under 8 trying to the coach to put him on.

Teams that just park the bus and pack the box are very hard to break down even if they are very inferior. Hence why there are so many league and FA cup replays or giant killings. Ironically we tend to play better against decent opposition that comes forward and tries to score.

Nice for Jack Grealish to finally get a goal, he has been an unselfish provider of opportunities and second half attacking momentum for some time now in an England shirt, that was the easy confident finish of a man who nets week in week out.

One of those games where 4 nil is par.

Wonder if Kane gets miffed when he's left out of games like this where he could get a bag full.
