I like it when the commentators try to justify the shite

Great volley my Maguire, and great play by Stones.

The one big defence for him is that we have a lot of players out - the likes of Henderson, Sancho, Grealish. Players that would likely be in the team.

Last 2 matches genuinely concern me tbh . We look dire at the back at times too

I worry that sides with more attacking flair will really do a job on us

Kanes been very average tonight. He spends far too much time playing in midfield when he plays for England.

Got lucky but this kind of performance against a team that started a Barnsley CB is why we are miles away from winning the Euros.

Still CJ will tell us how good the performance was ;)

2-0 against Albania and 2-1 against a depleted polish side ...hardly inspiring Gareth

I mean Germany are tlosing 2-1 at home to North Macedonia. But you’ know they’ll be there or there abouts.

performances in qualifying won’t matter

Remind me what were you saying about Stones earlier?

What are you talking about? What does it matter what Germany are doing.

England are simply not good enough and Southgate isn't a good enough manager.

We put a performance like that in against Belgium or France etc and we get dicked.

I don't think they will mate ...not the same side anymore
Thing is we’re always slated, because the bookies have us as favourites, and people make out these teams are a million miles ahead of us. The standard at international level isn’t great.

at home we can beat anyone

True but Germany over the last year have drew twice with Switzerland, lost 6-0 to Spain, drew with Turkey and now have lost to Macedonia.

They aren't the same

We aren’t a million miles away, my point is the teams that people claim are miles in front aren’t. Germany lose to North Macedonia, France drew at home to Ukraine. We beat Belgium at home not long ago

That second half was really drab. As soon as Poland switched from 3 at the back to 4 they got a lot more of the ball further up the pitch. Then we lost our width and the entire shape just went to shit. Bench was uninspiring.
