[Football] England v Andorra 5pm

[Kinky Gerbil]

Trent and Bamford have been awful

 

[Sheebo]

3-0?

Brighton alone has got nine times the population of Andorra, it really should 6 plus

It’s a reserve team and we’ve averaged 4-0 against them the last 4 games. They’ve improved… So 3-0 is about par for me.

Dull

 

[Pavilionaire]

Absolute snoozefest. You can fast forward that whole half. England managed one shot on target.

Southgate has not only picked 3 right backs but also a team built to counter-attack when what they need is a player who can unlock the massed defence, like Grealish.

Trent and Bamford have been awful

There’ve been a long line of strikers who didn’t truly make the grade for England eg Brian Deane, Jeffers, David Hirst.

Hopefully this is just one-off stage fright from Bamford. So tense so far, awful touch.

1 striker against cannon fodder.

Love the commentator describing TAA's free kick at the end there as just a little bit high.

A little bit?

He’s 28 and had 1 decent season in the PL - He’s really not all that

Edit - I know Vardy was the same, but he offered something completely different.

 

[Bakero]

I've quite enjoyed it. Looks like the players are too. J-Lingz taking a bit of a kicking- hope he's wearing his Jessie Shinguards.

 

[Weststander]

In the last year Portugal put 7 past Andorra, even awful Irish and Hungarian teams scored 4.

But, almost every goal came in the second half. Portugal for example brought on all their famous players after the break.

It's really not a reserve team is it? There's no such thing in international football so you can't hide behind that. They are all highly paid footballers who play in supposedly the top league in the World. Andorra have one player who plays in any top league and he's the right back.

 

[Weststander]

Lovely drop goal from Bamford, the ball should reach the International Space Station in about an hour’s time.

 

[timbha]

I normally stick up for England but this isn’t a good performance so far. Bamford will probably end up with a couple but he looks so lethargic and his finishing even when offside can’t be described as clinical!

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

We are now playing Rbs in midfield.

 

[Happy Exile]

I blame the band.

 

[Pavilionaire]

International football doesn't get much worse than this.

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

We are now playing Rbs in midfield.

The next England manager, Potter, will easily slot in to the role

 

[Weststander]

Time for the better players, we’re going down blind alleys against a Hughtonesque 9-0-1.

 

[crodonilson]

Pat Bamford been excellent so far, making some sensational runs that the midfield has unfortunately failed to pick up on.
