Slovakia v England - World Cup Qualifier - 5pm KO

[Sarisbury Seagull]

Didn't watch it as would rather pull my teeth out but just hearing how average the game was makes me even angrier about these crappy international breaks. I would be quite happy if international football was scrapped during the season and one off tournaments were held every two years.

Didn't see it, but i bet they pinged it up field every night to try and hit the big man.

Well, well, well... a lucky win -

come on England , let's win the group because we have a load of sh*t sides in our group
and then do our usual f**k up when it matters..

England = complete fuc*ing waste of time and effort.

Hang your heads in shame you prima donna load of s*ithouses.

 

[BensGrandad]

I didnt agree with Sams appointment but shouldn't we lay off of him and the team and wait to see what he can produce. He may surprise us as he is his own man not an FA brown nose.

Let's all stop watching qualifiers and friendlies. Just watch the tournament matches. Saves a lot of boredom and wingeing.

We can keep that for the games that matter. But it's only once every 2 years!

How to win ugly.

They might be useless at the moment, but it's still my team, and I will support them.

I'm proud of that one star on the shirt. There are many countries who don't have any.

Getting to tournaments for the foreseable future will be as good as it gets with the small pool of talent we have.

 

[Puppet Master]

We won, didn't we? And dominated too, against a pretty decent team in their own back yard. Hamsik didn't get a sniff all game and he'd walk into our side.

Miserable tossers everywhere tonight I see, as per USUAL.

European Champions Spain went there 2 years ago in the Euro 2016 qualifiers, and LOST 2-1. Jesus H Corbett, imagine the SPACKFEST on here if England dared turn in a result like that. Were we brilliant ? No. But we went to a tricky away game, kept a clean sheet, and won, so its job done. A bit like the Albion going to Burton and muddling our way to a win.

I guess everyone is just ITCHING to put the boot in on England again after the last debacle though, pretty much hoping that we'll be rancid shit again, just so we can have a good old MOAN up and sound really clever, like we know something Allardyce doesn't. Carry on. I just hope we qualify and then do a 1990 / 1996 / 1998 and give us all something to look forward to and shout about. Because I guarantee this. All the ones saying "I don't give a fvck about England any more" blah blah cuffing blah, will soon be in the pub in their JJB shirts at the first SNIFF of a 2nd round game. Knobbers.

a prolonged diet of cold porridge is bound to create some culinary disinterest .....it'll be better once the deep fried black puddin' and mushy peas become a regular offering...

But we usually win our qualifiers?

 

[Robert Codners Nostrils]

I may be wrong, but I think Slovakia have a very good home record. Good result. Of course, most on here are excited by the fact we only managed to win 1-0, and it was a bit of a dull game. Granted, it was a bit hodgson-esque at times, but the Wisdomites of the all-knowing supporters of BHA seem to think big Sam should have won the World Cup in the the first 90 (or even 45) mins of his reign! Get a grip people. Change the nappy. Bring on the Malta!

Good. And so will I. I wasn't having a pop particularly. Just saying it wasn't a great performance to get the job done.

I'm sure Sam will get them organised and trying to play to a system but sadly, he hasn't got the players to work with. The PL is stifling the development of the English player and we are going backwards. Most International teams putting men behind the ball will give us problems. We have no ball players capable of beating men and setting up chances. We cannot deliver accurate crosses or set-pieces. What we can do is roll the ball across our back four and midfield, till the cows come home. We are very good at that. Sadly, the better the class of opponent, the more that will be ruthlessly exposed.

 

[HastingsSeagull]

I think most would have taken a 1-0 against a good team away from home, but 95th minute goal and playing same old system is probably setting the tone and feeling more

 

[MF'84]

Atleast Sterling a actually looked like a footballer so there's a marked improvement.

Drew 0-0 with them in the Summer so again, there's an improvement.

I don't mind Rooney playing in midfield / behind the striker ASLONG as he contributes to the game in an attacking sense but I barely believe he did. Ali should be playing that role as he proved when he came on (yes I know he had more space at that stage of the game, but still...).

We'll have no problems qualifyng and I wouldn't be surprised if we had a 100% record again.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Worry is Sam said Rooney was brilliant and can play where he wants....

The worry started when he retained the captaincy, no chance of dropping him now. Again, no issues at all if he's contributing going forward but if he isn't it's a waste of a position when we have 'specialists' sat on the bench that can break up play and pass the ball around (Drinkwater) and attacking players that actually attack (Ali) instead of Rooney roaming around seemingly doing what he likes.

Yeah its tough for Sam especially since he's always nurtured English talent at every club he's been too.

The answer to that is to drop Henderson and replace him with Drinkwater.=
