Slovakian deserve it. More attitude and enterprise.

Bad commentator bad pundit.

Can't say I'm surprised. Defence has been shaky and Slovakia want it more.

Ok, the passing by Slovakia in the build up to that goal was unreal. Just full of confidence unlike the England players.

Can we finally learn the lesson that you need players in the right position  players that are fit and the balls to not play "superstars" that are not performing.

This is getting to be as bad as hodgeson's euros..

Someone should tell the England players that you don't score many goals by passing the ball sideways between the back 4 and the goalie.

Trippier, FFS.  Try playing a forward pass.

Though, he is playing on the wrong side of the pitch, and he’s far from the only guilty party.

Anyone else expecting no changes at half time.... England crying out for some pace, drive an entire left side and a change in the 10 and the right...

So much anxiety in the England squad. When you watch your club at the weekend and even at 2 goals down you think just 1 goal and you're back in it. Watching this match it's more like "1 more Slovakia goal and we're done".

It's like watching Spurs under Conte; backwards, sideways, backwards, sideways.

Our passing in the last third has been dire.

What is the point of Kane. Just put a mannequin on one of those remote lawn mowers - Same effect.

England playing a lot better 

Lestratcaster

So boring to watch. Too slow on the ball. Sideways and backwards passes, no runners. 

Mainoo needs to get the ball more and drive forward. Things continue the way they are and England are going home in the morning.

Anybody fancy joining me in supporting Austria on Tuesday night? Should be a good match against Turkiye

Looking forward to Spain Vs Georgia. I may be very very drunk by then…

And many thought qualifying is one thing and KO another- No it’s not It’s about a game plan, energy, team style and identity- We do have an identity and yes it’s crap - Many thought that a boring game plan in the qualifying stages is fine as long as you qualify yet look what momentum you bring with you when required 

Glad EFL and PL starts again in what 6 weeks

I’ll certainly be picking Austria over Turkey

Turkiye were actually on my shortlist of teams to support, it was Austria Hungary or them. Thankfully I rejected Hungary, but to now have my two others playing each other has worked out nicely as I'll happily support either of them in the next round

Plus come on Belgium tomorrow v France
