    Lots of possession for England so far but I still don't understand the point of playing it out from the back so slowly that when you do eventually get up the pitch the opposition still has all their players behind the ball.

    Not sure why he’s started Kane too. We need the pace of Watkins I think

    Kane is a great finisher, no doubt about that. But he offers nothing else in my opinion. He's miles behind the pace. If anything, he's actually a hindrance with his constant dropping into midfield areas, denying space to play and compressing the pitch. We really should be giving Watkins the game time now.

    Always love when a ref allows the other team to get away with two of exact same fouls that aren’t given then we do the same and it’s a foul and two players booked.

    Bellingham is always getting booked for being a gobby ****. He needs to grow out of it.

    In a @Bossman stylee, can I propose "Compressed" as an assessment of the first half?

    If Carsley doesn’t get Kane off here at half time he should quit being caretaker.

    Imho...well played Ireland....limited England to zero shots on target.
    That said 3 lions have been very lethargic and need to up the tempo.
    I would bring Kane off for Watkins and tell Gordon he has 10 mins

    Ah well Carsley ducked the big decision here at half time. Let’s hope Kane comes up trumps for him.

    Seems there's a lot more to the role of caretaker manager than I imagined.
