    But I haven't seen England pass the ball like that for a long time. Maybe ever.

    They were dogshit though. This group gives us absolutely no idea of how we are progressing. Tuesday will though. It never looked like anything but an easy win tonight though whereas we have struggled with some games like this before.

    wish they could do that at world cups and euros, but just seem to s h i t near anyone half decent.

    Much more intensity. Pressed higher up and the ball didn't spend as much time at the centre halfs feet as usual.

    Thought England did a thoroughly professional job, passed, kept ball, created and took chances.
    But Lithuania were really poor, seen lower ranked teams that come in and shut up shop, frustrate and take some breaking down - Lithuania didn't offer that.
