Czechs outplayed up and England deserved to lose, spent the whole first half being negative, second half they were better but not much, but you can't spend the whole game defending like that and not expect to lose.


I don't mind Roy Keane making £60,000 a week. I was making the same when I was playing. The only difference was I was printing my own - Mickey Thomas

The area you are trying to protect at corners is the goal - Chris Kamara

Didn't look interested or committed in the slightest. Outplayed by a hard working team that defended well and took their chances. It was depressing watching players stand there when we had throw ins. No movement, no desire.

No great surprise that a defence comprised mostly of mid to low table Premiership players should struggle a bit. That said, Rice might as well have not been playing and Henderson wasn't much better. If you've got two defensive midfielders on the pitch, you'd sort of hope they would do a bit more defending. Central midfield definitely still our main weakness. Just no balance there.

Surprised it has been 10 years since we last lost a qualifier because I remember some really bad performances (worse than tonight) during that time. We just didn't take any of the few other chances we created when in past qualifiers we've nicked one.

Southgate fanny’s around with the defence game in game out keeps the front 3 relatively stable so (other than tonight) we score a few but leak more.

He’s an intelligent bloke so I can’t understand why he picks Keane who for club and country looks nothing like international class.

Keane is an old fashioned centre half but that's not really enough in the present day. Reminds me of a slightly sub-par Cahill. Both looked very awkward when they had the ball at their feet.

Maguire was a bit below the required level last night as well. His big money move certainly hasn't improved his game and Rose was out of sorts as well. Real issues in defence at present.

That said, Southgate shouldn't have played around with the formation and it would have been much better with Barkley starting as one of the middle two.

Got to be said, Sancho has ability, but he struck me as a bit lightweight and, well, lazy, last night.

That was hard work, watching that last night!

Definitely need to get that defence sorted. A shame Ludvig isn't English!

Having seen enough decent England performances over the last 18 months I am going to cut them some slack and put it down to 'an off day'. I know the pundits referred to this but the tempo was too slow. Easy options were taken rather than risking passes which would have broken through their midfield. I genuinely think Maddison is the real deal and think he will add to the team.
