Hard to believe Mart Poom still plays in goal for the Estonian national side. Well on the bench. The man celebrated his 44th birthday last week.

Walcott and Sterling look quite sharp. Lallana's got such lovely control and such precious little else. I know it's nils, but England look a lot better without Rooney. Just not sure Kane is the answer either.

What a great pass by Barkley. Good finish too.

Can't watch - is Walcott playing CF or on the wing? He didn't score, but the performance against Manchester United was his best as a CF yet.

He's on the right, Kane up front, Sterling on the left.

Technically Walcott is playing RW, but he's found himself in a central position on several occasions.

On another note, why is Casillas still starting for Spain?

Macclesfield Town/Manchester City. It's complicated.
Offside isn't he?

Cahill, Milner and Lallana aren't good enough. Or Barkley atm. At the Euros, it should be Smalling (who's developing pretty nicely) and Stones but of course Roy will stick with Cahill.

I like Clyne. Not really seen him before.

The confidence is OOZING out of Walcott. It's disgusting.

Lallana looked good tonight. Under Klopper I reckon he will end up justifying his price tag. He certainly hasn't yet.

I think he'll improve under Klopp, too. He gets the most from his wing/full backs.
Good news for England (bad news for anyone who, like me, hates Liverpool).

Lallana off for Oxlades. Lallana's been alright but I'm not convinced he'll ever be more than window dressing.

Kane is making me miss Rooney.

I don't really get Sterling. He's undoubtedly a THREAT, but where's the end product? He can't shoot or cross. Really strange.

Yup, he's shit. I was glad when we sold him.

Yeah, end product is not quite there yet. He's little bit special talent, though. Only 20.

He's scored a goal now, so that's something.

Does end product come with age though? Sometimes you've either got it or you haven't. His technique just seems all wrong and it's not like his shots are even close despite finding himself in promising positions time and time again.

Can do. One of the two best players in the world used to get slagged off for having no end product.

Or he could just turn out like Danny Welbeck.

He's got that really weird running style that's just wrong for a footballer.

Haha Slovenia can only manage a home draw with Lithuania. Hope Rep of Ireland draw them in the Play offs!

Shows a mockery of the group though. Estonia failed to get 6/6 from San Marino while Slovenia failed to get 6/6 from Lithuania! :eye:

I'm clearly out of the loop these days, I have no idea who Dele Alli is, let alone what he's doing in an England shirt. Crikey.

This is exactly why I wanted a hard qualifying group. Estonia, Lithuania and Slovenia couldn't be a duller set of 3rd - 5th seeds. We're cruising to 10/10 wins and learning very little along the way.

The disappointing thing is that the 2016 WC qualifying group isnt that much better. The toughest away in Slovakia out the way again much like in this group first then thats really it apart from the Sctoland Games! We have to look forward to Slovenia and Lithuania again

Its pretty much beat Slovakia away and you are 99% qualified again.
