Slovakia v England Matchday Thread

[wolves71]

England: Hart; Walker, Cahill, Stones, Rose; Dier, Henderson; Lallana, Rooney, Sterling; Kane

It's Sam Allardyce's first competitive game in charge in this one. It's not going to be easy, but i still expect England to get something from the game.

I think it will be a tie. Just found a stream for the game but in all honesty I can't say that I much enthusiasm for the game.

Deadfull bloody strip they are playing in, looks like something Turkmenistan would wear!

Looks like the same old rubbish to me. Nothing new to see here!

To be fair to Allardyce, he hasn't really had much time to work with the players.

This is true but it still disappoints me that other than Llana there is no real flair in the side at all.

A couple of shaky moments at the back so far for England. Both Stones and Danny Rose almost punished for their mistakes. It's in the final third where England are lacking so far, England breaking quick, but the final ball has let them down.

Skrtel finally sent off, a time bomb waiting to explode, he deserves to go. England need to make the extra man count now.

It's not happening for Harry Kane in front of goal tonight, poor first touch. I'm not surprised to see Kane replaced by Sturridge. Lallana was so unlucky with his chance that came back off the post, the closest so far for England.

If any player has deserved a goal in this game, it has to be Lallana, third time lucky for him after going close twice in this half. It's the 1-0 win that counts, the performance hasn't been great, but three points on the board.
