September 10, 20195 yr Author And now Harry Kane has as many goals as Bryon Robson on the all-time England goalscorer list with 26 goals. 2-1 now to England.
September 10, 20195 yr Keane & Maguire having a shocker tonight. As good as our forward players are we'll get absolutely ripped to shreds by any half decent team with our current defence (+ midfield).
September 10, 20195 yr Keane & Maguire having a shocker tonight. As good as our forward players are we'll get absolutely ripped to shreds by any half decent team with our current defence (+ midfield). Keane-Maguire-Rice as a back line 3 (if the full backs push on which it looks like Southgate is a fan of) is not good enough. Maguire was hopeless tonight, Keane is not a top level centre back and Rice has a long way to go yet. Some really basic errors which we need to cut out if we are going to trouble the Euros.

September 10, 20195 yr I didn't watch the match but that is some achievement for Kosovo to score 3 goals against England, on another day they could have beaten England.
September 11, 20195 yr Kosovo are a small country but they are always going to be technically good in that part of the world. Just shows when England play a decent team in the last 16 next summer they will struggle imo.
