Players putting their hands on their chest. Ugghh

Thought eze was excellent when he came on. Some excellent touches

I just expect better with the players we have

Because we are patriotic but the football on show is turgid

Despite the scoreline at no point in the game have I thought wow this England team looks amazing

I see that but surely someone like eze would be a better change

Tyrone mings. Wtf?

Fucking dreadful

Dogshit first half. Malta came at us and we played the ball around the back most of the half. Don't see the point in Henderson and rice. I like Henderson but neither are creative. The only two who stood out were trent and maddison

Henderson rice isn't needed. I would have had rice holding with eze and maddison as advanced midfielders

How many Norwegians is that? Bohenin mgp berg byornabye King ostinstad

City are willing to let anyone go who doesn’t want to be there. The next player supposedly wanting out is silva. Would u describe him as a castoff?

How good has John stones become since he's moved into midfield. He's become like beckenbauer. His footwork to get out of tight spaces was immense last night. I thought he was city's best player. If only we had enough quality centrebacks for England for him to play that role

They had 4 English players involved

Some disgusting faking from inter. Trying to get foden sent off even though he never touched him. The goalkeeper also needs booking for time wasting

I agree he's not elite yet but once he plays alongside better players he will be

Rice's stats are In the top 10 midfielders in every department in the epl

According to stats last season the championship was the 5th best attended league in Europe

True. His transition play from winning possession and playing a forward accurate pass is statistically one of the best in the epl

Casemiro was fortunate to play alongside kroos and mordric for years. They made his job easier. We won't know just how good rice can be at club level until he plays alongside elite midfielders. He plays alongside Bellingham and its elevated him even more for England playing alongside an elite midfielder at international level. As u say though as an Industrious midfielder he is superb

Roy Keane was brilliant at getting his team to raise their levels. He was a leader but never a dictator of games. The juventus tie in turin in 99 was one of his best performances. He led by example

Rice isn't a dictator (no jokes) his game is based on covering for more technically gifted players. He is supreme at winning back possession. Playing it simple. He does have the ability to make runs with the ball. He's also a much better passer than people give him credit for. I would say kante wasn't brilliant in possession (I know I'll hear how good kante was on the ball, which isn't true). Hes similar to Roy Keane. He's only 24 so his potential is huge. What makes his and Bellingham's partnership in midfield so good is that they both have different strengths. Once he joins a club with better players he'll really shine

I heard about an Italian substitute saying why have England taken off rice in the euros final as he was bossing the midfield at that point

I believe he's up there as one of the top defensive midfielders in the world
