    Wow, what a goal for the 5th from Kane.
  • Spurs fans entitled to ask where this guy has been all season.

    Although i suppose under Nuno they weren't exactly creating bundles of chances.

    Said to my wife after Maguire made it 1-0 I might have a bet on Kane to score a hat trick. Got up to check work emails and Kane scored. 

    Anyone know what odds it was?

    Commentator says, "the deflection took it away from the keeper" - like he was gonna get near that anyway!
  • Considering their keeper and 4 defenders all play in Serie A, Albania have defended like a sunday league team.

    He's only had 3 training sessions with Conte.

    Just pleased he has finally woken from his slumber.

    Tottenham should’ve gone all out for Southgate.

    Really enjoyed that half.

    Southgate you're so negative, only 5-0 at HT.

    wow.
  • Imagine being able to score a bicycle kick, inside the 6 yard box, from a corner where the opposition have 11 men in the box. Taking nothing away from the technique and this is all good and fun smashing the goals in left right and centre, but this is why international footballs current qualification setup is shite.

    To be fair Hungary lost in Albania yet got a well deserved point @ Wembley...

    We were poor last time out, but Albania are ordinarily no mugs - A large part of that half was down to how good England were, rather than how shite Albania have been, the latter have just given up

    I am waiting for the usual suspects to come and moan that it should be 6.....

    Why? They’ve got 15 points in the group. They’re just playing shit and we’ve been ruthless.

    To be fair, Kane should have scored another two goals

    Only 7/1 on Betfair - Albania are naff and they knew it.

    Albania are playing poorly and a style they wouldn’t usually play (they needed to win) but England have been sublime. The passing is crisp and the movement has been superb. We are so much better with two proper CM’s and allows our wing backs can get forward. 
    Can you play two "proper" CMs against a Germany, Brazil etc? 
    Not sure if you’re being sarcastic or not lol. We played Rice and Philips against Germany.
  • Long since given up criticising Southgate's negativity as he gets results but technically that is EIGHT defensive players at home to Albania.

    I say technically because you'd assume James and Chilwell won't be that defensive, but even so. 
    Yep, we are defending well.

    Agree. We should be putting them to the sword. Definite missed opportunity.

    If we're being critical, he could have had 5 or 6 that half.  But hey, nice to see him playing as the last man and looking like his old self.

    8.0 will be my prediction right now.

    Two players most people would say are DCMs?  I thought that was your point, maybe I understood what you ment.

    Edit ignore all of that, I confused myself lol
