Exact team that beat City. Janssen is great at hold up, but their back line has no pace.. with Sonny up top and the 3 behind we could expose that.
This is becoming a long wait. Whats the point of WCQs. There are so many lesser teams, England will win all thier games?

And hopefully zero injuryI use to love Internationals.Just gets in the way of Spurs these days.
Does anyone need tickets I've got 3 for west brom all face value can't go!! 07775805714
Wouldn't imagine that they will defend much further than the edge of their penalty box, so pace is fairly redundant. Will sit and soak and hit long balls, aka the Pulis way.
He needs to be given the ball more. They need to find him more often ,rather than just let him win it and create his own efforts. He is really good in finding the space on top of all the other great things he's capable of doing.You're right. After looking at the WBA line up after the last few games we need a player who will hold the ball up and give their defenders a hard time.
Janssen looked good the other night for Holland, I think he just needs to be encouraged to shoot more, even if from distance. His left foot is wand, he's scored some brilliant goals. Get Son, Eriksen and Lamela off him.

Just like it was good that England drew Iceland in the euros as it was gonna be a walk in the park......

It's very easy to quote this after the game has finished, would you have been so confident to bet a months wage on the outcome?
The point I'm making is the England team should have wiped the floor with Iceland as well, but we all know how that ended up.
Also a 2-0 result against a team ranked 157 by FIFA (England 11) This is like a team from the premiership playing someone in the national league south...
Looking at there last results they lost 6-0 to Czech Republic.. and Scotland beat them 1-5....
2-0 is a pretty poor result if you ask me.
You can't compare Iceland and Malta. Iceland has had quite a few good results the las few years, they have a core with players playing at a decent level. They have the best generation of footballers they have had in their whole football history. Malta, let's see. No, none of the above.
if you read my original comment it was pointing out that with England you can't take anything for granted after the humilitation to Iceland, I find it funny that you are making excuses for the display against them? They may have the best generation of players but how many of them could compete in the EPL on a regular basis?also their manager is a dentist, not that I have anything against dentists.....
And last night was hardly a promising victory for England, and if it wasn't for dele, rose and walker etc I wouldn't even bother watching them.
