    Was Tielemans wearing an invisibility cloak? No England player in the same time zone. Only Mainoo actually looking to become an England player, out of the newbies.

    Mainoo is absolute class though. Dunk and Cresswell can do one.

    Seems we have somehow produced a midfield full of generational talents but at the same time have a defence of sunday league part timers.

    U21's won 7 - 0. THB subbed off after the hour.

    I know this is going back a bit but I think it still holds true. When England won the world cup, IMO they had only 3 world class players, Banks, Moore and Bobby Charlton. The rest were good but Ramsey knew how to set up the team and get the best out of them. Tonight we have Bellingham, Foden and Rice playing and with Kane and Grealish to come back. If the rest were so hopelessly behind those it might make sense but I think any decent manager would get a good team out of what he's got available.

    Add Rio Ferdinand, Ashley Cole and Sol Campbell to this team and it would be genuinely world class.

    I just love Foden. He is the complete player for me. Works his ass off. Can pick a pass. Wonderful control. Dribbles for fun.

    Saka, Maino (by the looks of it) and Palmer have all been incredible this season too

    Ref is a joke. 3 cynical Belgian fouls this half abd the first time an England player does it he gives a yellow.

    It never even crossed my mind to watch England this evening, I’ve had Wales v Poland on from the start

    Final ball from England too loose. Nobody trying to shoot from distance.

    I don’t think England were very poor. I think we have dominated and made good chances. We are a different side without Kane. What is clear is we do not have any squad depth at the back compared to the top nations.

    Glad we got that equaliser. I thought we deserved something tonight.

    Just seen Stones went off injured. Pep's potentially lost 2 players for the Arsenal game on Sunday.

    Harry McGuire will be glad to see the England defence is just as bad when he isn’t in it.
