I didn't ever envisage Bamford starting for England. It's a good opportunity to see how the fringe players perform which is quite well up to now, despite the low level of opposition.

Not sure he'll play again.
Bit of a non game for England.
Good to give the squad players game time and the spaces should open up second half when Andorra tire.
Surely only a matter of time before Bellingham is a regular. Fantastic talent, although he does tend to hang onto the ball a bit too long at times.

Not sure it works playing Alexander-Arnold further forward.
He's used to having everything in front of him, not playing with his back to goal, which he quite often has been.
Chance here from the free kick for Trent.

I don’t see an England player there. I’m struggling to see a Premier League player, if I’m honest.

Been a bit too easy in some ways. England getting so much time on the ball that they're delaying passes too long.
Kane, Mount and Grealish on now.
 
Lovely football between Grealish and Mount leading to the penalty.
Never a doubt Harry would put it away.
 
I reckon if trippier had a red shirt on he would be the Andorra’s most successful passer of the ball. James is not good enough and I’ll be glad if bamford never gets another chance to be anywhere near an England shirt again. He is pushing Phil Neville to being the worst player to play for England

Only two caught my eye today Bellingham & Lingard, bit of a mis match & was hoping for at least 6 & my prediction would’ve been right, lot of possession but didn’t do a lot with it, must’ve been watching A side play

Agreed on Bamford.
Trippier is an excellent defender, but playing him on the left has the double whammy of him not being great going forward and being right footed.
Really missed Shaw there.
Disagree about James.
Superb footballer imo.

I saw a lot of 8-0 type predictions in the prediction thingy and wondered whether people knew Southgate was planning to rest the entire first team?
England can't really win un these type of games, apart from physically getting the 3 points of course.
Andorra were well organised and we just didn't move the ball quickly enough till the three subs were made.
You'd have thought these players would have really busted a gut, but with it being too easy they didn't bother to really raise the tempo apart from Lingard and occasionally Bellingham.
Saka too at least upped the ante at times.
