    Pickford always looks like he is about to make a mistake when he is on the ball.

    We've seen energetic starts from Ireland before. It's nice to see, don't get me wrong, but how they're playing after 25 minutes will be more indicative of their overall ability.

    Kane with a fine chance, should have scored.

    Meh, ordinarily I'd agree but Grealish and Rice have it coming.

    Jesus we've been taking horrible touches in great positions. Ogbene after the Szmodics shot took about 3 touches to get it under control earlier, and there the same thing happened again just now - one decent touch and we'd have been in.

    Thought the same, very poor ball control, like they’re really nervous or something.

    The muted celebration makes no sense. It's like he's scored against his old club, he should have just celebrated it, not like he's got any credit with the Irish people to begin with.

    It's just the gulf in class between the sides.

    England's last game was the final of the European championships. Ireland can just about beat sides like Gibraltar and Latvia etc, no surprises we're taking poor touches in the opposition half and leaving huge gaps at the back.

    The only surprising thing here is that England aren't 3 or 4 up by now.

    Ah let him off, he has been in major international finals with his country.

    He made his choice and if it was me I would have done the same.

    Not his fault we struggle at this level

    Anyhow that's just my opinion

    There's obviously the gulf in class, but beyond that it's been a very nervy looking first 20 minutes. On our rare breaks, lads are taking poorer touches than they do week in week out, even when under no pressure. They just look maybe a bit too emotionally pumped up. Will hopefully settle down a bit as it goes on.

    Idiots booing Rice because he played underage for Ireland. Do they not realise he's English?

    We are better set up defensively which is a positive but England just have too much quality.

    Exactly. What the hell were the defenders doing having a debate after Kelleher's initial save? No pressure on Gordon getting the ball back into the box. Ridiculous

    Celebrating scoring isn't offensive, unless he's goading the Irish fans.

    He's acknowledging the situation, big deal, he shouldn't have ever put a green shirt on to begin with, then there'd be no situation, Harry Kane could have played for Ireland, he's not getting booed today because he didn't treat Ireland as a stepping stone.

    Ireland aren't struggling because Rice or Grealish aren't playing for us, the problems we have are much deeper than that but people have a right to call them out.

    Both of them now. Dreadful stuff.

    I think that applies to Graelish. Not so much Rice though - he played senior ball for us, and kissed the badge when doing so, before switching.
