Our 4 out first, loved that!

Agreed. After all the recent doom and gloom. To see 4 of the England starting line up being current or very recent Clarets is pretty amazing.
Maybe just a reality check on how far we have come!

This passing it amongst the back line is totally alien to nick

I missed the announcement, but who were all the random punters being remembered along with ex players?

And Leighton James got a mention........

It’s all Claret!!!!!!!!

England playing out from the back - it’ll not end well

Tripps captain. Brilliant
My favourite Claret in recent years

Pope
Trippier
Keane
Ings

Not bad!

Gudmundsson has an assist for Iceland.
Peacock-Farrell has let one in for NI.

Who is this Saka lad?

He needs to sort his legs out!

Arsenal player. Who I rate quite well from the bits I've seen recently

14 minutes in and Harry Winks hasn’t touched the ball yet, I can’t understand the hype

To see Tripps lead out England tonight followed immediately by Nick Pope, Keane & Ings was a special sight.

Yes and definitely a lot more entertaining than the game so far

I sent in a question in to the AGM they held online when Tripps and Ings were playing for us, and I my question was do you think that Ings and Tripps should be considered for an England call up. Dyche responded we shouldnt get carried away with ourselves...

Calvert-Lewin heads in

Great play from Grealish.

That's 2 world beating saves from Nick .

I commented on this to the Mrs and about Harvey Barnes Burnley connexion.

Plus how they stood together during the anthems

Knee in the mush for Nick.

Darn, I missed that bit, just got in as they were kneeling before kick off. Could anyone possible post a picture, that would be one for the archives.

How far from being an international footballer is Saka?
Give him some age group games. He’s miles short of this poor level.

Strong jaw from Pope there saving at the strikers feet and taking a whack

It’s on another thread.

My thoughts of Southgate get worse, with each team ge sends out.

Too many players with zero caps. The idea should be to field 7 or 8 of the first team and try to introduce a limited amount of newcomers. That way you see how the new ones blend with the main players.

One thing revealed is that the young players are really inexperienced and without their more senior club colleagues around them, look like novices. They should not be near the national team, yet, if ever.

Give them a chance to learn at their club!

Knee Vs Pope's face. Pope stands up straight away! Guy with knee still on floor..

I wish we had a right footed winger who could whip in crosses like Grealish. Bad marking but put it on a plate for Calvert-Lewin. Just the right amount of pace and distance from the keeper.

He’s looked a mile out of his depth so far.

Thanks, much appreciated.

It's not been a great game, but great play from Grealish for the goal, and Calvert-Lewin doing what he does these days, Pope has been solid enough, and he produced one impressive piece of keeping, but he's not had a lot to do.

It must be many moons since England have had 4 starters with Burnley connections, and this shows the huge progression we've made as a club.

Kane's a fine striker but it's great to have someone up top who enjoys winning headers. Encourages the lads to get some crosses in.

Pope, Grealish and Calvert-Lewin seem to have been the players up to now.

I prefer this line-up to when Kane and Sterling play.
A bit of indecision at the back, but that is to be expected.
NP has done fine, did he catch that header a foot above the bar

Just had a notification from the FOTMOB App that Wales have equalised, they must be good to score during half time.

Haha quite possibly! I didn't even ask for the notifcations as I was watching the game!

Northern Ireland have equalised in Bosnia, and the ROI are still 0-0 in Slovakia, so an all Irish showdown is still on the table, though both are finding it tough tonight.

Brady on for the Republic 60 mins.

7 Clarets/ex-clarets on the pitch for their respective nations!

Whoops forgot JBG so it is 8

2-0 great ball in from Tripps.

An assist for Tripps there, brilliant finish from Coady,

Superb cross from Tripps for second goal

Feel a bit sorry for the lads making their debuts in such weird circumstances. Particularly Calvert Lewin and Coady getting on the scoresheet and it being in an empty stadium.

Tripps subbed.

And now Tripps is replaced possibly with Sunday in mind.

Ings with the third.

Ings has definitely improved since leaving us

What a ball from Pope out to the right.

Ings goal.

Yes it must be a hollow feeling for that duo, they've scored at Wembley, and it's greeted by silence.

What an overhead by Danny, it's been a good night for the ex-clarets, now we just need Nick to maintain his clean sheet to round the evening off.
