Keeper should have cleared it or claimed it.

Agree about Barkley. He often looks sluggish but is much sharper tonight.
Yes I've watched the game.
The front 3 are brilliant, the midfield is functional at best.
It's fine against Kosovo but in the big tournament games against elite opposition the likes of Henderson and Barkley aren't good enough and we struggle.
That's why I said ideally we'd have a top class midfielder. This is pretty basic stuff, I don't understand how it's confusing you
exactly, he just lets it run across on the 6 yard box
No Maddison or Mount....sack Southgate 
Hey it's works for Liverpool. Problem is Chilwell isn't as good as Robertson and Kane isn't as dynamic as Firmino.
Firmino is absolutely crucial to their system you're right.
Makes the whole thing work.
I really don't think he's that good, but that's for another conversation.
If we have a playmaker in midfield we won’t play how we have, I said before we look good tonight cause every goal is on the break, we can’t play like that against the elite, we simply won’t get the opportunity to. So if we do have a creative player we will play very differently.
Kosovo have pulled a goal back. 5-2.
Where’s TAA? 
This sloppiness will really hurt England against good teams.
Engalnd's defence is rubbish.
That would totally change how we are playing, right now we are looking wide with pace, those 2 would change the play to through the middle.No Maddison or Mount....sack Southgate
AWB will be first choice. Much more defensively sound.
Rice kills his good performance.
Perfect opportunity to test someting new.
It’s a balance Trent was amazing going forward, he seen so much of the ball in the final third. It’s up to Southgate to have a Plan B and C.
Possibly but football doesn’t really work like that.
Penalty to Kosovo.
That's awful Harry.
Got to find a better option than Rice, reckon he's well overrated.
Oh dear oh dear.
England sloppy as shit
Maybe a stronger midfield would help a bit ....

Jesus what a dive embarrassing
Penalty for Kosovo.....amazing match.....Maguire 
Maguire might be in trouble after that.
Reece James has a serious stance of staking a claim if he can hit the ground running with us.
He's a lot more balanced fullback than Bissaka and Trent who are heavy going one way.
80 million pound defender....
Maguire hacks down Andy Carroll.
Shouldn't be conceding 3 goals at home to Kosovo ffs...
G'wan Kosovo, they're a bit shoddy at the back but all things considered a remarkable achievement to be where they are.
I said before they have passed it about a lot better than England in the first half.
Shocking stuff from England
You'd get better passes between Douglas Bader and Long John Silver than most of these England players.
If we only knew how to defend and didn't miss 5 starters tonight, we could have given a good match to England. Still very happy that we scored 3 times away to England.
To think we were blessed with central defence options like Ferdinand, Campbell, Terry and King a while ago...
Henderson, Barkley and Rice. What absolute toss.
A man who knows his history.
Technically we're on the road...
Harry Winks should be walking into this England midfield. At the very least he’d complement Henderson or Rice more so than they complement each other. He actually values the ball, for one.
Good run from Barkley
It's like they came out thinking they could just stroll through the second half. They have under-estimated Kosovo's spirit and are struggling. Penalty to England.
