While it might have been a case of ‘job done’ for Gareth Southgate, the performance of his England side against Lithuania on Sunday left a lot to be desired.Fair enough, Lithuania had 10 men behind the ball for long periods of the match, but the 77,600 people who turned up at Wembley Stadium - plus the millions watching at home on TV - were hoping for a bit more excitement.England won 2-0 thanks to goals either side of half-time from Jermain Defoe and Jamie Vardy but, as a spectacle, this match was instantly forgettable.Thousands of people watching the 2018 World Cup qualifier from home took to Twitter to express their boredom and you can understand their frustrations.England currently sit 14th in the FIFA Rankings. Lithuania are below Mozambique and Mauritania in 107th. This should have been a walkover for the hosts.

England fans should have listened to Redknapp

You have to feel for the fans who part with their hard-earned cash to watch England in every home qualifier and friendly. Then again, nobody is forcing them to go.

For those regretting their decision to watch England this weekend, perhaps they should have listened to Harry Redknapp.

The veteran British coach, speaking after England played Malta and Slovenia, perfectly summed up how many football fans feel about international breaks.

“We don’t win anything!” Redknapp said on BT Sport. “We qualify, we beat all these teams, 10 out of 10 we win. We get to the tournament – useless.

“I’ve even lost interest, I’m sitting the other night and not even watching the game.

“I hear the commentator go ‘we’re playing Malta and this number 18, he works at the checkout counter in the week’.

“I’m thinking, ‘what am I watching this for?’. I can’t wait for the Premier League to start again. I’m excited, coming here, watching a proper game [Crystal Palace v West Ham].

“That fortnight [international break], for me, is a dead fortnight.”
