Nonsense. He struck a football and it didn’t go where he wanted. The “bottle” is being willing to take it in the first place.

If you’re dismissing over 50 goals for England on the strength of one miss…well…grow up.

If you can’t tolerate an opinion that differs to your own, maybe you should have a look in the mirror. 

I prefer someone who’d have stuck that penalty in when it mattered over their individual record any day IMO.

As for talk of redemption, he doesn’t gain that in a meaningless qualifier IMO; he gains that by doing it a knockout game at a major tournament.

It doesn’t boil down solely to Mancini, mate. Italy are fishing in a shallow pool for talent, and are at their lowest ebb right now. 

Yeah the stat earlier about having 3 teams in the QF of the champions league, but only 7 players in those teams that are eligible to play for Italy. That is staggering.

True, literally have no strikers. As I say that, they score.... !!

3 Italian teams left in the Champions League with a combined number of 7 Italian players playing for them.. and people say we have problems in England with the amount of foreigners in the Prem. Italy seemingly have it much worse in the Serie A..

Eh? What are you on about “tolerating an opinion”?! It’s called disagreeing with you.

Kane has scored plenty “when it mattered”. Not least of all in the shoot out at a Euros final in front of his own fans. He just happened to miss that one.

A qualifier away against a likely rival for a qualification place is not “meaningless” by the way.

Maguire losing the ball, this playing out from the back bollox causes so many needless issues.

It does, but Maguire has to do better with that pass. Not a difficult ball. Then typical Maguire trying to make good his mistake charges in without control, gets booked and leaves his man with a free run on goal. 

Needs to repay that with a slab-head finish from one of our corners.

I watch a fair bit of Serie A and it's loaded with former Premier League players. It's almost like going back in time and watching the Prem from 5 years ago.

The standard and style of football is generally decent though, hence a strong showing from Italian teams in the CL.

Amazing how our players get booked for time wasting when teams like Italy, Argentina and Portugal rarely do. 

Maybe we’re not as good at it?! 

Seriously, how many times this season could we have done with a ref at Ashton Gate who was serious about stopping time wasting?

Just now, The Coach said:

Why would you take Foden off after 10 mins? More sense to take Saka off

I'd have said a centre mid, you've now got Bellingham in what is essentially a LM position even if they are going to be narrow
