Just goes to show football is a funny old game and we shouldn’t take anything for granted.

A country our size has no divine right to be thrashing anyone.
Absolutely we don’t and I don’t think we ever find it easy being the favourites going into a game and struggle to break teams down - Moldova of late aside.

I do think yesterday was the tip of the iceberg as it follows on from 2 games where we have been really poor and again against Azerbaijan appeared to lack a plan or or identity. I think we have a much better squad in terms of quality than the one that went to Euro 2016, but at least that team had a plan and style of play that everyone bought into. Here’s hoping with maybe Ramsey back things will improve this time around.
