    "We have to understand you're not going to win games against decent opposition playing like this. If you go into a tournament and put in these sorts of performances, you'll get battered.

    "You've got to put in decent performances time after time to give yourself a chance at a tournament."

    A perfect record for England, but a far from perfect performance. In all honesty it was a stinker for a hour before it came into life. Roy Hodgson sheepishly shakes hands with opposite number Srecko Katanec and Wayne Rooney refuses to swap this shirt - his 100th cap has ended with a goal and a win.

    "Sometimes, I don't think you should give a man of the match. England haven't performed.

    "What we've seen against San Marino and tonight, haven't really impressed at all. What happens when we get to France is what they'll be judged on."

  5. INJURY TIMEpublished at 18:46 Greenwich Mean Time 15 November 2014

    THREE MINUTES added on as England just tick the clock over. A few heads scratched here as Jack Wilshere is named man of the match...

    Adam Harridence:, external What has Ross Barkley got to do to get on the pitch? We are supposed to be developing our players. 3-1 up and Milner comes on.

    Chris Harvey:, external Has Jordan Henderson done anything positive for England? I'm thinking ever by the way, not just tonight.

    Duncan Moris:, external I love Welbeck, his attitude and tenacity are just superb. Sturridge is better but I won't complain if Welbeck keeps his place.

  7. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 18:44 Greenwich Mean Time 15 November 2014

    Phil Jagielka was injured as he got booked a few minutes ago. Who do you need to plug that gap? Chris Smalling wins his 14th cap...

  8. YELLOW CARDpublished at 18:42 Greenwich Mean Time 15 November 2014

    Phil Jagielka is booked for a foul on halfway - he was given a hospital pass from Gary Cahill. Concentration isn't their strong suit.

    James in Norfolk: Well done Nathaniel Clyne! First match in a long time (possibly since Gary Neville) where I haven't been worried about England's right-back. Looks comfortable in attack and defence and even willing to take one for the team.

    Max Young:, external Manchester United sold the wrong English striker!

    James Attenborough:, external Danny Welbeck - consistently better for his country than his club teams!

    Dennis Waithera:, external Welbeck is reliable then. Hey English people back your boy!

    Another bad night for former England coach Fabio Capello as his Russia side trail 1-0 in Austria to a goal from substitute Rubin Okotie in Group G. Capello has not been paid since June.

    I'd imagine Roy Hodgson will be ultimately happy with tonight's display - and England could have a fourth. Danny Welbeck starts it again with some adept hold-up play, Jordan Henderson bursts forward and has Wayne Rooney in the middle but can't find him.

    Raheem Sterling - off colour largely tonight- is replaced by Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.

  13. YELLOW CARDpublished at 18:37 Greenwich Mean Time 15 November 2014

    Danny Welbeck, footballing genius! He's at it again, a lovely one-two on the edge of the box opens up the space and he then beats another man before his shot is well blocked. Raheem Sterling is booked in the aftermath for kicking the ball away.

    "This isn't the time to bring James Milner on. If Jose Mourinho made this substitute in the Premier League or England were playing a top side like Germany, you'd understand it but England aren't going to lose this game. It's a very negative, defensive change."

    They could be dancing on the streets of Liechtenstein - and Darlington - tonight.

    Captain Franz Burgmeier, who plays his club football in Switzerland but spent a season with the Quakers in 2008-09, has put them 1-0 up in Moldova with a sweetly struck free-kick.

  16. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 18:35 Greenwich Mean Time 15 November 2014

    James Milner - a perennial 79th-minute substitute - is on in place of Adam Lallana.

    "The shape's a bit better. I don't think Danny Welbeck likes being out on the left but he's scored two good goals.

    "Whether it's because England have stretched them, I don't know but Slovenia have come right off the pace, they look a tired side."

  18. Postpublished at 18:33 Greenwich Mean Time 15 November 2014

    What happened to kick England into life when they conceded? That is the key lesson Roy Hodgson will have to extract from this post mortem. If England play like they have for the last 15 minutes, and Scotland play like they did last night, then Tuesday's friendly should be very, very good indeed...

    "Danny Welbeck never lets England manager Roy Hodgson down and he has done the trick again here. His second goal was his fifth in England's Euro 2016 qualifying campaign already. Bit of an unsung hero for England but vital to Hodgson's plans."

    Phil Baker:, external Did I just watch a genuinely good England goal? Unbelievable scenes, totally out of place in this game.

    Stacy Phillips:, external Wait, when did we substitute the whole team? This isn't the same England team that played in the first half?!
