MINI REPORT
Another match another poor performance as England struggled to break down an unadventurous Israel side in Tel Aviv. England dominated possession as Israel showed little interest in attacking but their chronic lack of goals again cost them dear. England’s one goal in the last five matches is the worst run since 1981.

AFTER MATCH COMMENTS

Coach Steve McClaren saw shot-shy England booed off by their own supporters once more and admitted the goalless draw with Israel was 'not good enough'.

"To dominate the game and have the chances we did and not score was disappointing and not good enough," he said.

"Either it didn't fall for us or it was poor quality or poor decision-making.

"It feels like a defeat because we created enough opportunities to win the game comfortably.

"We are disappointed and frustrated by our failure to execute. We got the ball in the right areas but failed to make the decisive pass, so, of course, the fans are going to show their frustration. The players are gutted too."
