ENGLAND fans were fighting against the urge to hit their pillows after a "snooze fest" first half against Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The Three Lions were playing in their first Euro 2024 warm-up game at St James' Park.
Manager Gareth Southgate handed full debuts to Crystal Palace star Eberechi Eze and Chelsea ace Cole Palmer in the hopes of sprucing up the attack.
However, as England hunted for a first win of 2024, the team put out managed just five shots at goal in a drab display.
At the blow of the half-time whistle, fans took to social media to vent their displeasure at the football being played.
