England U21s

[Tilbury]

I really hope no one is left out that could play. What a great experience it would be to go to an international tournament without all the national pressure that surrounds a senior one.

 

[ArmchairDiehard]

I don't see any real point in taking Sterling to be honest. I agree that tournament experience would be good for his development, but he's pretty much a fully fledged senior international isn't he?

Harry Kane and Ross Barkley would certainly be in the squad though.

So the squad has been chopped down and Southgate has left our Woodrow, Afobe, Bamford, and Dier. Bamford is injured, Woodrow isn't good enough, and Afobe hasn't really been involved thus far, but leaving out Dier is an odd one. Southgate says it's because he already has lots of good CBs and Dier was left out because he can be back for the next campaign, but then, that doesn't explain why Chambers is still in the squad. I suspect Dier just made it known that he would be with his club than sit on the bench for the U21s.

Dissapointed Afobe was left out, best goal to game ratio in the country. Hope the big nosed fucker knows what he's doing

 

[Ebeneezer Goode]

U21s v Belarus: Butland (c), Jenkinson, Garbutt, Stones, Gibson; Ward-Prowse, Carroll, Hughes; Redmond, Berahino, Pritchard.

 

[Super_horns]

0-0 HT.

Playing ok but not enough getting in behind their defence.

 

[Ebeneezer Goode]

Been like the Moldova game during the qualifiers. All they want to do is park the bus.

 

[WAP]

Glad we got the goal in the end, hoping for a much better tournament than 2 years ago.

[markwwfc1992]

Kourtney Hause, Christ we are desperate

Dominic Iorfa is alright but certainly isn't England U21 level I would have thought.

 

[TomPNE94]

Eric Dier is fucking toilet.

 

[markwwfc1992]

Yeh, need more Dominic Iorfa

 

[Costello]

More Solly March in the qualifier please.

 

[SF_]

Well that was dull, Joe Gomez at right back was fucking awful and Woodrow up front was so isolated it was untrue.

Very, very reliant on Nathan Redmond this team.

 

[Megaclyde]

(Nearly) All good USA play came through Eric Dier...

[markwwfc1992]

Dominic Iorfa's run for the third goal

 

[WAP]

The game went as expected to be fair, job done.

 

[SF_]

Now that is what you call distribution from Pickford.

 

[AFCB_Mark]

Pretty chuffed for Baily Cargill getting an U21 callup.

Although probably unlikely that he'd make the starting defence at this stage.

 

[Ebeneezer Goode]

Iorfa is fucking woeful.

 

[markwwfc1992]

Iorfa is fucking woeful.

What did/didn't he do this time?

 

[Nilsson]

Fair play Duncan Watmore, completely changed the game.

 

[DarkSithLord]

Duncan Watmore is a bit special aint he?

 

[Ebeneezer Goode]

Na.

 

[Megaclyde]

Good dive though
