u-21s

[Simon Morgan]

Losing 2-0 to Norway. Hilarious how people wet themselves about the likes of Butland, Rose, Chalobah, Henderson, Ince, Zaha but put them in an England shirt = utter bollocks. Rather like the senior team.

Are they all playing? After the last game I saw one journalist say to wait until everyone is back before judging them.

 

[stss30]

Let's be fair, a lot of people don't rate them that highly. I'd say about 2/3 of them will go on to play for our first team.

Stuart Pearce may have something to do with it. Give peter Taylor the job back

Apart from Henderson they are all good players, but not great players, we are playing with no striker and the defenders are shit, that's why we are losing

Overpaid wannabee's

 

[Bladders]

How can we be losing if Zaha is playing?

 

[GoingUp]

They are fckn My bets up, twats, they are useless... Hoddle saying We are passing the ball well Worrying people linking him with Brighton if thats his assessment at half time...

Yep. Lost 5 games in 41, utterly useless.

It is rather like the senior team- looked good in qualifying but don't turn up at the tournament. I think I heard 9 clean sheets and 11 unbeaten before this!!! Pathetic.

Pen to england

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

Another abject, appalling performance. Team selection very questionable, can't defend. Zaha played like he was being marked by Bridge

Team had no shape or balance to it.

Picking all the "tricky" hyped-up players who are all shown to be average.

Just hope Pearce isn't in the frame for our job (should it arise...)

 

[Marxo]

Whether Pearce is any good or not it's an almost impossible job to mold the U21's into a team. Apart from the fact that many players who are eligible are never available, the team isn't a team, each match seems to have a different starting line-up. I agree about Peter Taylor, he seemed to have the knack of getting the best out of the players no matter how much the team changed from match to match. If the FA took the U21's more seriously they'd probably do much better.

[The Modfather]

But isn't everyone calling for the youngsters to replace the old guard?

Unfortunately, I do not see a better left back than Cole, or a midfielder who regularly scores 20 goals a season to replace Lampard. There is definitely not a centre forward better than an overweight, fading Rooney.

I do actually feel quite sorry for him. His price tag has put him under an enormous amount of pressure.

Nobody wants to be the biggest waste of money in history.

That is too simple and to think some fools want him to take over from Gus.
