Under 21s

[TheHitman]

Didn't see the goal. What kinda mistakes from Jones?

 

I'm only playing it wasn't a mistake by Jones,he actually looks quite comfortable with the ball at his feet.

[Chocoholic]

Where was the wonderful £20M manc defender for that goal? Did he have any involvement?

[Red House]

Jeffren has been a lil' bit shit so far! On the other hand, Mata and that goalscorer, Ander Herrera, have shown some classy touches.

[Redder Lurtz]

Mata looks quality. Are we likely to get him?

[James Dean]

That Ander Herrera has been ace.

 

Jeffren and Mata poor so far.

[bizzle10]

mata looks good more a david silva type rather than an out and out winger

[The Dude Abides]

Where was the wonderful £20M manc defender for that goal? Did he have any involvement?

 

The gulf in class here is quite staggering.

 

I'd give one of my testicles for us to sign Mata. None of the English boys can do what he is doing...the first touch and spacial awareness in tight areas. *sigh* We need to do all we can to sign him.

 

But he won't run to the byline and whip in crosses for big Andy Carroll. :whatever:

The mere fact that Mancienne is the captain shows that we're going out in the group stages.

[gkmacca]

I came in late to this and Martin Tyler seems to have an aversion to say who's on the ball. England look woeful though.

[TheHitman]

Thiago made a mug of Mancienne there. Nearly 70% of the ball for Spain.

loosing the game in midflield here

[RobbieOR]

That Ander Herrera has been ace.

 

Jeffren and Mata poor so far.

 

Poor? What game are you watching? His touch is sublime.

[RobbieOR]

I wonder how they'll blame this on Capello.

[Pidge]

Clearly, Stuart Pearce's idea of quick passing is a first touch knock straight back to the player that gave it to you putting him under unnecessary pressure.

 

Not exactly Barcelona.

[King Gheedorah]

Playing a defender and a winger in central midfield against Spain is daft as fuck.

[Red House]

England not seeing the ball at all. As a matter of fact, the only sort of attacking intent has come from the full backs, Walker and Bertrand.

 

Note: That Ander Herreira fella has really caught the eye so far. Just for Bilbao apparently though.

[Section_31]

Mate on Facebook slagging off Henderson. The under-21s are seemingly the new pre-season.

[James Dean]

Poor? What game are you watching? His touch is sublime.

 

Poor was the wrong word. I've hardly seen him apart from some neat footwork ending with a pass backwards.

 

That Herrera has been MoM by a country mile.

[Joso]

England - The creators of hoofball.

[Il Fenomeno]

Henderson is good at this pass and move stuff. Shame no one else is on his wavelength.

[James Dean]

Henderson looks classy when he's on the ball. Good with both feet as well.

[russ1979]

whos wearing the yellow boots for england

[The Dude Abides]

I don't think any of these small Spanish lads would be able to cut it in the Premier League.

[Red Phoenix]

Missed the first 20, but surprised to see England actually giving Spain a decent game there towards the end. Never expected that.

[usernameunknown]

Henderson and Walker are the only England players not scared of the ball. Like what ive seen of that lad, pass and move, think he'll fit in well with Kenny's football.
