European Under 21 Championship

[Ebeneezer Goode]

We need to win this game to maintain a realistic chance of progressing, right?

We need to win to keep it in our hands. Still a couple of ways we could go through with a draw.

WHAT A GOAL!!!

 

[Stevencc]

Lingard you beauty!!!

 

[DarkSithLord]

YES Get in there JESSE!

 

[Jockney]

was just going to say how i thought lingard was pretty limited...

 

[TomPNE94]

Keeper should save it but still a fantastic strike.

 

[voltage]

England opened the score against Sweden. It was a very nice kick from Lingard.

 

[Stevencc]

Waheyyy.

 

[Luke_1884]

Kane's been about as much use as a chocolate fireplace today. The service into him has been poor but he's had a bad un.

 

[Leewilson]

Bloody phew. Bang average performance but we live to fight another day and hopefully Southgate learns from this. I'm fed up of trying to 2nd guess what he should do because Pritchard should be in the number 10 role where he excels. But assuming he just isn't going to do this, I will say that Loftus-Cheek and Ings deserve a start next game whilst Carroll should be nowhere near this bloody team. Hopefully Stones is fit as well to step in for Moore.

Also, Dier should be in this squad. A technically good defender and would have been a better option than Moore for me.

 

[Bilo]

Oh well, thought England deserved the win. Group wide open if Italy beat Portugal.

So what result do we want in POR v ITA?

The current draw probably suits us best.

 

[Super_horns]

The draw as is it would be good.

Ings should start, based on what? How about playing the highest scoring striker in English football this season. #PlayAfobe

Ings did pretty well today when he came on. Was a real presence up front and worked their defenders pretty hard. Nothing against Afobe but I don't think he's going to offer any more than Kane is at present if we're not going to work the ball quickly enough through the midfield.

Pritchard is out injured for the rest of the tournament. How lucky can Southgate be?

 

[markwwfc1992]

On the bright side we to watch another 90 minutes of Tom Carroll. I can barely contain my excitement...

 

[Ebeneezer Goode]

Stones is back at least.

 

[Super_horns]

Germans held meaning the Danes come top of the group...

 

[mente captus]

re-united Germany for the first time qualified for the olympic games

 

[smat]

Who's watching LADS?

Berardi's the dangerman, right?

Nah, this man is...

 

[smat]

One season wonder.

 

[Stevencc]

Take that club bias shit out of here RIGHT NOW.

 

[DarkSithLord]

Me. Looking forward to tonight's game. Think it will be a draw and the group will go to the wire?

The ineffective Carroll replaced by magnolia personified Forster Caskey.

But I can deal with that a lot more knowing Redmond, Lingard, Ings and Kane are on the pitch. It irritates me when we have 3 in the middle doing essentially the same job.

 

[Stevencc]

Golden chance for Ings there. Fucked it right up.

Beauty of a pass through to him from Kane.

Yeah it's a lot better but I would have prefered to have seen the impressive Loftus-Cheek or even Ward-Prowse in the team.
