U21 European Championships - June 17th-30th 2015

Looking at the squad, I'm fairly optimistic that we'll do well.

Although Luke Shaw has been pulling out of the U-21's since his Southampton days. Once his senior career got started he didn't have a lot of time for this level and joining last years World Cup squad hasn't helped with that attitude. I wouldn't say he's a key player for this team, as he's hardly played in it. Of course it would be great to have a player of his ability and experience at such a young age, but then you'd also say that it would be great to have the likes of Sterling, Barkley, Chamberlain and even Wilshire and Jones in there. But sadly and wrongly, they just aren't interested.

Also worth noting that this will be trimmed down to 23.

 

[Madejski]

Which is why I don't really have a negative opinion about RLC being included. Almost certainly will be one of the fall guys of the 4. I imagine with Targett, Afobe and Woodrow. Just Southgate looking at a few players he hasn't seen much of.

Grimes? England not looking for technical talent I take it...

 

[Ebeneezer Goode]

He'll be with the U20s at the Toulon Tournament I imagine.

 

[Abertawe]

A boy with such mercurial talents doesn't deserve to be on the B side. Shame on England.

How Cauley Woodrow can even be mentioned in the same breath as Benik Afobe is laughable. Why is this man, who has scored 10 goals in his 5 year career even being called up for an England squad? Don't know who is more useless, him or Southgate for selecting him in the first place.

At 20 I guess Southgate sees lots if potential?
