Very much so. He's been one of our better players in the games he's played at U-21 level and already has 17 senior games for Chelsea.
The problem is that Pearce doesn't accept he's a developmental manager now and his job is to help players develop for the seniors, whilst winning if possible.
He's too result obsessed which means we qualify for tournaments, and generally go far, by playing the worst kind of football, with athletes like Mancienne, Muamba and formerly Cattermole.
He then keeps the same players for the next campaign, if eligible, rather than freshening up. Explains why, under his tenure, guys like Muamba, Rose and Mancienne collect caps like candy and get 2-3 U21 tournaments under their belt, whilst promising talents like Albrighton just ride the bench.
He ignored Wilshere for large parts of the qualification campaign and when he did finally call him up, he played him on the wings or kept him as a sub for Danny Rose because he didn't know how to use him.
Wilshere's chance at U21 tournament was 2 years ago, when his development needed it. Not now when he's surpassed it. He's making the same mistake with McEachran now.
