2011 UEFA European Under-21 Tournament

I'm surprised nobody accused Mata of being 28 and faking his birth certificate yet, he's way too good for this level.
Maybe he really is 28 and in the future they build a time machine and he was sent back to play in the Under-21's and change the course of the future :O


Also have to agree would of put cleverly on instead of rose.
 
England's 0-0. But I just realised Martin Kelly's not been included in the squad (bit late, I know Xd)
 
Amazing left-footed volley by Sturridge from around 30m out saved by the bar.
 
Rodwell has been poor, Sturridge has been good from what he has had of the ball.

yeah bin really poor sturidge like u said been good when had the ball n welbck may aswell go get kettle on for half time coz dont think hes had the ball lol
 
None of the midfielders are able to play a decent pass forward.. Plan is just to hoof from defense to striker and hoping something will happen. England need someone in the middle to can link with attack. Hopefully there wont be hoofing in the second half. Such a painful sight to watch when even the kids are taught to play like that..

Cleverley as CM please alongside Rodwell and Henderson with Sturridge playing as RW (Wide forward)..
 
Reminds me of watching Man City except with have no marauding Yaya's in any of our cm's. Cleverly is the only one capable of picking the pass, bring him on.
 
Well... this is... unusual. An England team playing long-ball and boring football? Never!

Still think Rodwell needs to decide what his best position is. Versatility is useful, but when playing too many different positions over a season beings to effect your form, time to have a good think about where you'll be best. For me, Rodwell lacks the clinical edge close to goal, or the finishing/shooting to hold down a box-to-box role which is what he seems to be playing today. Gets forward too often, makes the wrong decisions, constantly losing the ball. Far more likely to get a place in the England Seniors in the long-term as a defensive player. Wilshere, Lampard, Gerrard, Henderson, Lansbury, etc. all standing in his way for the other role.
