2011 UEFA European Under-21 Tournament

As I said, Rose is poor. In the team for a lucky volley 2 years ago. He's shockingly bad..
 
Ayyyy, a dive. Woo, roll around and clutch your leg when he hasn't touched you, yay...
 
Why does Wankienne start ahead of Rodwell?!
 
Danny Rose out Landbury in. Good news for England.

Mancienne out, Rodwell in. Even better.
 
Mancienne and Rose off - Rodwell and Lansbury on.. strange subs.
 
Would have brought on Sinclair rather than Lansbury, but the Rodwell sub was awesome. Mancienne is awful.
 
Henderson captain now! Pretty impressed with him, silently going about his job well. Some good bursts forward in the first half.

His long range passing has been shocking, keeps trying to play these 70 yard cross field ball to marked players, or imaginary players that aren't anywhere near where he puts the ball.

Apart from that hes been good.
 
Danny Rose is really unimpressive. Living off the volley?
 
Sturridge is so agile...

Off topic but I really hope Chelsea gets the best out of him, would be a shame if he went to waste.
 
Bojan coming on for spain. I think Albrighton should have started to be honest. Wonder if Welbeck/Sturridge is going to come off. Haven't been too impressed with either of them.

Unfortunately, I think that's not what we wanted. Think Pearce played a 4-2-3-1 to track the threat of both Ander and Thiago, but as Mancienne was **** and Henderson too attack-minded it didn't work. Not necessarily Henderson's fault of course, he's just naturally more attacking and a bit out of position.

Sinclair on.

Danny Rose is really unimpressive. Living off the volley?

Think so too.

"18 - 18 of Mancienne's 25 passes were played to his defenders or goalkeeper. Unambitious."

Ha.
