But he has, Pearce has played him this season and every man and his dog knows what Josh brings to the side. My opinion was if he couldnt get Wilshere then he needed Josh.
no, He needed Clev and Wickham in the side tonight,

Surely it shouldnt matter, if he is good enough for the side then he deserves to be in it. Fabrice Muamba hardly plays for Bolton but he is in the side? Ryan Bertrand has played one game in the last 6months at club level!!

Ah but that doesn't always work out badly, if you can get Wickham as a Nat Lofthouse type of player and Welbeck/Sturridge like Jimmy Greaves we could be onto something!
I'm being far too optimistic, aren't him?

Oh come now. Jones has plenty of pace, Lansbury was arguably our best player and Welb- yeah, Welbeck was ****.
Actually agree. We needed some kind of vision and technique in the middle of the park, and McEachran would be perfect. He's looked at home at U21 level, and he provides the passing and creativity we've been lacking in the centre of the park. Comfortable playing deep in a double pivot by the looks of things too.
Stopped watching after an hour, but Lansbury almost made an immediate impact. Looked quality against Norway, and had a fruitful loan at Norwich. His directness and running from deep is exactly what this side needs - he has more vision and technical ability than fecking Rodwell.
TBH - I'd drop Rodwell, then:
Fielding
Kelly - Smalling - Jones - Bertrand
Muamba - Lansbury/Cleverley
Albrighton - Sturridge/Lansbury - Sinclair
Welbeck/Sturridge
Lansbury's comfortable in the more advanced position, and Sturridge could play as a lone striker and drop back/drift in a fairly free role. (Usually) Fairly clinical, proved himself at Bolton and isn't coming into the tournament on the back of a 2 month injury-leave. That allows for Cleverley's range of passing in a deeper position, whilst also offering an attacking threat (Lansbury has a tendency to play too many holly-wood balls, something that could be cut out if he's pushed further up the pitch) and have Muamba to actually sit in front of the back 4 and do his job. Something Rodwell plainly can't do.
I don't actually know who plays at RB... Mancienne if Kelly's injured or whatnot.
But he's had next to no competitive football. Needs a loan IMO --> He's small and pretty skinny. I fear he'd just be out-muscled by players who, in some cases, are 3+ years older than him. Big gap between 21 and 18 in football. You're physically stronger, more experienced. Maybe he should have given him a place in the squad, but I think he'd be right to leave out of the team.
What we really need is for England to sharpen the **** up, and not play long-ball every game.
well qualifying with a game to spare is just no funso England have to win otherwise they won't progress. Nothing new there then....

Have you not seen him play??? He glides past players, he dosent give them the chance to out muscle him because he is too quick.
You still need to be strong at this level. He's a good player, with a great future but he's too young IMO. Wilshere improved his physical strength - yes, he likes to dribble past players and use his low centre of gravity, but he can also hold players off. I've not seen that in McEachran at a competitive level. I'm not talking 10 sub appearances with Chelsea 7-0 up, or Reserve level football - the PL and International Football; even U21 level, is different.

How many times have you seen him play again? Every time I've watched him, he's found ways of circumventing his apparently dimished physical strength. He's strong in the style of Arshavin or Messi, he just seems to bounce off people. Perhaps he needs to improve his strength a little more, but honestly I think we shouldn't be worrying about that. We have physical strength in spades. What we don't have is finesse and vision in the centre of the park, which is what he would supply.
