2011 UEFA European Under-21 Tournament

Anyone got a top quality stream? My Sky went down literally about 10 minutes ago :'(
 
Almost a carbon copy of that training goal.. great play between Welbeck and Cleverley, came to Sturridge who was offside.
 
much better already from england, simple short pass and move
 
Just got in. Playing well today? And did Pearce put out an actually good team selection this time? :P

Playing well, but still lacking creativity in the middle of the pitch.

4-2-3-1

Fielding
Walker - Smalling - Jones (c) - Bertrand
Muamba - Henderson
Sturridge - Cleverley - Sinclair
Welbeck​
 
tell you what. this england u21 side has a better passing game than the seniors
 
Great team move there, Cleverley should hit the target at least in the end but fantastic movement and passing in the build up. Well over 20 passes in it.
 
That was the first time they've really been able to dominate possession in the Czech half, and not just hoofed it 60 yards from CB to LW.

actually they started well, before drifting off a little, but their keep ball is better
 
Only thing that worries me, is the lack of movement from the attacking lot - which createss a massive gap between the 'double-pivot' and the attacking 4. Sturridge needs to start dropping deep.

Also, why is Welbeck still playing? He's terrible. Never seen a player give the ball away so much.

And, I'd be loving it as a United fan - the 2 centre backs are the 2 best passers on the pitch.
 
And they're standing off whenever Czech Rep. come forward - no pressing game at all. Sitting deep in their own half, so there's a huge amount of space between defence and attack, both in and out of possession. Means we resort to long balls, and forwards don't track back.
 
Lansbury on at HT please. He's been our best midfielder recently. Impressive whenever I've seen him.

This.

I don't understand why we don't press high up the pitch, we've got the players capable of doing it.

& I have to say, if Henderson is gunna play this bad (collectively in the tournament) for Liverpool this season, then Sunderland have done mightily well to get £20 million for him.

yeah not happy with the pressing game, or lack of it.

And henderson needs to wake up or come off
