European u21 Championships

[LDN Blue 7,903]

Spain 2-0 up on the Czech's at the moment.

If Spain walk away with all 3 points, England have to do the same, or their chances will be very slim of progression.

Would like to see this eriksen guy in for us. Would give kakuta a run for his money imo.

we already have Gael ,,,would sooner seehim start and save the money

[LDN Blue 7,903]

Fielding

Walker - Smalling - Jones - Bertrand

Mancinne

Henderson - Rodwell

Welbeck - Sturridge - Rose

Glad to see Rodwell. But Rodwell & Mancinne? Looks too defensive, but may pay off..

[termninja 5,290]

Decent stream.

[5354 204]

why play mancienne... DM not his favourite position...

[5354 204]

Amazing that Mancienne has the nod over Muamba where he has constantly play in the top flight...

[LDN Blue 7,903]

Sturridge seems to be playing a support-striker role tonight for Welbeck.

I like that, it's working well, instead of him playing with his back to goal he can dribble around and find space. That could be crucial in using him & Torres together next season..

[termninja 5,290]

No offense, but I got bored with the match, especially with England...

[Ollie 4,400]

This long ball football is fucking horrible. Danny's shot was brilliant and so unlucky not to have gone in but we don't deserve to be winning. The last 5 minutes has been better but these long balls have to stop, it's crap.

H/T 0-0 Crap.

Looks like Capello's been influencing Stuart..

This side's good enough to play their way through the Ukraine team. Such a shame. Muamba or Cleverly should come on for Mancienne and Rodwell should be put in DM so the sub can play some quality passes.

[Ollie 4,400]

Albrighton should replace Mancienne, Rodwell then hold and i think Delfouneso should come on for Rose. Rose has not played all season except the last 3 or 4 games and yids used him at LB. Delfouneso and Albrighton have experience and are good players, especially Albrighton whom i rate very highly i admit. This team misses McEachran and Wilshere in truth.

[LDN Blue 7,903]

True. Albrighton would give us some natural width in this 4-3-3. Rose was good in the game before this u21 tournament, so you're right about using Delfounso too, but I still think one of Cleverly or Muamba should be brought on to inspire some actual ball play in the midfield. Henderson's trying but even he's too busy trying to keep it organised.

Surprised there's been no subs yet.. :\

[Ollie 4,400]

I've not even seen Henderson in this game, the game's just passing him by. Whatever Pearce decides to do, change must happen in 10 mins at the earliest because this really aint good. These Ukrainians are diving cunts too i might add.

We've upped the tempo a bit now anyway, COME ON!

Sinclair was a good choice but I'm still not convinced about Lansbury. Haven't seen much of him to be fair though..

We're getting closer, Sinclair's made an instant impact

[Ollie 4,400]

All those players and he brings on Sinclair and Lansbury. I don't know Lansbury but there are more proven players there than him. The last 15 minutes have been much better but we need to score soon because the time aint on our side.

[LDN Blue 7,903]

If we don't pick up 3 points, we're really going to struggle to progress.

As it stands

Spain 4pts

Czech Republic 3pts

England 2pt

Ukraine 1pts

Only 1 game left, against Czech Republic..

[Ollie 4,400]

Well we'll have to win against the Czechs to qualify, pretty much how we do everything = the hard bloody way.

Must admit, i'm impressed with Lansbury, looks really good since he came on.

[zolayes 14,489]

no one played better than Sturridge ....Cant understand criticisms of Mancienne ...thought he was fine
