Wow. What an accusation to make.

Give Josh time. We're always too quick to dismiss. Not all players become stars at the age of 20 or below

what???? dude read the previous page thouroughly. then u ll understand exactly what that comment is. its about 6-7 back and forths between me and leif. anyways just to give u a gist, i like josh and think he would be a great player if given a chance.

No I was talking about what Leif said about Lukaku and the playing victim stuff

mcEachran on at HT for Chalobah in England U21s, instant impact, good pass, and then wins a penalty as his shot hits a hand. Converts resulting penalty. Commentators saying how he is in danger of not getting called up for the tournament in summer, that'll do him a world of good.

McEachran kind of grew out the game after a very good start, began misplacing more passes, stopped taking positions forward, but still a fine showing from him overall.

Yeah the game turned into a contest between the front three to try and beat players and score after the 4th goal. But before that, Josh was doing very well. Excellent passing and movement off the ball.

I really think josh would do better in a more box to box role then the defensive role he has at both boro and U21's.

1st half chalobah completely dominated the midfield and in the 2nd half it was josh who took control and dominated the midfield :D

P.S townsend was very very bad.

I am starting to have a number of doubts about Josh . I think Nat might make it but the more I look at our Academy record the more depressed I get

Same boat as you. I'm actually pretty positive about Nat, but I can't see anyone else breaking through..

There was one moment I didn't like when Josh lost an easy ball and Austria counter-attacked, he put his heads in his hands in frustrated and just stood still, ignored defensive duties, didnt have an incentive to get back. Attack didn't amount to anything dangerous, but Josh should have tracked back espiecally as one of the two midfielders.

It is akin to the penalty moment IMO in the previous international break, he missed and put his head in his hands in frustration, Zaha scored from the rebound but Josh didn't celebrate, still kicking himself for the penalty miss. I doubt it's a self-indulgent thing, more self pity - "I can't believe I just did that!", but needs to snap out of that daze.

I was hoping for Toddy Kane to make the grade, but now we've signed a potentially international-class defender in Azpilicueta, he won't have a chance!

THIS is why I constantly (seem to) 'slate' him (well, the main reason anyway.) Not because I have some personal vendetta against him, not because I'm just some mean guy, but because of this. This one act shows so much of his mentality when it comes to a higher level of football (higher than Chelsea Youth Level) and I just find it shocking.

McEachran says he's, "ready for the Premier League" and also says himself his development has 'stalled' since he made his debut at 17.

Josh is the kind of player who's performance depends on his teammates. I am not at all surprised that his recent drop in form coincides with Boro's poor performances.
