didierforever 7,349 Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 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 belowwhat???? 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.

ja1 1,166 Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 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.

CHOULO19 24,332 Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Josh demonstrating what some people seem to have forgotten: His passing is on a completely different level than everyone else in his age. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ja1 1,166 Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But before that, Josh was doing very well. Excellent passing and movement off the ball. Beigl 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mufassir08 2,400 Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 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 P.S townsend was very very bad.

zolayes 14,489 Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ja1 1,166 Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Same boat as you. I'm actually pretty positive about Nat, but I can't see anyone else breaking through..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!

Leif 6,006 Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 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.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. Peace. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not at all surprised that his recent drop in form coincides with Boro's poor performances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushman 2,043 Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Josh seems to blame his progress on constant coach sacking at the Blues.He is unhappy with his treatment at the parent club.Is he good enough to crack into the line-up next year ? I doubt it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
