Josh McEachran

[Amblève. 4,995]

Starting alongside Chalobah and Shelvey in a midfield-3 for England's U21's.

I'll be keeping a close on on Josh and Nath in today's game, hoping Josh has a top game, since he's failed to perform in the tournament.

[Gilvorak 3,734]

Hopefully the lads produce this time around.

[English Freak 456]

I always support youngsters but Josh isn't gonna make it at Chelsea

At best, he'll end up as a squad player like Bertrand..making the odd appearance when others are injured.

[Start 22]

Hopefully the lads produce this time around.

Nath has probs been England's best midfielder in this tournament tbh, just the team as a whole has been shite.

Dont worry, our NT is even worse than yours.

[Gilvorak 3,734]

Complete passenger. Afraid to take control of the game.

Shying away from the ball and not demanding it.

Pearce was definitely right in not starting him.doesnt have the proper mentality to play at this level.

He literally played 10 mins before today!

Been good so far. Definitely the best of the 3 central midfielders.

But I have to say, how in the Pearce managed to make this side look so shit?! Completely lacking coherence especially in attack.

[The Mak 4,459]

Like many on here have said, until his mentality changes at least, he'll never make it here.

I still see a little boy out on the pitch, both physically and mentally.

Even if you took Mata as the opposing example. Weak physically, but I think he's really stepped up mentally, especially this season. He's getting more of a winner's mentality and, as nice as he is, I don't think he's afraid to get in someone's face if it came down to it.

(speaking in general, not about u21)

He is playing well. I don't know what game you guys are watching, or whether yo are expecting a Zidane level performance. England are doing really well in the center largely due to Chalobah and Mceachran. This is the lineup Pierce should have gone with in the first two games but he preferred donkey football.

But he's been shit in what he's played...

Yes he didn't set the world alight in the 10 mins he played in.

[ja1 1,166]

I think he's done well so far. Done some decent defensive work, his passing is sharp and accurate.

He's played more than 10 minutes, lol.

Agreed, most play coming from him and Chalbs from the back of midfield.

[Gilvorak 3,734]

He's had a solid game. Hasn't given it away and picked out a couple of quick passes to set up counters but I feel he could do alot more.

Unless you're a monster defensively being neat and tidy won't be enough for a club of our stature.

I feel like he's he's aiming to not step on anyone's toes and minimize as many mistakes as possible. Need to play with more enthusiasm and confidence in such a crucial area of the pitch.

Perhaps I'm being too harsh & demanding here though.

[The Skipper 20,593]

I will say it once more, if they don't get rid of Stuart Pearce this England U21 team will never get anywhere.

[nono 791]

Wickham has such a poor first touch. Every pass to him is like a possession lost.
