The English Football Thread

There are changes that have recently gone on behind the scenes at England at youth levels , that I think will play dividends in ten years.

We will never change the way the England senior team plays it football unless things are changed at under 7,8,9 etc in ALL the academies and school of excellences, not just category 1 clubs.

I watch it week in week out, and there are more clubs that play long ball stuff than on the ground. These clubs should have funding stopped or some other sort of financial punishment dished out, otherwise they will never change.

Definitely agree with that. Smaller pitches, focus on technical skills, less emphasis on short-term results.

It's what happened in the FA Youth Cup match with Norwich. They set up purely to defend and hit us on the counter, but that bears no relation to what they'll be asked to do if they reach the first-team. Our team actually focused on playing football that translates to the first-team better - results versus development.

Not that I'm bitter about the result or anything. :ph34r:

@tancredipalmeri Wenger met Van Persie agent on 28 january. Both Wenger and Van Persie wants to join back. Mufc open to that
