Those ahead of him must be ridiculously highly rated then! Massive season for Matty coming up

 

5:00PM in the U21 Euros:

 

Netherlands lead through valente, van Bergen does really well to win the header and van bommel plays a nice ball across.

 

@JimHeron92 hope you're watching this Röhl and Jander masterclass

 

Wouldn't miss it

 

Jander so unlucky with the effort from the edge

England not playing a CF is killing the team

 

It's been good to finally gauge how he weighs yo against some of the premier league talent in show, but not the greatest England midfield if I'm honest.

 

Don't like the balance of the England side at all

I like Ullrich and always been a fan of Wanner - didn't have a great season this year but you can see he's a talent

 

Yeah exactly, feels a bit like a pick your most exciting players but the structure of this Germany midfield is so much better.... Actually it's quite similar to what I'd like to see from us.

 

Ullrich has totally shut down Nwaneri mind, considering he's not really stood out yet in the bundesliga.

 

Baum just totally embarrassed there by Hutchinson

 

Hinshelwood is no Dan Ballard

Gerrin Scott
1-2

 

Did want to see Woltemade against English players but whatever

 

Takeaways from Germany vs England U21 Euros:
GERMANY
- Jander did well on the ball and kept position well but should have tried to get involved more in his first youth cap.
- Röhl's engine and speed are immense but he lacked a killer ball.
- Ullrich actually looks a serious talent when I previously hadn't considered him to be such.
- Can see why Siebert (LCB) has slowly risen up the leagues in Germany, he's rapid and a defense first classic centre back who looked slightly uncomfortable in possession.
- Baum skinned a few times but also very intelligent defending on numerous equations and as the game went on his passing slipped in what was also his first u21 cap.

ENGLAND
- Cresswell wins everything in the air and is a serious threat from set pieces, hope he enjoys Italy.
- I'm still not sold on the Quansah hype and playing with van Dijk has given people an exaggerated opinion of him.
- Norton-Cuffy looks like every movement is uncomfortable but was actually quite effective.
- Hutchinson clearly has ability but can see why he was so easily shut down in the premier league because he looked totally incapable of going on the outside of his man.
- Still like Rowe but he's less effective against a defensive set up (at least when he's a striker).
- Really like Alex Scott. Goal topped off a hard working performance.
