    I really never expected us to beat this German side, so amazing to see. The defending and playing the clock down at the end was played superbly.

    wishful thinking i'm afraid unless we have the balls to appoint someone who while wanting to win wants to actually play attractive football as much as possible

    I thought Carsley seemed very confident of his team and justifiably so.

    I think the problem with the full England team is by the time the players are in their mid twenties they are coached to play a certain way for their clubs and and their is no consistency in tactics throughout the top two tiers

    to some extent that applies even at this level but possibly not so ingrained plus at this level the manager has a bit more leeway to pick the team /squad he wants without much media scrutiny

    At least half a dozen if not a couple more should be promoted to the full squad to replace the over the hill players just making up the numbers

    We rely too much on the past, but that past never won **** all either, so yeah I agree with you, to achieve you have to be brave to make unpopular decisions and give the kids a chance. Something Fosse has banged on about a few times, to which I do agree, just don't tell him I said this lol

    How come the under 21's have a load of 22 year olds playing for them?
    Elliot
    Quanah
    Cresswell
    Livramento
    Anderson
    McAtee
    Stansfield
    Morton
    Rowe
    Egan-Riley
    And most of the rest are 21 not under...

    Players have to be born from 2002. Presumably so those who can play in qualifying can play in the tournament.
