I watched the England U21s last night as they were live on YouTube and kicked off 30 mins before the seniors. Made the right choice I think too. Sess and Skipp started. We won 2-1 with goals from Nketiah and Godfrey. Game was really tasty as well, Austria ended up with about 5 or 6 yellows.

When I read Southgate's line up it was reminiscent of Poch’s against Colchester, 3 CBs and 2 DMs. Painful.

Good decision by Sessegnon to absolutely leather the ball off the keeper's head, so that he was concussed for the second goal from the following corner. <ok>

<laugh> I more or less said that on the Prem board yesterday:
Watching the U21s, second half just started. 1-0 up through Nketiah.

Sessegnon just nearly knocked the Austrian keeper out as the guy blocked Sess’ shot with his face.

Kane, Winks and Dier all in the England squad.
I was wondering why there seemed to be so many options in so many positions, but then I noticed that it's 30 players! <laugh>
Let's hope that Southgate rotates and rest people appropriately.

Southgate being a bit snippy about Mourinho from about the four minute mark.
Poor form, even if he's trying to play it off as a joke.
Edit: Comes up again later in the clip, too. He's a lot more respectful and reasonable then.

Good news about Tanguy and Sissoko, albeit Sissoko looks to be taking a back seat anyway so his call up wouldn’t have made much difference.

Hopefully Calvin-Lewindowski and Ingsiesta start most of these internationals whilst Harry watches from the bench.
