England under 21s = Pathetic

[Malcolm Everett]

Did anyone watch England in the Euro under 21 championships? I had a bet on them to win the whole tournament before it started, I thought with the future United centre back pairing of Jones and Smalling, the highly rated (but shíte) Jordan Henderson and Jack Rodwell, strikers of Sturridge and Wellbeck and then players like Scott Sinclair, Albrighton, etc, I thought England looked to have a team that would do well.
But in the 3 games they played they were absolutely pathetic. I blame Stuart Pearce a lot for this, he really is a crap manager stealing a living. They were clueless, they didn't know how to attack and try and break the opposition down, there was no movement, there was no creativity, no flair, it really was shocking.
Really, what is Stuart Pearce doing so heavily involved in the England set up? He is absolutely bloody useless and he should be sacked in the morning but we all know that the FA are more likely to offer him a new contract with more perks than sack him.
I hate the England national teams, they are a bunch of overpaid tossers who don't give a monkeys. I bet the players are well happy they can go on their holidays now.

I watched them tonight and against Spain.

clueless spaced the pitch way too much no leaders, no football IQ horrible.

Jordan Henderson was horrific as well.

Henderson had 3 absolute shockers. I saw Sunderland a few times last season and he looked very ordinary in those games too, I really must be missing something as to why he is so highly rated and has played for England and has moved for £20m.

Stuart Pearce is a shíte manager. We had the players to do well but not the tactics.

Continuing to play the same underperformers in the desperate hope that they would come good gave us the result we deserved. Henderson and Cleverley were relentlessly shite as was that left back. Smalling looked a class act.

Smalling looked good first half tonight but second half he was darting around like headless chicken. So was that Jones he runs upfield like a pill head and ends up getting caught.

Muamba wasn't very good so negative, won't take a single step forward and every pass is backwards.

Muamba played just like he does for us.  Clueless on the ball, takes an age to control it then shoves it backwards.

Our most used move was Muamba back to Knight, Knight back to Jussi then hoof. I couldn't care less what kind of midfielder he's supposed to be, defensive or attacking, but to slow the play down as much as he does simply plays into the opposition's hands.

Have you noticed when he plays for us or England he never has anyone marking him? They would let him have the ball all day long.

When did the Under 21s start being so serious? I'm sure a few years ago they were just a youth team that pissed about playing a few friendlies against other countries' kids but this year people seemed as into the championship as they are when the seniors are off somewhere.
