S-Clarke Posted 20 May, 2015 Share Posted 20 May, 2015 As above really, but this is the full squad - Goalkeepers Marcus Bettinelli (Fulham), Jonathan Bond (Watford), Jack Butland (Stoke City) Defenders Calum Chambers (Arsenal), Eric Dier (Tottenham Hotspur), Luke Garbutt (Everton), Ben Gibson (Middlesbrough), Carl Jenkinson (Arsenal, on loan at West Ham United), Michael Keane (Burnley), Liam Moore (Leicester City), John Stones (Everton), Matt Targett (Southampton) Midfielders Tom Carroll (Tottenham Hotspur, on loan at Swansea City), Nathaniel Chalobah (Chelsea), Will Hughes (Derby County), Jake Forster-Caskey (Brighton & Hove Albion), Jesse Lingard (Manchester United), Ruben Loftus-Cheek (Chelsea), Alex Pritchard (Tottenham Hotspur), Nathan Redmond (Norwich City), James Ward-Prowse (Southampton) Forwards Benik Afobe (Wolverhampton Wanderers), Patrick Bamford (Chelsea, on loan at Middlesbrough), Saido Berahino (West Bromwich Albion), Harry Kane (Tottenham Hotspur), Danny Ings (Burnley), Cauley Woodrow (Fulham) Not a bad squad all being told - but would have liked to see Barkley included, don't see why he couldn't have been. Luke Shaw wasn't selected because of on-going concerns over his fitness, even though he wanted to go. Oh well, what a season he's had.

Smirking_Saint Posted 20 May, 2015 Share Posted 20 May, 2015 Yeah, for that level the front players are incredibly impressive. Should be plenty of goals in that lot. That midfield is reasonably impressive aswell, considering it could have included sterling, barkley and ox. Still unsure where the senior cb replacements are going to come from. Stones is ok, dier looks a bit dodgy whenever I see him CB. Im comfortable with Chambers but think he needs to play more. None of which look to be a replacement for Terry or even cahill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Bateman Posted 20 May, 2015 Share Posted 20 May, 2015 Bloody hell, that's a serious U21 squad, fair play!!

Will be really interesting to watch their progress - I can see a core of these players forming a decent England team in the next few years, promising! Yes but inevitably that team will be poorly managed and have no playing identity whatsoever. Fair play to Targett - quick rise through the ranks for him. The coaches must rate him. Can't believe Jenkinson is still U21, he seems to have been around for ages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew Le God Posted 2 June, 2015 Share Posted 2 June, 2015 (edited) Targett and Ward-Prowse are both in the 23 man squad, with Dier, Bamford, Woodrow and Afobe the ones to miss out from the original 27 man squad.

verlaine1979 Posted 17 June, 2015 Share Posted 17 June, 2015 I wonder if one of the things that has held back JWP's development (and, if I'm being charitable blunted the contribution of Davis as well) is our conservative, keep-the-ball-at-all-costs tactical approach. Young players like Grealish tend to get attention by doing extravagant things - 40 yard passes with the outside of the boot etc - which carry a much higher risk of losing possession. I have no idea which of those two (or Barkley etc) will turn out better, but between JWP's temperament and our tactics, it's no surprise that some of these other players catch the eye more, even if their teams are less successful as a unit.

Turkish Posted 18 June, 2015 Share Posted 18 June, 2015 I thought England looked better while JWP was on the pitch. Small plus point. Decent Portugal team. Agreed. I thought we looked relatively comfortable with him on the pitch. Was neat and tidy, used the ball well and always available for a pass, went close with the free kick. As soon as he went off Portugal took control, Carroll who was the worst player on the pitch IMO stayed on and JWP came off, strange decision and could well have cost England the game.

Chalkboy Posted 18 June, 2015 Share Posted 18 June, 2015 I thought England looked better while JWP was on the pitch. Small plus point. Decent Portugal team. I agree, Tom Carroll wasn't in the game, thought it was a strange decision leaving him on whilst taking off JWP. Our midfield in the second half seemed non-existant.
