I didn't think you was having a pop.... Couldn't understand putting him out left? But yes the other two are much worseand this isn't Englands best team. Be nice to score here.
Although they are weaker sides, it will still be a test of character to come back from losing your first game to qualify, especially when one of the games is against the hosts.

good experience.
The thing in their favour is they beat Norway twice in the qualifiers.
Wasnt pleasant to watch, Italy dominated from start to finish and deserved to win. Was a strange England starting 11, might of been in with a chance of at least a point if we had a full strength team out.
Think England will struggle with 2 must win games coming up, and based on tonights performance I dont think we will make the semis.

I didn't get why Zaha was fit enough to warm up, be on the bench and not fit enough to play. Got Ince to come in the side too.
I only listened on 5live but they said the Italians had a back 4 made up of Intern Milan players and the goal scorer was from Napoli so it would be no surprised that there was a gulf in class.

Would have thought we'd have added Zaha as well. He might have a full cap now but would've been a good tounament experience for him, especially if he might feature in the euro squad next summer........
Zaha is in the squad
My bad. Looked at the midfield, as I assumed he'd be listed there, rather than as a forward.................

Credit Stuart Pearce, who came out and said England were awful and deserved nothing. Nice to see his good old honest, straightforward character is unchanged by the FA culture.
Propper weird when you are scrolling through a thread and there's a weird random argument between two people that makes absolutely no sense. More entertaining than the match itself though.
Here are some of the players we had eligible for last night but aren't there for one reason or another:
Wilshere Oxlade-Chamberlain Phil Jones Rodwell Welbeck Luke Shaw Kyle Walker Martin Kelly Andros Townsend McManaman Raheem Sterling Nick Powell Ross Barkley Not to mention that Zaha, Ince and Danny Rose didn't play either.
Not quite the death of our game yet and we should still win the other 2 matches.
Proving my point from the other day that we should select our best available players for this tournament, the Dutch team tonight features 10 players who have all been capped at senior level.
Comments
Wasn't trying to have a pop, just passing comment. I wouldn't have subbed him, or even moved him out wide in the first place.
Heard it was first goal U21s conceded since 2011? Impressive record. Should be good to make the next round up against Israel and Norway...
good experience.

We could field a far better XI from players who aren't even there.
Shall we just quit international football?
I'm sure we're going backwards.

actually enjoyed last nights game apart from the sky commentator spending 90mins eulogising about the Italians.
