U21 European Championship

BBC sport.
Phil foden has seen little of the ball......

That would have been the narrative if he had scored the Gascoigne goal against Scotland '96........

Calvert Lewin is miles better than Solanke. Solanke is awful.

Solanke off Abraham on ..

Wank tbh, too many athletes, not enough footballers. Twice we got in clear through, acres of space and we didn't even get a shot on target. Frist Sessegnon can't pick a pass despite having all the time in the world and being 3 on 1, then Gray just blazes into the side netting when clear through. Neither ever looked like they knew what they were doing. Meanwhile Solanke continues to steal a living and Wan Bissaka looks terrified at having to cross the half way line. Choudry is a big strong lad who puts himself about, but he's horrendously slow on the ball, taking 2 seconds each time to decide he's going to pass it slowly 5 yards sideways.

Then again, they've got Aidy Boothroyd in charge so it might be harsh to judge them on this

Father Abraham would be better than Solanke.

Foden and Aouar are class above the rest.

 

[Callum Ramsey]

Foden has the look of a young wilshere about him. Big future ahead for him

 

[citizens_1976]

Aouar is the best player on the park. Looks a quality little player.
Foden has been brilliant and Choudhury has played very well. Get Sessegnon and Gray off for Nelson and Barnes.
Wan Bissaka can't pass wind, never mind a ball.

Solanke has tackled himself more than the French Defenders have tackled an England Player. Hopeless.

Agree completely.

Please. Please go back to your post and read the post directly above it from @MCFC1993

“too many athletes, not enough footballers”
Hmmm, not sure that reads too well. Think it’s a cliche that English players can reach the top of the football pyramid without being able to play, and have genuinely excellent ball skills.
