European U-19 Championship Finals: Villa call-ups

[barrysleftfoot]

Poor passing, poor movement, poor quality of passing.Actually looked a better footballing team when the 2 subs came on late on.Agreed about Nouble, works hard, can bully at this level, but poor with final ball/shot.

  Not sure Blake is the right kind of manager, team seemed to play like he did.The 2 lads who came on at the end were much better footballers than the players they replaced.

  Not looking too good for 10 years time is it?

There's always Joe Cole, footballer extraordinaire. If he had played in the World Cup, we would have won it dontcha know. He really is that good...

Just like their seniors, they'll all develop into a bunch of over-hyped and over-paid average players...

England were awful and it was mainly down to the midfield who were abyssmal.
Fonz should have buried the first chance he had, very unlike him, but that goal that was disallowed was a joke.

The officials all the way through were shocking. I think they found those linos in the same place as the England midfielders.

Still, there are a lot better England players in their age group that werent there. The likes of Wilshere, Rodwell etc.
The Fonz was the only player who could control a ball (when they got it to him). He looked very frustrated to be playing with such tripe.

I got the impression richard, that some of them thought they "had arrived".Did'nt/Don't work hard enough at improving the game.

  I'm a better player than the no 7, and i stopped playing 10 yrs ago.

  The players who come on, show that we have better players, so maybe its just the psyche of the managers/coaches.

  Both Austria and Netherlands played a better quality of football.

[JJ-AV]

From Italy v Spain earlier.

Anyone who follows Spanish football have any information on him? Eziqual Calevente I believe his name is.

[cdbearsfan]

That's the best penalty I've ever seen!

[Karl Bridges]
