Basically because he qualifies for the Euros all the time and because players progress to the senior team the FA sees him as a success. The latter point is the big for them. They don't seem to care that we always look less than the sum of our parts and players progress because of their talent rather than because of anything he does. It's a shame that the FA don't take the importance of good coaching as seriously as the German and Spanish federations do.I write it every single England game basically but it’s near impossible to believe that Bothroyd is still manager.
I they’re probably already out if they don’t win this. Portugal and Croatia are better teams than SwitzerlandEngland are going nowhere under Boothroyd. I don't know how many failures they need at this level if I'm honest.
Withdrawn with injuryHas Greenwood not made the U21 squad?
I'm on the schedule to commentate in England V Portugal but I was also down for this one before getting reassigned to Germany tonight. Anyway I'm not looking forward to commentating on England getting dicked.I they’re probably already out if they don’t win this. Portugal and Croatia are better teams than Switzerland
Bet you’re glad, it must be really hard to commentate games like this that are so shit.I'm on the schedule to commentate in England V Portugal but I was also down for this one before getting reassigned to Germany tonight. Anyway I'm not looking forward to commentating on England getting dicked.
Thanks. Seemed weird he wouldn’t be involved.Withdrawn with injury
I did a game last year and it was the most 0-0 game I've ever seen. The key is to stat up so there's something to fill the air.Bet you’re glad, it must be really hard to commentate games like this that are so shit.
Because he fecks someone at The FA.Why is Aidy Boothroyd England U21 manager?
What’s his name?Because he fecks someone at The FA.
There must be a good up and coming coach out there rather than this dinosaur.Because he fecks someone at The FA.
I hear Nicky Butt is availableThere must be a good up and coming coach out there rather than this dinosaur.
Nicky knows how to deal with young players.I hear Nicky Butt is available
I'm convinced he's a wind up now. I remember against France in 2019, England were winning 1-0 and he subbed on Abraham and Calvert-Lewin to make a front 3 with solanke. They lost 2-1. Weirdest subs ever.You have to laugh at that sub and tactical switch from Boothroyd. Starts McNeil as a LWB when he never plays the position. Subs him off for Sessegnon who plays as a LWB but switches to a back 4.
We lost the 2009 final to Germany 4-0 and we got through to the semi finals in 2017 and lost on pens to Germany. We've had countless group stage exits aside from that.When was the last time we did well at one of these tournaments? I'm fairly sure we've gone out in the group stage almost every time for about 10 years.
It's really weird and even weirder that Boothroyd is the manager. This should be these players getting winning tournament experience to eventually ready them for Euros/World Cups with the mens team. And we just get this drivel every time.
Saka and Foden are with the seniors.I can’t believe how poor this is. The level of quality being shown is absolutely shocking.
There’s £100 Million+ of talent in this starting XISaka and Foden are with the seniors.
And Mount and James and Rice and Bellingham and Sancho and Greenwood.Saka and Foden are with the seniors.
They should but it doesn't matter who plays under Bothroyd, the players have zero clue what the game plan is or what they are meant to do. I can't think of any other team at any age level that is held back by a manager as much as England are. England would win by a couple easily with a competent manager.Let’s be honest, Boothroyd or not, the starting XI was very capable of winning this game and have been deservedly beaten.
Apparently out in the group stage four of the last five times. (Will be five in the last six times as they won't go further this time either). England can't be happy with that.When was the last time we did well at one of these tournaments? I'm fairly sure we've gone out in the group stage almost every time for about 10 years.
