Sam Byrne helped Ireland under 19s come back from 2-0 down to get a 2-2 draw against Germany, he scored in the second half after coming on at half time. Ben Pearson is out of the England under 18s game with an injury and has been replaced by James Weir.

Just out of curiosity - how many English players in the reserves and U-18 level are currently not in (or at least has been recently) an English national side ?

Grimshaw, Amos, Johnstone, Powell, Wilson, Coddington, Rashford, Barmby, Cameron B-J(potentially bad abbreviation there), Henderson, Thorpe, Pearson, W.Keane (before the injury, M.Keane, Blackett, Weir, Rothwell....all of those have been involved

Wootton has not been playing for England for several years...I don't think Jack Rudge has played for England - Louis Rowley ? How about Lingard ?

at that age, likely the physicality playing into it (he's quite large). does play well on top of that, however.

Andreas Pereira played for Belgium under 17s twice in the past few days. He got an assist in a 2-0 win against Lithuania and hit the post and crossbar in a 5-0 win against Latvia

Liam Grimshaw played the full 90 minutes and James Weir came on after 60, did well and got an assist in a 2-0 victory for England U18s Vs Italy.

Powell and Johnstone both in U21 squads. Deserved for them. Amos too.

I think Johnstone is a quality young keeper.

His problem is going to be getting enough exposure. Will need some loan spells to make it at the top.

Powell starts for England u21s. Kick off 7:30pm. Live on ESPN.

Amos also starts in goal. Johnstone on bench.

Powell is looking a class above anyone else on the pitch. At times a couple of levels above.
Ince and McCechran look ace too.

Not sure a friendly against N. Iron is the best test though :(

Something I like about Powell is he never looks rushed in possession, even when under pressure from several players. That has to be a good sign.

Gotta say, McCechran is class. Needs to move on from Chelsea to kick start his career.

This Will Hughes kid is supposed to be hugely rated isn't he? Only 17.

17 might be young for an u21 debutant, but it's very, very old for a q-tip.

Powell showed just glimpses of his ability yet still stood out.

Hughes impressed me when he came on, looks a tidy little player.

Watch it, I'm a fellow Q-tip. Although funnily enough I've never heard that nickname/insult before.

Hope, We Lose
Agree that Powell did well and also to keep an eye on young Will Hughes. Looked mostly a tidy passer but also put in a few nice slidetackles, not afraid to get dirty.
