And they have won the Val-de-Marne Tournament :).....4-1 win against Japan.

You mean last year in the U15 group?

Because the results as U16 are
Croatia 2-0
Croatia 0-0
Scotland 1-0
Turkey 2-1
France 3-1
Austria 4-2
Japan 4-1
I was basing it from the last years 15s yes. They have done well to win that tournament. Be interesting to see if we can keep Dembele and Barry.

3-1 win for England (with ten men for 35 minutes)....Greenwood, Elliott and Mighten were goalscorers.

Livramento, Sarmiento, Mengi and Okoflex aren't in the squad.

Also no Joe Hodge because he has chosen to play this time for Ireland.

Another quality prospect from the u17 world Cup winning squad who along with Foden, Sancho, Hudson-Odoi, Panzo and Brewster will make England very competitive in future tournaments.

Nearly scored a stunner in the 95th minute to give Wolves the win at the weekend.

The U17s winning streak came to a disappointing end with draws against Germany and the Czech Republic in the mini tournament. Germany won the tournament of GD by beating Ireland by one more goal than England did.

Lloyd Kelly (Bristol City) has made the step up from U20 to U21 this week. He's a player I've tracked a lot and he really has so much promise. I'm interested to see how he does.

Would love nothing more than to see him signed as a young backup to Shaw, similar to the Dalot signing. I genuinely think he has enough potential. I think he'll end up at someone like Everton/Watford next season.

Ashby-Hammond saw the red card after just three minutes.....England still were 2-0 up after 18 minutes......a shame the result was a draw in the end.

Next match is against Belgium on Saturday.

Great game between Italy and England 21s. England took the win but it could have gone either way with both teams having lots of chances. United’s Dean Henderson was fantastic in goal. Lewis Cook was excellent too. I thought England played the better technical football especially round the box. Kean looked awesome for Italy, so powerful and with some quality too.

You are writing match reports?

Anyway the subs of the U18 match in my post were wrong.....updated.

I think they can/should play much better football but that isn't possible with Boothroyd (He's like Löw).

Just two CB's in the squad (Fry and Konsa have withdrawn) was a terrible decision too......Tuanzebe or at least Chalobah (Holgate must leave Everton in January) should be in the squad.

Henderson has improved so much that is really amazing :drool:......just a shame Gunn has made the wrong decision with the Southampton move and Woodman can't leave Newcastle.

Boothroyd is a poor coach no question. I do think they've looked better with Foden and Nelson in the team though, more fluid and technical in attacking areas. I think they did well overall against Italy. They went away from home and won, you can't have it all your own way in those conditions. That said, a controlling midfielder like Garner would improve the side. Cook and Davies are at a good level but don't control the game so it can be a bit up and down.

I don't write reports, I just picked up a Dutch one that was from when England were 2-0 up, my fault for not translating it!

Well of course a 2-1 away win in Italy is fantastic and it was a good performance.....but like i've said i still think the team could play so much better with the right coaching.

Yep a loan move for Garner next season is very important.

U19s lose to Turkey away so will be second seeds in elite qualifying. Strange thing was that Gibbs-White, Hudson Odoi and Smith-Rowe all started on the bench against a good Turkey side. Perhaps the manager has a thing about double barrel names.

Pot 3 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019_UEFA_European_Under-19_Championship_qualification#Draw_2)

To rest many of the best players against the best opponent was just :houllier:

But good news that Sancho, Nelson, R.Sessegnon or Foden are still available for the age group ;)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A better result for the U21's with a 5-1 win in Denmark.......2x Solanke, 2x Calvert-Lewin and Gray were the goalscoreres.

Tuanzebe's U21 career is definitely over.....Konsa was still injured a few days ago :lol:

My wit's end
I was just thinking about Guardiola's influence on the national teams of the countries in which he manages.

Barcelona from 2008 to 2012. Spain win a World Cup and 2 Euros. They played Pep-ball.

Bayern from 2013 to 2016. Germany win a World Cup. Again, they played Pep-ball.

City from 2016 to present. England have their best tournament in decades and our style of play has improved hugely on what came before. Not quite playing Pep-ball, but getting there.

If Pep's coaching methods can continue to have an influence on his squad (and by extension City's England players), I think there's potential to build on what happened in Russia.

The talent is already coming through in droves. The philosophy is now being ingrained as well. Whether it's enough to bridge the gap to the big 4 (Brazil, Germany, Spain and France) remains to be seen. There are reasons to be hopeful, though.

We (Germany) weren't playing "Pep-ball" in 2014 (ball possession vs France and Brazil was nearly equal). The worst mistake Löw made in the WC was to use Lahm as CM like Guardiola and we improved as soon as that was fixed. What happened in 2016 and 2018 is seen as one of the big faults in our development in recent years. We abonded the good mix we had and became an uninspired LvG like possession team.
I hate that the WC win always gets brought up with Guardiola. The german NT was on its way up long before Guardiola and Heynckes(!) team and brand of football shaped the core of that team as well as it's style of football (Löw's more balanced approach in that time frame certainly resembled Heynckes' teams more than Guardiolas Bayern).
It's a different thing for Spain, no arguments from me there but for German NT football overall he had at best a neutral impact.

So wasn't sure exactly where to post this but thought this would be one of two relevant threads.

http://thechels.net/2018/12/how-does-a-hudson-odoi-become-an-mbappe/

Now, a disclaimer. This post is genuinely not meant as a targeted criticism at Chelsea (though they seem worse than most), it is an affliction of the English clubs in general.

But with the news that Pulisic is coming, though potentially to replace Hazard/Willian, and that Bayern are looking to sign CHO, we may be seeing the loss of another of our top talents abroad because they don't see a realistic route through to the first team.

The thing about the loans also rings very true. Now, some of the things going wrong are down to him for sure but Josh Onomah is a case in point. Making appearances here and there at Spurs and then being farmed out on loan in the championship where a) the style of play doesn't suit him b) he isn't being played in his position more often than not and c) he's somehow had the misfortune to end up under the dinosaur Bruce 2 seasons running. I feel for him.

I feel we need to change our attitude to youth players in general in this league.

Also, unrelated to the above but have to say thanks to @Sean_RedDevil and @Classical Mechanic for the work they do in this thread and others. Very informative about England's youth teams and I look forward to many of these players breaking through.

There are a few players from The Championship deserving of being on that list, namely Jared Bowen and Harvey Barnes in the wide attacking right and left positions respectively. Lloyd Kelly at left back. At right back you could add Aarons, Bogle and James. There also Smith-Rowe and Saka at Arsenal that are getting minutes this season too. It's worth including Abraham too as he's supposed to be joining Wolves this January after scoring nearly a goal and game for Villa this season. There will be more that I can't think of at the moment too.

Bowen, Aarons and Kelly are linked with Spurs in this window. Kelly also linked with Liverpool and United.

:)
BEST AVAILABLE SQUAD (*if all players would be fit)
Starting XI: Gunn - Alexander-Arnold, Gomez, Clarke-Salter, Chillwell - Winks; Maddison, Alli - Sancho, Rashford, Sessegnon

Bench: Henderson, Woodman, Wan-Bissaka, Tomori, Kelly, Cook*, Loftus-Cheek, Mount, Gray, Nelson, Calvert-Lewin & Abraham

If Rice decides to play for England then he's surely in the squad.

Other options: Walkers-Peters, Kenny, Tomori, Holgate, Fry, Tuanzebe, Maitland-Niles, Davies, Choudhury, Foden, Gibbs-White, Barnes, Bowen, Hudson-Odoi, Lookman, Solanke

But the realistic Euros U21 squad is 100% without Alli & Rashford........Gomez, Chillwell & Sancho are unlikely too.......but Loftus-Cheek, Alexander-Arnold, Maddison & Winks are likely in the squad.

But England's best ever Euros U21 squad will be in 2021 :drool:
