Makes sense. Was a bit concerned with a worrying trend for the senior team and the 21s in terms of the midfield. Most of the other areas seem to have evolved or modernised, whereas the midfields have a lot of old-school profile of players. Mount is one of those you want inducted from now. Lewis Cook is another who could have been capped by now.Yep. He has missed the last few weeks for Derby.

No Maitland-Niles is a joke....he should be in the squad and not Walker-Peters.A strong and young u21 squad for Poland and Germany - Hudson Odoi in.
The goalkeeper position is strong, as is the defence. Centre midfield is weakish but a three of Choudhury, Davies and Foden/Maddison is good enough at this level.
The wide forward positions are pretty stacked to say the least: Gray, Hudson Odoi, Lookman, Nelson, Sessegnon and Barnes!
Striker positions are decent enough.
I'd probably say that Gibbs-White isGomes is a massive stand out in that u19 squad. Needs to stamp his authority on those games.
Interested to see how Vieira gets on with the 20s as well.

This team should be our starting XI in ArmeniaIts a strong squad in fairness. Aarons is Norwich's first choice right back and they are top of the Championship. Lamptey is a fantastic right back too. Panzo and Guehi are top prospects at centre back. Saka has appeared for Arsenal seniors this season and impressed. Gomes and Gibbs-White we know about. Nmecha is a really talented player and Appiah, Mceachran, Sessegnon and Eyoma have all stood out at youth international level.
Lukas is in the german U21 squad.Felix Nmecha with England again which suggests he's leaning this way now. He's one of the better dual nationals to play for two England and another country recently.
Permanent switch too I think. Seems unlikely we’ll keep Felix long term in light of that. I think Felix would be a loss. Lukas less so.Lukas is in the german U21 squad.
Yep right now Lukas is no big deal......Felix could be a loss but that would have pissed me off 5 years ago (We have currently so much quality in all age groups so ).Permanent switch too I think. Seems unlikely we’ll keep Felix long term in light of that. I think Felix would be a loss. Lukas less so.

Saka was man of the match. I think he's the only one from the lasts years Euro u17s squad to be promoted past the u18s. He's already impressed for Arsenal seniors in the EL this year so he could be in for a fast progression.
Starting XISeems the u18s beat Japan 4-1. Not seen any official details.
The coaches aren't good enough.Disappointing from the u20s but the squad isn't great in fairness. It kind of looks like a lot of England youth squads used to, a smattering of talents but mostly uninspiring.
Yes Bogle should be in the U19 squad imo.Surprised Jayden Bogle has been ignored at Derby County. He's played against some really good sides in the Cups this season and looked very good. First teamer all season for Derby and not even a look in. Also a bit shocked Ellis Simms isn't in the England setup, he's bossed it for Evertons youth team.
Anyway, assessing the squads, i'd say the below players are the ones I know about in particular and look pretty decent. Some of the others I know about and don't look all that good, the majority I haven't really heard much about.
Reece James (Wigan Athletic, loan from Chelsea)
Dwight McNeil (Burnley)
Max Aarons (Norwich City)
Jonathan Panzo (AS Monaco)
Lewis Gibson (Everton)
Bukayo Saka (Arsenal)
Morgan Gibbs-White (Wolverhampton Wanderers)
Angel Gomes (Manchester United)
Felix Nmecha (Manchester City)
George McEachran (Chelsea)
Rekeem Harper (West Bromwich Albion)
Ethan Laird (Manchester United)
James Garner (Manchester United)
Can I watch the game somewhere?The U17's are playing their first Euro qualification game (They have had a bye in the first qualification round) against Switzerland in Silkeborg.
They are 2-0 up after 34 minutes.....Rogers (He has already played for West Bromwich's first-team) and Greenwood with the goals....very easy game so far the Young Lions.
Croatia have won 3-2 against Denmark in the other game.
Starting XI
Moulden - Livramento, Wood-Gordon, Harwood-Bellis, Roberts - Azeez, Weir, Madueke - Elliot, Greenwood, Rogers
Bench
Trafford, Mengi, Bondswell, Musah, Bate, Peart-Harris, Knight, Mighten & Gelhardt
DMCan I watch the game somewhere?

Mason would have been in the U18 squad.
Should be the last chance for Lookman.Tweet

I think Chowdhury would have been better. A pure DM. No AWB, is he injured?Should be the last chance for Lookman.
Davies instead of Dowell would be better too for Maddison and Foden.
I would have played Davies against Poland and Chowdhury against Germany because they have much more quality in midfield with Dahoud, Amiri, Maier & Neuhaus (I have watched their friendly against France).I think Chowdhury would have been better. A pure DM. No AWB, is he injured?
Hope they have been called up to the first team.I would have played Davies against Poland and Chowdhury against Germany because they have much more quality in midfield with Dahoud, Amiri, Maier & Neuhaus (I have watched their friendly against France).
Rumours that Wan-Bissaka and possible Abraham will get a call-up to the senior squad tonight.
