Careful, he might offer to meet you for a scrap over DM's like he did with me
so does that mean that Grealish is better than De Bruyne, or does it mean that stats can be used to 'prove' something that is not true.
Never once said he was better I said he has better chances created by a long way in a lesser team,was nonsense tho your point about defensive stats tho wasn’t itLike most things he comes out with it's utter fiction.

Grealish is wayyy out in front in terms of goals his chances created he’s 20+ Aheat of De Bruyne
Sky sports had it up last week he’s created over 20 more chances than second place De BruyneWhere's this stat that says he's created 20+ chances more than De Bruyne then? All the reputable stats sites have De Bruyne higher per 90.
As I keep saying we shouldn't be comparing Mount & Grealish as they are completely different players playing completely different roles but as you keep banging on about it....
Can you honestly look at the bottom section & tell me Grealish is better defensively?

Wrong time of the month?This attitude is part of the problem. Most of the u21 team play men’s football ffs, it’s not some jolly crèche based out of St George’s Park. And Haaland did his time in his u20/u21 side in 2018-2019. What’s your point?
We might have a lot of games at Wembley but crucially if we win our group we then have to play one of France/Germany/Portugal in Dublin.I'm all for giving Southgate this euros ..but surely we are in agreement that if he fails to reach the semi finals at least with us having so many games at Wembley he's got to go
We can't allow him to then take these players to the world Cup in 2022
I watched England U21’s last night. It reminded me how turgid the football was when he was our manager. He must have some really good friends at the FA to have landed that gig. Utter shite
If I could sack Southgate and Steven Gerrard took over we would have a better chance of winning the Euros. Southgate is in essence a failed club manager and average TV pundit.The FA are clueless and happy with mundane football. Southgate and Boothroyd! Yawn!
I havent watched a single England match since we lost to Croatia in the WC. Partly down to games now being on Sky, mostly because its like pulling teeth!

MQuoted on Radio 1 today as saying it is impossible to achieve in his role.
U21s close to going out of their tournament too IIRC.
I found that statement from Bothroyd disturbing given the talent at his disposal. He mutters on about players not getting opportunities for first team football, but has a squad that has included: Ramsdale, Aarons, Sessegnon x2, Cantwell, Davies, Jones, McNeil, Skipp, Bewster, Hudson-Odoi, Greenwood, Smith-Rowe......all who play regular first team football this season.Quoted on Radio 1 today as saying it is impossible to achieve in his role.

That's without mentioning players who already are in the full england squad. He's had loads of talent to work with and in my view has failed miserably.

I wondered if I was missing something and Boothroyd was actually a progressive manager off the field, similar to Big Sam who was into analytics before it went mainstream.Boothroyd is an utter, abject failure in that role. Which should come as no surprise to anyone who watched his club management career.
How can you bemoan that talent steps up to the senior squad? That's literally the nature of the job & the same happens in most other U21 squads.
Spain top their group having lost U21 stars to the senior squad; Torres, Garcia, Pedri etc.
Same for Holland; De Ligt, Gravenberch, Stengs, De Jong.
That squad he has is capable of so much more than 1 point in the last 5 games. It's littered with talent yet they've only managed 1 shot on target from their 2 games, zero from open play!
We crashed out in Euro 2019 under him too, failing to win a single game with a squad that included Maddison, Mount, Foden, Calvert-Lewin, Henderson, Wan Bissaka, Konsa etc etc etc.
It's embarrassing that the FA have been banging on about an England DNA for 7 years now whilst simultaneously appointing dinosaurs like Boothroyd to manage the top young talent.

Do people really care about the performances of the U21 side? Surely the focus should be on player development rather than results?
It's important to note that the German u21 side of the early 2010s many of them went on to play and win the world Cup with the mens team in 2014Of course but in developing them you'd want to see some signs of progression.
Do you think taking a collection of Premier League regulars to zero Shots on Target from open play in 2 consecutive games against weaker opposition is a sign that he's developing them?

Watching the game all hail Boothroyd they have scored a goal.
It is nice to see the Lino stuck his flag up when the bloke is offside rather than waiting for an age to see what happens
Boothroyd is just terrible. Hopefully England crashing out will mean he gets the boot. They should give it to Eddie Howe as he’s a bright, young manager who encourages good football

He might not be. However I’m sure he would have ambitions to manage the full national team and one way of progressing to that job is to do well with the U21s.Why would he be interested in the U21 job?
Once we got found out that season there was no plan b.It's hard to really remember much about his period in charge here, we had a good start to the season but it was pretty one dimensional percentage football. I think he only won once after that Leeds game in early November when we were in 4th position in the table. It says a lot that people were keen on Thorn taking over!
