Hmmm....Lee Carsley.

Managed the tournament to a tee.

Would be good to see a load of those fast tracked to the seniors.

Please no more Jordan Henderson

Anderson should take Hendersons place, I though he was immense tonight!

Hated the situation back and defend from 92nd minute afterwards. Just asking for trouble. But fantastic win all the same.

I would, but it’s a sort of Klug situation isn’t it. Neither wanted to go on to their senior squads, both enjoying what they do and brilliant at it.

He certainly did and I’d argue it’s harder to create an organised, harmonious and functional unit at that level.

The players he picked all looked like they wanted to perform for him.

In that role, It’s not like he can just identify one or two players and say, yep, these are the ones I’m going to build the team around for the next three tournaments.

Time will tell whether choosing Tuchel was a master stroke, but I wonder if the FA panicked a little too quickly after the Greece game?

That said, I don’t think Carsley ever gave the impression he really wanted the hassle of dealing with the temperaments, petulance and overblown egos of the already rich kids in the main England squad.

Poll: September 2025. Which one?

Did the rules change? I thought if you got an international call-up you couldn’t choose to not go, much less play for your club. Unless the stupid club World Cup takes priority

He chose the stupid club cup over England. In my opinion he let his team mates down over money

Just to remind you England does not have a national anthem. The one we sang yesterday is the British one.

I see what you are saying and agree, a tough watch but with the exception of hitting the bar, they never really threatened.

Fantastic achievement by the England U21's! Considering we could have fielded this side:

James Trafford
Rico Lewis
Miles Lewis-Skelly
Jarrad Branthwaite
Levi Colwill
Kobbie Mainoo
Jude Bellingham
Noni Madueke
Cole Palmer
Morgan Rogers
Liam Delap

and still have Archie Gray, Taylor Harwood-Bellis, Adam Wharton, Jamie Gittens and Tyler Dibling on the bench, mind-blowing that we put together a squad with none of those players who managed to win the tournament, and is insane potential going forward for the senior team...

They knew he was an U21 international when they signed him so to deny him the chance of winning a real medal (if they did) would be a bit harsh!

I’m sure they wouldn’t have “denied him” the opportunity, but not succumbing to an implied feeling of obligation and loyalty to your first established Prem side when joining it, is a big pressure for a 21-year old player.

Think he'd have done well in the U21 Euros but I suspect that Tuchel will have been more interested in seeing how he gets on playing in the Chelsea team against higher level opposition than in seeing him in the U21s again.

My takeaway was how much poorer defending at U21 level is generally than senior level.
