Pathetic. Him being in charge is everything wrong with the FA.0

The problem is, they do it by numbers. They could easily just appoint an U-21 manager just for this tournament from somebody just out of a job. Somebody like Wilder or Howe for instance. Impart some different ideas from good managers. The players are developed by their clubs after all, not the U-21 manager.1

The FA do their best to appoint yes men with clean pasts and no skeletons in the cupboard. Football knowledge and tactical awareness is a consideration but public image matters greatly.0

That was just like watching us in many of our recent performances......quite uncanny in fact.
Dominating possession, absolutely woeful crossing, unconvincing corners and not creating many/any clear cut chances.
Add to that the lack of midfield creativity and the inevitable somewhat streaky opposition winner against the run of play, you just might as well have been watching us at our worst over the last few months.
Meh!

Yes it was very similar. Switzerland set up like a lot of teams do against us. They got bodies behind the ball and worked their socks off. They were not afraid to shoot and relied on a bit of luck or a mistake. Their goal was a miskick, but they had a few shots. You can only win the raffle if you buy a ticket.
Driving low crosses in when they had four or five players in the box and us one was never going to achieve anything. Our only real chance was set pieces the way we were playing.1 -

Two years ago it was obvious he was a terrible manager. We've wasted 5 years of youth development in the England set-up with this clown.SELR_addicks said:

Would prefer to go back to the "decent" Managers of Eriksson and Capello?
The guy is a joke and the set-up and substitutions today would tell you that.2 -
This is spot on. The players must almost resent turning up. We've got players getting coached by the likes of Klopp, Ancelotti, Tuchel, Farke and Arteta and then they turn up and have to listen to Boothroyd for 2 weeks.ValleyGary said:AB’s tournament record with England U21’s is absolutely horrific. When you then add in the fact of the talent he’s had at his disposal, it’s even worse. An over the hill club manager, in charge of our kids, yet sits comfortably knowing the FA have no bollocks to get rid of him. He started 5 at the back today against a Swiss side happy to defend on the edge of their own box. Utterly clueless.As you can probably tell, I can’t fucking stand him. These players probably receiving some of the best, modern and insightful coaching at their clubs, meet up for the U21’s and in walks T-Rex Aidy with his 1998 coaching manual.Arsehole.
Jones should've started, Madueke plays a lot for PSV so he probably should've started, and it was a bizarre decision to sub off Davies.
The only defence i can make for Boothroyd is that because we promote young kids to our seniors very quickly, he has to do without at least 7 players who are still eligible for this. I don't think any other country is as affected by that as we are. We could still play James, Foden, Rice, Mount, Sancho, Bellingham and Saka. Add the likes of Mason Greenwood and James Justin (who are both injured) to that lot and we would surely win this tournament easily.0 -
They lost 1-0 to Denmark.Chris_from_Sidcup said:The French squad is ridiculous. Players like Konate, Kounde, Camavinga, Aouar, Edouard.
Leeds' keeper Meslier is in the squad and isn't even their first choice.3 -

Davis is involved in everything. But getting everything wrong.0
-
Could be 3 down at half time, Boothroyd is shocking.0
-
Just like watching Charlton.0

My 82 year old mother-in-law, who has never had an interest in football, would’ve done a better job than Boothroyd has over the last few years.0
-
Very poor. Portugal have taught us a lesson today. They’ve looked technically better and sharper from the kick off.1
-
Fuck me, Portugal don’t need the referee to play for them to beat us. Softest penalty in the history of football there.0
-
Boothroyd has to be sacked after this tournament surely.9

England v Croatia @ 5pm... Gallagher starts
Need to win by two clear goals and Portugal need to beat Switzerland for us to advance.

I hope we get beat and we can say goodbye to the dinosaur in charge.2
-
1-0 England; Eze from the penalty spot
Portugal also beating Switzerland so we just need one more goal to somehow advance!!
Much better from us so far, well on top
Will get interesting if we get a second as it'll be Croatia that we'll replace in second spot0 - Sponsored links:

Absolutely- I dread to think how far backwards these players have gone under his stewardship.ValleyGary said:I hope we get beat and we can say goodbye to the dinosaur in charge.0 -
2 keepers on the bench?0
-
Really good first half. Hoping we can get the second and qualify.0
-
Portugal 2-0 up now
England really should have more than one so far themselves0 -
England playing beautiful football.
They deserve to have scored at least one more this half.1 -
