Makes sense as well, can go off to Italy / San Marino for a proper Tournament Experience whereas the Nations League Finals is nothing more than a typical International Break
Going to be a big year for Dominic @ Bournemouth next season, he's close becoming just another Chelsea wonderkid who was great in the Youth teams because they could buy the best youngsters in the areas, come the First Team though he could just drift away as another one who quite cant make it, to be fair though injuries have hindered his progression a little though
4 Leicester players, if they can keep hold of their best players they can only get stronger.
i.e. Tammy Abraham | Phil Foden | Morgan GIbbs-White | James Maddison | Aaron Wan-Bissaka | Harvey Barnes
Think if you put him in a creative Premier League team he could potentially step up as Swansea were the wrong choice for him
Then again he could just be another Jordan Rhodes
Wont just improve his career but will also fuck them up!!
Happy for Konsa and DaSilva. I believe he's been play RB for the U21s but I'd put him up against any of the CBs in that squad, especially since you expect Wan-Bassaka to start. Our Jay looks like first choice LB.
Feel for Lookie though. He was a real stand-out at the U-20 World Cup. Wish he'd gone to Leipzig in the summer.
Yes, Alexander-Arnold, Chilwell, Rice, Winks, Loftus-Cheek, Alli, Rashford and Sancho could all still play too.
AWB is actually older than TAA so if Trent keeps his form up then it's going to be hard for Wan Bissaka to get in the team.
Ben Chilwell will be our No.1 for a while
Decent write up on some of the expected tournament stars here: https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/48649868
That is some team for an U21 national team, I predict we will go far. Germany U21 looked decent yesterday they might be the ones to beat still.
Not many central midfielders, quite a few Attacking midfielders in the side. Defence might be the weakest part but hopefully we have enough going forward to counter if needed.
Looking forward to tonights game.
Hope we dont go too defensive against the French, they may be a strong side but we need to remember that we've got some outstanding talents coming through so why not make THEM go defensive with their tactics for once rather than the other way around
We've got so much pace in the team we can really hurt opponents but only if we can pass it about properly and not for the sake of it
We should just beat France, but the reality is we are both nations who have already promoted a large % of u21s to the first team.
Was disappointed with Serbia last night who had Jovic up front, they were poor.
We need to go for it, only 1 runner up spot so it could be crucial to win all 3 games with this being our hardest. I think we will, but it wont be a pushover 2-1 England
@chris I have only watched last nights game with ze germans, just the normal hunch and they normally do well... looked decent as the game went on last night.
Little surprised that Solanke is ahead of Abraham
Surprised also on Solanke, unless they're going to rate him and Abraham each game.
