What an actual tit.

‘The England U21 team is the utterly impossible job’

Southgate was awful as under 21s manager too then got the top job.

Aidey is going about it right.

Let's see how many reds the Italians get tonight then.

In fairness there are a lot of players either with the full England squad or out injured who qualify for that team. James, Saka, Rice, Bellingham, Foden and Mount are all with the full squad. Sancho, Hudson Odoi, Lamptey and Greenwood all injured, and Alexander Arnold not picked for either. That's some serious quality that I'd challenge even Aidy Boothroyd to feck up.

The national team has this weird thing where once a player makes the full squad they are seen as beyond the u21s. I remember when spain won the world cup they still had players from that squad in the u21s tournament the next year. Tournament football is learnt imo

Just read that now. I’m actually dumbfounded. How on earth does he think this will motivate his players?! Should be shot out of a cannon for this (and being mega garbage).

Bet Tom and Ben can’t wait to get back to FF and working with Don Carlo on Friday. Boothroyd is an actual moron, I never want an England team at any level to lose but I’m praying for Croatia to cap this guys reign off tomorrow

That’s a valid point, tbf. I’ve talked a lot of trash about Tom over the years, so his recent form has been a pleasant surprise.

Be fuming if he’s had it drummed out of him by that utter balloon Boothroyd.

Conversely, of course, he could be so relieved to be under Carlo’s tutelage again that he’ll morph into the Scouse Pirlo.

Thankfully he'll be gone in a bit.

No Godfrey or Davies in England u21s squad, hopefully just left out to give others a chance and not Injured, as sure it was said before their is 7 changes

-------------------------------------------
Ben Godfrey and Tom Davies both failed late fitness tests for England under-21s this afternoon and miss their final group game against Croatia.

I suspect Carlo has had a word. Happened with a few of our players on international duty since he arrived.

Yep, hopefully. and if they were Injured they have the extra few days as well , but to me having the Fitness Tests make's it seem that they will be ok for us, as if bad they would have not needed them to begin with

Yeh I remember him doing it with, for some reason I want to say Gomes, where they mysteriously were "injured" and came back to us but played at the weekend.
