ENGLAND U21 0-0 SLOVAKIA U21 2000 Hart, Onuoha, Hoyte, Taylor, Cahill, Huddlestone, Reo-Coker, Milner, Young, Richardson, Nugent Young starts, currently 0-0. Does anyone here follow under 21 football? THe game goes to penalties no matter what the score
Why is Young playing CM? If it is anything like the Italy game at Wembley then Richardson will play behind Nugent and Young and Milner will play wide.
LMAO, Ashley Young has been far and away the best player on the pitch. Marwood has been raving about him on the box tonight!
Only just watched the last 15 mins or so. Huddlestone and Routledge have looked top class. I take it Young has been subbed now.
Young was subbed, but he got man of the match. I see Stuart Pearce is copying Aidy's idea of the mock penalty shoot-out :]]
I really rate Huddlestone, top player, not a bad penalty taker either! It is a good idea, something the full team should do if they ever actually qualify for a major championship again under McLaren. Seems the Slovaks struggle even with penalties!
Tonight went to show why we got £9,500,000 for him. I think Villa need to play him on the left next season, if they do then they'll get the best out of him. The left is also a troubled position for England, don't rule out a call-up to next summer's Euro's (if we qualify) if he impresses next season.
I went to the match up in Norwich as I've been up there on the beers for the last couple of days. Absolute rout. Young had a quiet first half but once the ridiculously over-rated Richardson limped off he moved out wide and looked twice as good. He certainly did look like a £9m man for big spells of the second half.
