ummm, isn't the whole point of being u21 boss is to produce as much players for the national team as possible. you don't want them going to their first major tournament at the age of 26, you want that to be their 3rd or 4th major so they know what to expect and aren't so nervous and can get closer to peak form.

sounds like he wants all the good u21's to stay with him to produce better results and make him look more successful.
 
Woy's comments about Ross, i can spot what he is trying to do. He is not having a go at him at all, but rather more at the press. He can spot what they are trying to do, build up peoples expectations for him to be brilliant and put pressure on Ross.

Behind the scenes he will be praising Ross face to face, but we all know our media love to build people up to knock them down.

Well said moomin..got to be intelligent to spot what he meant.unlike other comments.
 

Not trying to get off topic but think also the press are drumming up reasons to drop rooney.If he plays him and hes rap they will say,told you so.if he doesnt play him and we lose they will say.
left our most experienced forward out..hodgson hasnt got a clue.
Always hedging there bets ..typical press no marks.
 
Martinez onRoss's performance
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/wo...criticism-hailing-brilliant-Ross-Barkley.html
‘The back heel to Rooney, the pass for Lambert’s goal and the shot Ross had, give you an indication of the player that he will become,’ added Martinez, who will travel to the World Cup next week.

‘We have to allow him room to develop and let’s not put too much pressure on him. At the moment he is perfectly suited to playing in the No 10 role, but in time he will develop into the complete midfielder. Nothing fazes him, but the World Cup is a massive event and Ross needs protection.

‘We just need to calm things down a bit and don’t expect too much from him. I’ve seen what Roy had to say after the game but I think he was just trying to protect him a little bit.’
 
Pearce, loved him as a player but he's a terrible manager and should mind his own.

Hodgson - " He’s a talented boy, I’m not criticising him. I’m just making certain that people don’t get too carried away.”

sensible words but can still effect a player mentally and he may start being afraid to take the risks that make him special. Wish we would stop curtailing natural talent in this country.
 

Very good u21 side

agree, i think english football talent is improving we just expect to much and it is costing the devlopment of the national squad, instead of it's not how you win it's how you play which is roberto's attitude which benefits the team in the long run from them improving and developing we are very much win any way you can which is just making us terrible and lack any idea as to how we play cause we keep changing it
