Good move. He was the manager of these lads when they won the U17 Euros in 2014.

 

U20s squad update:
↔️ Josh Sims (@SouthamptonFC) for Ezri Konsa
↔️ Max Lowe (@dcfcofficial) for Kyle Walker-Peters

I didn't understand why Sims wasn't in the first squad.

 

It's a 100% winning record for our #YoungLions so far this week.

At last an actual left back playing at left back for this age group and not a makeshift right back or center backplaying there, what a refreshing change.

 

Leading 1-0 Pat Roberts from the spot

 

Solanke, Roberts won the penalty.

 

Yeah got that wrong but Roberts makes it 2-0 with a great goal apparently

 

GOAL! What a strike by @patrick7roberts to double our #YoungLions' lead! pic.twitter.com/DoFYK24im0

Last kick of the match, apparently. We remain England.

 

why isn't Ejaria in the squad btw ?

 

Ejaria has a ruptured ankle ligament.

very poor. not one player in the 11 who can keep the ball.

 

Did anyone catch the line-up?

all the best players are on the bench.

 

Poor display. Really unwatchable just like the U21s against Germany. Shame we had to change coaches with this group, Williams looked like he was doing a good job.
