England u21 v Spain u21

[RobertT]

Not seen Cleverly, but Sinclair is not great.  He's ok, but with so many of our players has little regard for possession of the football and thinks as an individual.  He'll probably be a sort of Fulham regular, or maybe a team like Blackburn.  Earn a decent living out of the game, maybe get the odd sniff of and England squad but essentially spend much of his career with a reputation in our media far exceeding his ability.

The U21's play like a younger version of the senior team... which isn't great. Incapable of playing short incisive passes (unless it's backwards/sideways), and squandering possession in a heartbeat. Coaching across all youth levels needs a massive overhaul. Being strong, quick, and 'big' seems to be the only requirement of English footballers these days, with little regard for technique and proper tekkers.
