England U21s and Jack Rodwell
Comments (2)
If you saw the U21 game last night, England were comfortably beaten by a very good and highly motivated German side.
Jack Rodwell came on at about 75 mins ? to me it seemed he slotted in at right back. Within a minute he was chasing down a german who headed for and scored their 3rd goal. The 4th Goal also happened down Jack?s side and nothing he could do about it either.
Why oh why was Jack brought on to play right back? He?s definitely not a defender and had a great first game against the Germans in midfield. In fact, even the german TV commentator wondered why the only player to score against them up to last night was on the bench.
England were not at the races and Jack should have been on much earlier in midfield. Sorry Stuart ? I know it?s easy to manage from this fence and after the game we?re all wiser ? but I was disappointed with your handling of one of England?s best young midfielders.
Yes, I am biased as a toffee ? but I think I?m right on this one. It may not have changed the outcome, but England wouldn?t have been so overrun in midfield with our Jack.

As for Stuart Pearce - he put his ’reserve’ team out to play Germany in the group stage to rest his ’best’. Oh great - they get a result, and give him "a selection headache", which means back to plan A.
A bear of little brain our Psycho. Put it this way, if the evil day comes and we lose Moyes, who would be clamouring for Pearce to replace him?
