This is not copying the latest fad.

This is using common sense to bring together a group o players under a man many believe to be the next england boss and have them all work together at a tournament.

But feel free to give your ideas on how it should be done TOOR as the suck it and see approach way has not worked since 1967

I can't see that we'd be worse off trying it this way, we can't keep doing the same thing that has failed to bring us success for the last 40+ years and expect it to change. We've had good players in that time but we've never had a truly great team who looked like they thought they were going to win game after game at the highest level.
Letting proven premiership players who are u21 team up for this tournament could be the kick start for a group of them to experience winning at the international level and potentially it spill over into the senior team.

The definition of madness is doing the same thing time and time again but expecting a different result.

Make take on how it should be done has many factors, simply copying others won't work, for me.

Firstly you have to get rid of negativity, this affects the players' massively. That starts with the manager. Bring somebody in British who can encourage players to play in their own way, an attacking style, which the English are good at. The media has to stop with the negativity which the sheep carry on.

B teams entering the lower leagues would help greatly also in my opinion.

There are many things which aren't right. I don't think stopping young players who are the best in their positions from playing is one of them.

Again who said copy others. I said that the talented group of young english players will got to a major tournament with their next senior manager.

And we are not stopping them from playing, we are playing them as a group, to develop an learn how each other plays over a longer period. This will introduce positivity as a winning group develop

The simple fact is, when you have better players the younger ones will play for the U21s. As it is a lot of players have retired recently and everyone was crying out for that so the new players can come in and now the new media agenda is to push the young players back to the U21s.

It's not the media agenda you fool, it is the desire of the current U21 manager Gareth Southgate, a strong willed Man who knows he own mind when it comes to what he wants

For some strange reason you think the Daily Mail picks what happens in the UK....that it drives opinions here. What it does is publish rubbish 50 year old middle class folks want to read. Now that is not the Emgland fanbase is it

Or is it how the people charged with stopping the rot we have been in since 1966
