Italy take the lead. Good game for a friendly! ---

Defence has had a couple of shakey moments but gotta say I like the playing style of the England U21’s, it’s much easier on the eye than the mundain shit the senior squad churn out. They move the ball a lot quicker and are far more purposeful. They also have a team spirit and camaraderie that’s lacking in the seniors. ---

Chalobah looks like a class act. Good opener from the nippy Demari Gray. Deflected equaliser and then some poor marking from a corner. The Italian number 9 looks about 38. ---

It was indeed … lets hope JWP and Redmond were taking notes on the art of clinical finishing ---

Lewis Baker levels for England. We have also hit the bar and the post. ---

Redmond’s name keeps being linked with the seniors but surely playing games like this for another year or two, has to be better for his developement, benefitting both Saints and for England in the future … and that applies to all the youngsters. Why they always insist on prematurely pushing the kids into the floundering full England squad is beyond me. Just think how much better someone like Sterling would be for England now, if he stuck with the U21’s for a while longer … he wouldn’t have to be rebuilding his confidence for a start. Good equaliser, we’ve stepped it up a gear. Only problem is they’ve got that fuckin’ brass band all excited again, bunch of annoying cunts !! :lou_angry: ---

England bring on a Tammy to plug a hole up front. ---

Stephens wins it from a JWP corner in the last few seconds. I make that a Saints win. ---

Hahaha Jack Stevens wins it with the last kick of the game. ---

Enjoyed that. Two well matched sides. Interesting to see Chambers and Stephens in the middle of defence. Thought Stephens looked the more assured. Cheers for the £16m Arsene.
