Well he sort of did, by taking him off at half time thinking it would bring an improvement. That worked well didn't it??!!
I just watched England U19's beat Serbia 4-0, through to the semi finals. Some really talented players none more so than Chukwuemeka, what a player he is. Jebbison came on and scored a really nice goal also. Play again Saturday against Israel.
Pretty sure we tried to get Jebbison instead of Smith. But he opted for guaranteed first team football under Hasslebank
Just a heads up, England U19's play Italy in the semi-finals of the European Championship at 4 pm tomorrow. Worth watching, on BBC, in previous games I've been very impressed with England.
Really good win for England U19's V Italy 2-1, coming from 0-1 down after they got a penalty early on. Into the final.
Alex Scott of Bristol City looks a good player, score England's opening goal, probably see him in the first game of the season.
For those wanting their Football fix, just a reminder England U19's play Israel U19,s this evening at 7 pm on BBC in the final of the European Championship.
Nah, we're lulling them into a false sense of security, drawing their sting, tiring them in the heat. We've got the wind in the second half...Unless it turn around.
