Wasn't impressed with the performance today - if that is the cream of the CoEs then the systen hasn't worked

Watched the Japan game , English football is light years away from what is required to compete at international level and yes the COE system is poor as is the general level of womens football.
sadly not much will change thank heavens for dual nationality.

Recorded it and just watched it - Japan by far the better team but did England actually try and adapt their tactics to the opposition ?   Japan were clearly faster and sharper - the English girls looked stronger but (and I know TV can be deceptive) bulky and lacking in agility.   Maybe we could have tried to play to our strengths a bit more.   I know we are talking youth football here and maybe they want to stick to a way of playing they think is best for the development of the players but surely at the elite level you also have to learn how to adapt to win games.

Obviously need to work on their fitness.

[sylvain]

Some players certainly looked tired in the Norway game. I also think the coach got it wrong with the 4-2-4 system  that left the two central midfielder very open. They made a double substitution at half-time but the final ball was not there. Fitness was part of the problem, creativity was not great, saying the French team has had many players low on energy in their third game as well. 

[Welsh May]

We were surprised to hear one of the players in a local derby last night was an England u17 given she wasn't sleek to be polite........... whilst I wouldn't expect players to be skinny, you would expect them to be toned and able to complete a full match without looking jaded? So that was interesting given earlier comments about fitness. From my reckoning the u17s are missing some very able players who coaches haven't recommended... back to my fave topic of favouritism?. I understand John Griffiths is open to suggestions, so he probably needs to do some scouting there are some excellent u17s out there that have slipped under the radar and u16s and u15s etc etc .........

England is always going to be at a disadvantage against youth national sides that train more regularly (some of them, such as Germany, I've heard even live together).  Our national youth squads don't train often enough so they never really get the chance to gel as a team.
