The penalty shoot-out is a total waste of time. It'll be nowhere near the same conditions because they've just steamrolled through 90 minutes, whereas in the competition they'll have been grafting for 120 minutes and under genuine pressure. And are the Slovakian players really going to give a flying fig what happens?  Pearce really should think things through.

 

You simply can't replicate the pressure of a "proper" penalty shoot out. This will be little different to penalties in training.

Exactly. It's a waste of time. If anything, it'll just put doubts into the heads of whoever misses when it comes to the real thing.

I wonder what the score would have been if we'd have played 442 from the start. 10? ???

 

They had 25+ shots so they'd have still missed chances.

Nigel Reo Coker is 23

 

Kieran Richardson is 22

 

Leroy Lita is 22

 

Anton Ferdinand is 22

 

Wayne Routledge is 22

 

Leighton Baines is 22

 

Peter Whittingham is 22

 

Why does Pearce play so many over 21 players. It is not that there is a shortage of under 21 players? NRC especially, should be in England B. Even If he is not good enough fro England B he shuldn't be in under 21 team.

If he thinks they are the best players available why shouldn't he play them?

It's their age when the registration point is that counts.

Because they would have been 21at the start of the tournament  qualifiers, nothing wrong with it imo and we havent had a England B for years so they wouldnt be playing for England at all.
