England vs Northern Ireland | Highlights | U21 Euro Qualification 06-09-2024

if you allow the opposition to go and dictate the game it can be a really long evening and most importantly when you land in possession of the ball you've got to take yeah I mean he's probably a little bit hard done by not been involved in the senior Squad early chance so for the visitors North have to be wary right from the get go was fired into the side netting by Jonathan row un loone from nor City at Mars sometimes that's a difference Thomas when you step up from Club football get yourself into International Football it's the players at the top end of the pitch very good on 1 V one Jews they're crisp they're picked up by hack a virtual ever presentence so far in the group for the English there's another iron player who's ding slowly well I think the northernland goalkeeper is trying to alert the referee to the situation it's is it Forbes Over The Far Side I think it's Forbes he may have just got a hand in the face I'm not too who was trying is contact contact L actually is in terms of that link up play CU you don't want to get the Tor to isolated as England come again doy plays it in low it's good defending got just enough on it Forbes again involved you just look at the switch of play it's terrific and doy is allowed to be free in this oh it's given away fairly cheaply can Northern IR take advantage Taylor didn't really catch it it was a case of him trying to generate POR in the shot there was a little bit of contact just can also play for Scotland gray obviously a grand nephew of Eddie gray here's mcafe and m t Charles it is near post the goalkeeper though got down very well to Pal it away for the corner kick it's a lovely little turn isn't it it's a good ball in this a good strike the thing is once they get into the 18 Yard Box you're frightened to touch them they move the ball so well they're so quick with their feet if you dive in you can commit a foul but sh Charles was equal to it wasn't going to be bit at the near post comfortable save in the end but then England will hope that they can get the success in the wide areas I mean if you're Ben fer you're saying to your players get it wide as early as you possibly can and isolate the the wide player mati still coming can't keep it d James M made four appearances for Manchester City spent a lot of time out on loan at Sheffield United there's a little tug initially from Forbes he moves every the English half and everybody is for Don flicks it in almost onto the head of Dale Taylor and well it was a tough Challenge from from mcken who certainly caught Trafford referee was right on top of it straight away away lot of contact between mckernan and the goalkeeper who certainly came out worse in that situation it's a great header isn't it by foger keeps it alive Arie gray gets the header just think the momentum of JJ McAn takes him into James Trafford at Villa Park and his manager inry had some interesting comments in regard to his 121 call up there he was flashing it over the top but Amry felt that he wasn't quite sure how much he would benefit from playing at this level given how well he's acquitted himself in the Premier League he was all alone there and he probably Rogers nice little disguise path in towards row again it's ter Norther doubled up in many occasions to stop him magate dealt with by Donley and Charles Donley used his body well and just guide it back to the goalkeeper and you expect that will be the final opportunity of this first half no goals at the break still scoreless of the balam show grinds England started very well mcy and Rogers with the best opportunities for the visitors but the home doublin tomorrow to take on the Republic of irand referee happy enough to get play underway summer but even having the experience to be away as a young player lifted in and dealt with by he's been involved with Brandon Rogers Celtics site in the early stages of the Scottish Seasons de just turned into trouble three England players with her Hackney just goes through the gears and it could be an opportunity from just outside the box it was Anderson who didn't quite catch it skids off the outside of his right foot on well why what's so impressive is when they win the ball how quick the transition is they know when Northern and turn the ball over there's an opportunity there's gaps for England to try and go and exploit they move move the ball touch was a little bit heavy a little bit Scrappy as well but M's been anything but as England cut through get with the team effort gathered by charts was like pinball for a couple of minutes there wasn't a ball springing about but M again always aware ell Anderson terrific ball up the inside shoulder off [Music] cor just try to pick his moment flag goes up would have Ked It [Music] [Applause] Anyway less than 25 minutes remaining here at the balam sh GRS over the top not sure he got the final touch I think it was the lap picked up a knock and doing so Newcastle against Manchester United in the efl Cup last season here's Kelly Dean flashes It Wide his first opportunity in front of goal it was bit more brave from northern Ireland's point of view and terer involved so to Kelly tried to lay it off for theing a rare attempt on goal for the hes ey you know the one thing you can't question their spirit in Nations league in counter you you mentioned before the game after last night I good Factor post Luxembourg oh it's brilliant from Lewis Hall and a body the opening 75 minutes of this game and he's maybe seen something different from him chance oh and it was a good chance too for McKenzie cook dap this Norther have to be careful dap running at the backline gathered by Charles what a ball from Sean Stewart so inviting probably the ball where deal terer sitting on the bench thinking that's exactly what I wanted exactly but what a passage of play Northern irand attack one end and then England they is in Jr oh it's made it way through best chance of the game best off of the game from charge it was Anderson who found all the space space that's been at a premium throughout this game two quick firing this chances here they come again and they will keep so many good individuals who is it going to fall to De oh that would have been some story it could actually work out as the lap gets on to it just want it looked as if england were going to make a mistake at one end it's a case of the LA buring down and go at the other and it comes to nothing and you can start to see the England heads go down a little bit Michael Forbes I think he believed that ball was going out he didn't think that Archie gra was going to get in the end of it suddenly one ball in behind and it just freed up Liam Del I think he's made a difference he out of time that's 5 minutes out of time Morgan still he goes away by Rossell on Orthodox Jonathan Russell really awkward bounch in front of Miss it see Morgan just pushing on comes to Johnny Russ not currently in the automatic qualifying spot will they drop points for just a second time in this campaign potentially after it's gathered by Charles it was a weak enough effort from hack So Cal though isn't he Pier Charles never flustered all could zipped in he's just nonchalant just moves himself across mate Clips it in headed Away by f one of those unsung heroes Northern Ireland for Street of England they grab a point at home to the European Champions a hard hard for draw Patrick Kelly and his teammates have managed
