He is also physically stronger than Brozek. However, as deyna pointed out, his goalscoring record ought to be better. He also didn't have any clear chance yesterday, though he gave English defenders a run for their money. As for Majewski, I think it's natural he'll lose possession because the position he's playing requires risk. It's just a matter of knowing when to dribble and when to make a long pass. But the potential is there, it just waits to be formed. I would also like to see Krzysztof Krol from real on the left back position, I remember him as an interesting player from the Canadian youth championships.

Tyton is okay for a youth player, but out of all the games i have seen he has been a real bobbler. I dont really expect him to make it at the international level for us, but he can probably have adecent club career. Pawlowski was good, and its not the first time he has played well at the u21 level. he also plays regularly for his club. Majewski obviously has lots of skill, we know that. but in this game he lost a few too many balls, although some of his passing and trickery was still good. i have seen him play better and be more influential though. one of the cbs was pretty good, or both i dunno, it was hard to make out. koka and polczak.....but one of them is hella fast, and some great clearing headers too. i think the best english chances came off tyton's bobbles, so i wouldnt say they looked shaky. and of course england are no joke so they are going to create chances..... rzezniczak was poor in the first half and i was disappointed, he didnt play for his club this past week though, so i dunno if it was injury, sickness, form, etc....but he has looked much much better before. most of the time he was our best player in u21 qualifying. trust me.. janczyk put in another hard shift, but his scoring record for the u21s has been quite poor unlike at the u20s and u19s. in fact, i bet if he scored in our games at home against spain and russia where he had some really good chances, in russia away too, than we could of been in the driver seat for uefa u21 qualifying. that was really the difference to be honest, and bialkowski's red card at home against spain. still some good talent there. -------------------------------- Grosicki is the player that was missing for me though, him and some of the other 88s should be a solid foundation for the next u21 team. plus he had great chemistry with pawlowski and majewski....although it isnt going to be easy again as we will be in pot 3. good result for us, 0-0 in england at any level is good…..trust me….and it wasnt really our best team either……grosicki, bialkowski….although i think england had more of a b-team than us of course….

still some good talent there.

Grosicki is the player that was missing for me though, him and some of the other 88s should be a solid foundation for the next u21 team. plus he had great chemistry with pawlowski and majewski….although it isnt going to be easy again as we will be in pot 3.

First, Radoslaw Majewski: the guy has enormous potential and great skills, for me he and Johnson were the best on the field in terms of technical skills. Sometimes he was too individual on the pitch and made one dribble too many. Now he must find a coach who'll teach him how to play a bit faster and make better choices. Second, Dawid Janczyk: hard fought battle on his account. I have an impression that he developed in terms of first touch and physical strength. I big prospect, no doubt. Third, Szymon Pawlowski: have the skills and pace to run at defenders. He isn't yet good enough for the A team, but one can spot a lot of potential in his play. Other than that, the GK and defenders looked a bit shaky. They especially had problems with bringing the ball upfield, there were a lot of unnecessary mistakes and lost possession. Rzezniczak was humiliated by Johnson. The defensive midfielders couldn't hold onto the ball and organize the play, however Glik seems an interesting player. Kuklis is good on the ball, but he lacks pace and physical strength. All in all, I like what I saw in the game, that was a really close encounter and I'm sure that some of the players will become important members of the first team in the future.

Ebi has to be the man in the Euro, so his recent performance is comforting, especially if Zuraw isn't going to lead our team. I saw him in the weekend and he still lacks the flair, if you ask me. Even though he seems to come up tp the Larisa's management expectations (not substituted in a difficult situation for his team and helped to draw the game).
