Milner blast after final drubbing
Tuesday 30th June 2009, 9:22AM BST.
Villa’s James Milner has branded England’s European under-21 Championship final capitulation against Germany ‘unacceptable.’
Stuart Pearce’s young lions were blown away 4-0 by their arch-rivals in Malmo.
Milner said: “Everyone is hurting and the way we lost the game is not good enough.
“The lads are disappointed. It all comes down to the big games and there are no excuses, but hopefully this will make us stronger.
“It is pointless if we don’t learn from it. It feels worse than two years ago, because it was a final and we wanted to win it.”
