Hopefully now a new manager will realise that Terry Lampard Bridge and Gerrard and Beckham and Crouch are all passed it well in Bridges case never made it,and never play for England again.
What was he doing pickeing a inexperanced goalkeeper for such a big match,and has for Crouch on his own up front
At least when Beckham came on he showed some balls and wanted to try and Win.
Why did he not resign last night and leave with some pride intact and show that he has a pair of bollox ,and admit that he was not up to the job, but like the coward that he is he wait to be sacked,did he really think that he would not be sacked,he did not even wait in London at FA HQ, he is giving a press confrance in Yarm ,to a few local reporters,for me that shows just what a coward he is.
In 12 matches he has distroyed English football and turned us into the laughing stock of world football.
What really makes me mad is a lot of people are blaming the state of the pitch and yes it was bad,but Croatia played on the same pitch and played with passion and pride not like our bunch of overpaid nancy boys who are only intrested in how much money they are played,and how big a car they can drive.
Time to let the youngsters play a bigger part now

If the FA bodge this again we will just go from one losing streak to another, There is time until we need qualify for the world cup this time needs to be used to rebuild.
Rebuild with what though?
England have 1 player who I would say has a football brain, that is Joe Cole (another would be Paul Scholes, but he has retired from internationals) – the rest are all about forcing the game with power and energy.
Steven Gerrard or Frank Lampard don’t have the subtlety to play international football to a high standard. Good club players (well Gerrard is, I don’t particularly rate Lampard), but not world class. Wright-Phillips is good at what he does, but the build up to giving him the ball is very one-dimensional.
Crouch is barely worthy of playing in a championship team, never mind an international side. Defoe??? Ha ha ha
Too many over-rated players who believe the hype of SkySports.

Nope, but I know we are gash and didn’t expect anything.
You lot seem to expect to walk onto a pitch and beat anyone anytime.

Just like everybody else here i can not say that was unexpected and i am glad to say Terry Venables has been sacked too, Which i think is a positive move.
Steve McClaren just was never good enough, But i don’t fully blame him for this failure though, Some of the blame should go to the team, It should be a honour to walk out wearing the England shirt and a matter of pride to try and achieve for the country but all these guys play much better for the club sides. The FA need to shoulder some of the blame too for not having the balls to make changes that will improve things for the national side, McClaren was a make do manager and that shows more than ever now.
The FA needs to be brave now and put things into place to limit the amount of foriegn players in Premier sides, Allow the England side to spend more time together team building, Play less money making friendlies(we all know this is just trying to recoup losses from the Wembley mess up), They also need to look at a inspirational manager for the team instead of a make do one, Trouble is that job is poisoned chalice and i don’t eny anybody who gets that role.
If the FA bodge this again we will just go from one losing streak to another, There is time until we need qualify for the world cup this time needs to be used to rebuild.

I want to start the…
SAVE STEVE MCLAREN CAMPAIGN
As a non-englishman, I think he is doing a great job, and should be rewarded with a 10 year contract :diablo:
You have to realise (along with the rest of your country and the media) that your team is not that good. Technically poor, tactically poor, mentally extremely poor. Power and aggression can only take you so far, they couldn’t be aggressive on that pitch last night and were torn apart.
Croatia should have put 6 past them.
Sadly I have to agree with everything you said,but we have some good young players that has not been given a chance McClaren was just Sven in a different suit.
Paul
