always lookin for someone to blame,
is it maclarens fault the players played shit?
can they not play football? are they robots that need commands?
scotland hasn qualified, but we're not sacking our manager, ad he does a perfectly good job,
i think its the squad of kids that are getting too big for they're boots that they need to look at,
top flight football ruins players all the time, pinning so much hope on them to carry a whole squad through.
maclaren maybe part of the problem, but think it runs deeper than just him

It does run deeper than McCLown correct but he proved hes not good enough. Yes the players need a serious kick up the arse but is it not the coachs job to motivate, train and coach the players and select tactics etc, all of which he wa spoor at, very poor in fact!

Dont talk rubbish.
Who decided to continually stick with Lampard when he was playing shocking.
Who decided to continually play Lampard and Gerrard together when it was already well known under Sven that this just didnt work.
Who decided to drop Barry after him showing MOTM type performances alongside Gerrard.
Who took the 'Im the boss' power too far by totally overlooking Beckham only to have to go running back to him.
Who continually stuck by Robinson when he just wasnt upto the job leading to a few very poor goals conceeded by him.
Who continually had his favourates (Downing) and always insisted on bringing or starting them.
Etc. etc. etc.
Now Im sorry, but in 19 games the amount of the above decisions is just shocking.
And before you say it, I know the FA itself has its problems, and possibly the way English football is currently run, but at the end of the day we didnt qualify because of the poor decisions made by McKnob.

no, it is mclarens fault, last night he picked a team that simply wasnt good enough, no-one else picked that team
england needed a draw against croatia at home, that should be a certainty for a team like england
he wasnt up to the job
------------------ Carson ------------------
Bridge ---- Campbell --- Lescott --- Richards
J. Cole ---- Gerrard --- Lampard --- Barry --- SWP
----------------------Crouch ------------------
WTF was wrong with picking this team
------------------- James --------------------
A. Cole -- Lescott --- Richards --- Brown
J. Cole --- Gerrard --- Hargreaves --- Beckham
-------- Crouch ---- Bent (Maybe Defoe)

look at the subs bench clown
if they are fit enough to be on the bench, they are fit enough to play

I dunno knowing McKnob, he may just want them to get some bench experience.

Because he has no other fucking idea. He though - hmmmm, we need the draw so will put 10 men behind the ball and defend for our lives.
Then by 14mins they had scored 2 and he had no fucking idea what to do, and left it how it was - even though it was obvious it wasnt working - until the second half

For starters you are clearly utterly fucking thick. Ashley Cole is not a frigging right back and Wes Brown is not a left back, so you have lost your argument to start with.
Beckham doesn't play on the left and Joe Cole doesn't play on the right.
I get really annoyed by thick cunts like you who cannot grasp really simple things about football. Next you will cry that it is due to 'too many foreigners' or some crap like that?
