I will never understand the FA in this country. Choosing mac laren was the biggest mistake they could have done, even big Sam would have been better, English squad need a kick in the butt, I for one don't support England, I'm French, but I would like to see England doing well just for the sake of our Liverpool players. This coach is a joke, always finding stupid excuses, what got me last time was his reaction when the press suggested that he should get the sack, instead of being professional and respect the opinion of other he just laughed at them, in fact laugh at you guys fans of England.
Something I learned since day one when I moved to England is that football is very important for people here, it's their pride, when you see how many fans the English side have during competition its force the respect, the lads should "die" on the pitch every time they play for the shirt. Three lions on the shirt and you actually have a team of lambs playing it. The coach IS responsible for the result, the players for the performance, with a man like Mac Laren how can you possibly getting motivated to get a result when the guy is picking the wrong team and play people at the wrong position ( Lennon on the left, Gerrard on the right, etc..).
You are playing Andorra...ANDORRA and it become this must win game where people having doubt that you could get a decent result!! England should trash Andorra but Andorra part timers believe now that they could get a result, people should be scared to play England instead they feel full of confidence to get a result. I remember the days when England was all out like lions, now you can feel the tension, everybody is playing so safely especially with their first touch, if you look carefully, always on the back foot. The other point is why oh why England is trying to play so many systems? They should go for a solid 4-4-2 and stick to it, look at France for example, we always play 4-4-2 and during the last world cup, no wives, no paper FOCUS on the job and against all odds we nearly win it and why? because we have a coach who play player where they should play and with a simple strong system.
