3) Although the formation failed spectacularly it also has to be said that all the players yesterday apart from Robinson and Beckham played VERY poorly
I'm not saying he's good but I would say that he is still by far the best available. People forget that it would have been 7 competitive wins in a row if we won last night. And I know its the manner of defeat that is shocking and abysmal but what are the alternatives. It was a historically shambolic result there's no denying that but if we win our next to games and qualify none of you will give a shit.
Till we lose in the quarters and WC again.

I'm not especially calling for his head but
1) Take it out of the player's wages for being so inept
2) This isn't Ron Atkinson coming in with a couple months left to try and avoid relegation, it's the fucking most talented England team in at least 20 years. They shouldn't
need much coaching or motivation, just someone to pick the team and get them playing to their strengths. Do you really think there's anyone who would be considered who
wouldn't have any idea at all about how to do that?
3) Up to now Robinson playing well has been a given, mostly cause we've been playing sub-standard teams but still. Beckham played well because there was no-one around him all game. If they tried that against, say, Eire, Keane would've (in footballing terms) raped him all night. Also to a certain extent how are Lampard and Gerrard meant to get into the game when he pings the ball over their heads all night?
