The trouble is, if they are going to replace Sven, they need to do it sooner rather than later, I agree with TL about the subs, it completly disruptes the play and what normally tends to happen is that some players will have to change position for the person coming on (therefore in effect make 2 changes for 1 sub) e.g beckham starting on the right with gerrard in the centre, sven would sub gerrard, push beckham inside to bring on wright-phillips.

The other thing that annoys me is playing players out of position, i'll use beckham as an example again, what is the point in playing him in centre mid for a friendly when he is most likely to play wide right in a competitive game (i didnt watch the game last night so dont know if it was done, however i have seen sven do this before).

I wouldnt put it past sven to start rooney in goal for a friendly because he wants to see how david james is up front. sven is that much of a dick to do something like that.

My money will be on sven to remain in charge,england at a push to make the semi's in the world cup, then sven to quit after the world cup. Then id go with the long shot of stevie bruce for manager.
