Sven Goran Eriksson must go
Sorry, but he's had his chance I think as England manager. There is no doubt this team has talent...why does it never surface? I'm wondering if maybe they tanked this game in rebellion to Sven?
his stupid 4-5-1 and diamond formations are not working...the left side is still a problem. He keeps playing Beckham over S.W. Phillips and openly declaring his loyalty to players like Rio Ferdiand who looks completely lost out there lately...same with Michael Owen.
The last three England performances have been terrible and embarrassing. If they play like this in October, they don't deserve to go to Germany.
Thoughts?
I thought the cocensus among the pundits are that the midfield wasn't dominant at all, i.e. Gerrard and Lampard.
Beckham was energitic and made some good long passes, Rooney was left stranded at the left without the needed midfield help, Owen was outnumbered at the front.
Now only if the midfield improves and start holding to the ball longer.
The funny thing is a pundit at soccernet.com lauded Sven's bold tactics at trying out the new 4-5-1 formation, as Sven says, the players are playing at the same position they play at club level, the formation whether it is 4-4-2, 4-5-1, or 4-4-3 wasn't the problem, that's what he said.
Lampard and Gerrard had been relatively silent. If there is a revolt, the manager should deal with it, out-of-form players should be benched.
Well managers often take the blame for this sort of thing though...it comes with the territory. If the players are not responding to him, it's easier to remove one man than the whole starting XI right? I guess Sven deserves to right the ship in the next two games against Austria and Poland. But he's presided over two international tournaments and only reached the QF in each. Most international managers last one tourney and then they're out.
It might be time for a new approach...his contract is quite ridiculous after all.
Who needs Ronaldinho when u have David Healy
eriksonn is a fuking nuisance,. he hasnt got a clue. bring in curbishly or mclaren
haha the f.a are never gonna sack sven they r gonna have to pay him the remainder of his contract if hes sacked im sure he has a 2 year contract on �4 million a year.
Sven is sitting pretty right now he either stays in his over paid job or gets sacked and get a �8million pay off.
Eriksson wont be sacked, the Fa will wait for him to resign after the world cup (or the WC play-offs if we fail to qualify).
When Sven took over it was good for the national team as he didnt carry any baggage or have any favourites like the previous managers did. The problem is he soon found them and refused to drop players when they were out of form. Beckham was the prime example of this a couple of years ago. Its the same now with Gerrard/Lampard. He wants to fit all his favourite/best players into the starting 11 but it completely unbalances the team. Rooney out on the wide left is the most criminal waste of a player ever!
like the time australia beat england 3-1
meow bitches haha
hahah i remember that when the aussie's beat the english 3-1
btw sven couldn't even coach chelsea if he was manager, even with all the great players and money.
ps. im a manchester united supporter and i say that
Well, I still say, depending on how England perform against Austria or Poland, those two games should be Sven's last chance in this period of tension. I hope (and predict) this will serve as a wakeup call in the dressing room and they'll play well in October and probably qualify.
But it still seems as if he's run out of ideas and England's performance has become worse over time, not better. Where's the fire that swept them to a 5-1 victory over Germany in 2001? There's much more talent on this current roster!
This should be a good read for you.

If it is true that the midfield trio cajoled Sven for the 4-5-1 formation, and hence Rooney in an akward position, it is a pity.
it's awfull that he use Owen over Defoe
my opinion...play the talent and not the names. the netherlands is a prime example. their new coach plays the best players at the moment, not the biggest names. they're kicking ass with the dutch league young guns and without players like seedorf, davids, kluivert, etc.
if sven would wise up, he'd start playing the best performers in games instead of stockpiling underachieving big names in the lineup.
England really sucks bigtime, They lost against Northern Ireland. It's the bloody players fault, Not this man's..

marvelous !
I think Eriksson is not the problem in this qualifying round. I think you should look at the players, because with a national team with so many superstar players the coach doesn't really carry the responsibility no more.
Anyway, we have always seen that England always get nervous in the important games, no matter which coach was doing the job (from 1990 - up to now).
I think England will make it. They should keep their nerves.
Sven is too defensive minded and doesnt have the balls to try all out attack. If we're chasing the game he'd rather make sure we prevent the other team scoring and hoping to nick a goal from somewhere instead of going for it. This type of tactic doesnt win you games.
However most of our players on the pitch dont help either. We have players who can pick the game up by the scruff of the neck but they just dont seem willing to make the effort for england.

Smitty replace him with your hero David Moyes(sp)
This happens every year right. I can remember the last 2 qualifying rounds for the Euro and WC they had a desperate match to quallify. Wasnt it Turkey in one and Greece in the other. Theres no doubt that they will qualify. The only questions I have for England are:
1. The Keeper(they all suck)
2. Cole-Terry-Rio-? that ? is full of shite players
3. Media - to me the English media are the most criticial of all. I know ppl who think that is just because they can only read english so that is all they hear but trust me. Italy and Switzerland doesn't get nearly the amount of pressure or bashing england gets in the press.
Aside from David James, who is absolutely a disaster at times, England's keeps have been decent. Robinson is definitely the #1. He had no chance on the goal by N. Ireland, made a few marvelous saves against Wales and didn't play in the 4-1 embarrassment to Denmark. (that was James)
Cole and Terry shite? Nah man. I am starting to have serious doubts about Rio back there, though he was brilliant in the 2002 WC. Agreed about the English Press. This isn't the 1920's anymore...England aren't ever going to win anything with ease.
About Moyes...never quite had the confidence in him actually. He's made some bizarre moves but I'll let the season get a bit older before I start asking him to get canned.

they become shit. To put it bluntly. It is like that with every soccer player, not just in England. They should just chill and spend more time on the pitch and, most of all, concentrate and their skill.
Great idea, fire your coach less than a year before the WC !!!!
GOGOGOGO
