[QUOTE="T_G, post: 696591, member: 175083"] I was a big Capello fan, I got to admit it. And I was saying before that if they won't hav a great world cup, it will be the players not the manager. But, having looked at the games and the tactics, it is a bit more complicated than just that. Capello is a great manager, but he was working mostly with players in Italy and Spain, and they are tactically better than England. I don't think Capello ever had to work with an undisciplined player such as Gerrard before. Same with other players. For the first goal, coming from a long ball, Terry and Upson were both completely out of position. On many occasions Terry was chasing the ball rather than making sure he is in the correct position on the pitch. So he should have seen that playing Gerrard on the left is useless. And there were other issues as well, most of you guys who watch a lot of football know what they are, no need to repeat them here. So theoretically he should be given a second chance. BUT, the failure was so complete, so devastating that hze has got to go, just because his name will forever be connected to this collossal failure. And that goes for most of that squad other than maybe 2 or three of the young players such as Rooney, Milner and Lennon, and maybe one or two of the "older" such as Defoe and Crouch maybe. The rest should do the decen thing and announce that they retire and leave the pitch to a younger and better generation. For me, there cannot be any other conclusion, otherwise we will end up with the same situation as France with Domenech. Would Germany have kept their manager with the same result? Brazil? Italy?
