Sven's Ginger brother?

He plays the England squad just like Sven did, boring and predictable football with no soul, pride or passion.

SMC's side in the last couple of England performances have been below a acceptable standard, they just want to pass the ball in midfield. Making Triangles and Angles is all well and good but you want go forward not side to side.
Last night you had Dyer doing nothing and long balls into Crouch who committed fouls. If one person was not suitable for starting a game is Crouch.
Crouch needs a another person to work with and in that respect he is costly to your formation, No good hoofing a long ball up to him, he needs to head it down to someone to get the second touch.

No one wanted to make probing runs or probing passes last night, so in my book SMC is a Sven Mk2.

I think the solution has got to be Stuart Pearce to be manager with Veneables to guide his tactics. Or go back to a foreign manager.
