Its all Capellos fault Really I mean Rea

Lets get one thing clear from the outset, Fabio Capello is not the root of the English conundrum. To suggest he is the problem is nothing short of ridiculous. Whilst its a soothing thought to think the problem is simply the Manager, we must look beyond that and ask ourselves, are we really going to throw away one of the greatest managers of modern times on the basis that we have supposedly World Cla s Players who should be performing better? Im afraid, the problem runs deeper. It isnt something that a switch to 4-5-1 will fix and believe it or Akiem Hicks Jersey not, it isnt all Emile Heskeys fault. Not quite.Wayne Rooneys inexcusable mini-rant to the camera as he trudged off the pitch on Friday night was typical of an England player unfortunately. With the odd exception, the players are so full of self importance, they feel that they will beat teams like Algeria simply by turning up. Its an arrogance that defies belief when you consider that this so called Golden Generation would be rather embarra sed if you asked them to put their medals on the table. This team have lived through the Errikson days, where any bad performance Anthony Miller Jersey was defended to the hilt . They were also watchers-on as McClaren attempted to change our fortunes by getting his good mates Stevie and Lamps on side.The fact remains, Errikson wasnt a bad manager. FC Twente fans would also vouch for McClarens expertise as well. Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard are great club footballers, but for whatever reason have never done it on the international stage. So why do they continue to be named and selected in starting 11s?There is a real comfort zone emerging around this side, where Gerrard, Lampard and the like seem untouchable, like they have a divine right to pull on the shirt. English football wont move foward with the same old names. It will stagnate. If England bow out of this tournament then i fully expect Capello will be leaving and i fully believe the next manager will merely be the next scape goat in line for Wazza and JTs average performances.Lets look deeper, shall we? Lets make real change, as our cringe worthy Prime Minister would say. I believe everything about playing for this country seems negative right now. The players have the weight of the world on their shoulders. This shouldnt be the Khalil Mack Jersey way, and steps need to be taken to rectify that. The players are scared of making a mistake, and i really do believe that there is a psychological barrier preventing the 11 lions from making any form of progre s.If we take the Algeria debacle as an example, then the 11 players in white, purely on ability, should be simply far too good for their African counterparts. But it doesnt transpire that way and England put in a typically disappointing performance. Why do i get the feeling Wayne Rooney thinks he is doing us a favour by playing? and more importantly, why arent we beating Algeria?!Jurgen Klinsmann argued that the English put too much emphasis on the managers role and that the players should be good enough to get given a position and beat teams such as USA and Algeria with minimal instruction. I tend to agree with the Ex German bo s on this one. I see no reason why Fabio cant simply tell the players who is playing, and expect them to do the busine s. Granted, against Brazil or Spain, you need more of a managerial input. But, such is in the difference in quality between the English 11 and the Algerian side, the players should be able to simply get on with the task in hand.The barrier that prevents the current England set up playing well wont disappear. There needs to be a total overhaul, and I believe Capello is the man to oversee it. Id like to see Gerrard, Lampard, Terry, Ferdinand and Cole retire from the international scene. I realise this sounds drastic, most of them are very good footballers. But I look at them as nothing but painful reminders of the last 10 years of disappointing, pampered and lavish English football. Lets get fresh blood in the side, and lets, as a country, Damiere Byrd Jersey realise that perhaps we arent in that top 5 bracket of world cup candidates. Its a re-building job thats needed, not plodding along the same old route time and time again. With these new players will come a New England. An England full of talented young players, desperate to pull on the shirt. Lets see Stephen Warnock replacing Cashley Cole and Adam Johnson, Lee Catermole and Gary Cahill replacing the worn out and disappointing crop. Its clear that these players arent as good as their predece sors, but I believe its a small price to pay to rid the country of the failure tag that has followed us around like the stench of Steve McClarens hair gel, running down his face on that fateful Wembley night (see Wally with the Brolly)Lets put 11 English players on the pitch with fresh ideas and a fresh mentality. Let Capello instil his beliefs into the side and let pride filter into our game once again. Tough decisions need to be made, but I feel certain that these decisions will be, ultimately, beneficial for the English game. For too long now, the England team have been stale and predictable under-achievers. Lets wash our hands, say thank you and goodbye to the current stars and replace them with some fresh blood. Lets also give the team a chance to blend and gel and the Media can play its part too, by being the supportive and powerful tool they have the capability to be, rather than tearing the side down at any opportunity. Lets let Fabio work his magic, Ryan Griffin Jersey lets see something different, something fresh and something succe sful.
