How do you solve a problem like McClaren?

I have a couple of questions after yesterday's horrendous performance by Engerland.

  1. Why the HELL did he start Gerrard and Fat Frank? sub question: Why the hell didn't Barton play besides either Fat Frank or Gerro?
  2. Crouch?? While I understand that there were a shit load of hurt strikers, couldn't he have paired Crouch with *ahem* DeFoe from earlier in the match
  3. Ben Foster, Paul Robinson, what? Robinson has had a shit year and Foster is currently on loan to the championship bound Watford. I'm going to echo the rest of the world by saying that David James is having the form of his life, and while he's old and the Calamity James moniker is not undeserved, he should have been first keeper. Hell, I'd say Nicky Weaver is doing well enough to be 2nd or 3rd, but he's hurt right now


I'm really disappointed-but not surprised. I'm wondering why it was such a big deal to have an English Manager anyway. When was the last English Manager to win a top flight league?

Answers on a postcard please
