England versus Slovenia

He probably feels that Capello never should have stripped him of the Captaincy in the first place. Gerrard looks absolutely lost as Captain in my opinion.

I think I would make quite a few changes to side after the last game. There are some, like Lampard, who deserve no more chances. Lennon has looked lost, SWP is a trier but he lacks quality.

So where do we go from here? Italia 90. We go three at the back. Two attacking wing backs 3 in centre midfield and two up front.

James in goal.

Back three of Dawson, Upson, and Terry

Wing backs Ashley Cole, and Glenn Johnson

Midfield trio of Barry, Milner (or Carrick) and Gerrard in an slightly freer role

Up front 2 from Rooney, Crouch and Defoe. Rooney if you wanted a slightly withdrawn second striker.

Something like that or a vastly changed 4-4-2. Dawson and Terry at centre half, Rooney on the left wing, Milner on the right, Barry and Gerrard in midfield with Crouch and Defoe up front.

According to Kim Jong-Il the wonderful Republic of north Korea thrashed the terrible capitalist Portugal 7-0 on the way to winning the world cup.

I can't put it any better than that! He'll probably think he'll be picked to take a penalty when the pressure is on

John Terry did not want to miss out playing in the world cup and for that reason alone never said very much when he lost the captaincy due to what he got up to. I would expect he may well have felt he should not have had the captaincy taken off him as it was only related to his own personal life, but if he felt that he would have been wrong as not only did his actions cost the team a players who I’m sure Capello would have taken to the world cup, he also would have lost respect from some the other players.

I also expect he may well be thinking if he had been the captain for the first two games, we would not need to win the third game to stay in the world cup. I believe he got together a few other players who were also going to speak out at the meeting that took place, only he found in the end he was standing alone.

He was so wrong to say what he did to the press, if it was not for the fact we can’t afford not to play him due to having no other real option at the back, I’m sure he would not be picked for Wednesdays game. I bet Paul Buckle would have not even put a player on the bench let alone start him, if he had gone to the press like John Terry did.

If Capello is still the England manager when OUR world cup is over, I would expect he won’t be ever picking Terry again, I say if as I heard on the radio today that the FA expect Capello to resign form the job if we don’t make it to the next stage.

It was not made clear if that is what Capello would do himself, or if that was the wish of the FA, but Wednesday could be the very last game Capello was in charge.

I listened to the interview he gave today and sorry while he may be a good coach, I still feel the job requires an English man to do it and I we could all name one or two who really would be able to give that halftime team talk that really would see the players giving far more than we have seen in the first two games so far.

I'm sorry, you're way off the mark again over Capello.................monitor England's performances in qualifying and he must have given loads of "sort it out" half time talks.

However good a record your England manager had as a club manager, he will always have to go to his first ever European or World Championship tournament and he will always learn more about his players there than he ever knew before. Those that he thought he could rely on might prove unreliable, those that he maybe harboured some reservations over might emerge as nailed on certainties for the next tournament.

To expect Dom Fabio "to resign" if the players let him down is ludicrous and indicative of the short sighted and introverted nature of our football media and public at large.

Who is the English manager who is the most successfull * anyway, and does he have any regular top European club management experience, does he have any experience of international management; has he ever managed a country through a major global tournament? The answer to those last three questions is NO, NO; and NO again!

If we in this country want an England team that will more readily gell during an international tournament, then the FA need to appoint their next manager from one of those who has already done so with either one or two other nations..................whether he be French, Dutch, German or whatever. Theb experience he brings to the job is the number one quality and the nationality of the best candidate is irrelevant.

Me? I'm perfectly happy with Fabio Capello.....................they don't come any better than him, and after this World Cup he will have one under his belt so to speak. and if you think that John Terry has difficulty understanding Italian Capello's English, then ask yourself the nationalities of his last 5 Chelsea managers!

* Mind you, Roy Hodgson has the best CV of all the English managers and he has managed Switzerland. The players would understand his English, but whether he would comprehend some of their unprofessionalism is another question!

Merse the real test of how good he is as the manager of the England team comes on Wednesday, just as I said we would see how good a manager Paul Buckle was when the chips were down and results had to be turned around if we were to say in league two, I’m saying now for Capello its about him getting a better performance out of the players, getting the tactics and substitutions spot on and yes the right result.

If we win on Wednesday then everyone will be happy, if we lose you know his head will be called for as at the end of the day its not just how well we may have qualified, its all about how well we do in the world cup itself.

So you believe that Terry thought he could trust his mates not to let him down, but they stabbed him in the back?

That would be awful, wouldn't it?
