FOOTBALL: England - get some stability in the line up!
Having watched the Spain Vs England friendly last night (quite rightly won by Spain) it seems obvious to all but McClaren that there needs to be some stability in the squad. McClaren should decide on a formation (4 4 2 would be favourite but whatever), pick a core of 15-16 players and get them playing together consistently. Instead, every time we have a game there is a different formation, team, result. How does he hope to build any consistency and confidence in the players by this continual intervention and tweaking? You don't need a team of superstars. You just need a team; structured, cohesive and committed. To build such a team you must do exactly that. Choose the components that make up that team and then build it; structurally, emotionally and physically. I'm not surprised the players look lost, they probably have no sense of what the heart of this 'team' is, nor what it aims to be or how it hopes to achieve it. Injuries of key players aside, if McCLaren has a serious plan for this team, it's time he started to execute it and get some player confidence back in the squad and some wins under their belts.
