I think the FA were wrong to let him take us to this tournament, once it was known he was going he should have gone there and then.

Well said Accymad,Steve McLaren should have took over straight away.I think he only played the 4-5-1 system to accommodate David Beckham.Who I don't blame for our demise but I thought was only a patch of his usual self.The main 3 players who I think can still hold thier heads high are Ashley Cole,Joe Cole and the boy himself Wayne Rooney.The later playing well through a stupid system to the best of his ability,which itself must have been highly frustrating.Like you Accymad I believe the sole blame lies with Sven.....
