Total agreement - but I still feel that the manager has to bear the brunt od the criticism. After all he chooses the squad, selects the team and decides the tactics.
He selected injured players, out of form players, donkeys (Heskey has not scored since February), players who play well in one formation do not necessarily play well in another format - don't ask me why, but few Premier League teams play 4-4-2, and certainly in Europe, where we are strong in all competitions the teams almost always play 4-5-1.
If you look at the consistently strong teams in the world, then the chances are that the manager is a national of that country and was an international player.
The answer - I don't know. Perhaps the manager should be chosen by a small panel of ex internationals and not the plonkers in Soho Square - perhaps they should fall on their swords first.
