Yes perhaps so. I think he has problems in his head...Mclaren i mean. I think England needs a manager like Mourinho to control the superstars and turn them into a team.

Israel 0-0 England: Bore draw
Disgruntled England fans turned on coach Steve McClaren as their Euro 2008 qualification hopes took another downturn.
A 4,000-strong travelling army chanted 'What a load of rubbish' and 'You don't know what you're doing' as England drew their fourth blank in five games against a determined, but limited Israel outfit.
Taken in isolation, a draw in the Ramat Gan Stadium, where the hosts have lost just once in seven years, is no disaster.
But, given England's superiority, it was a definite chance missed and coming on the back of the disastrous October double-header during which they dropped two points at home to Macedonia before losing in Croatia, has raised major question marks over McClaren's ability to take them to next year's Finals in Austria and Switzerland.
Certainly, the patience of the paying public is wearing exceptionally thin, with support in some quarters disappearing altogether as England stumble on to Barcelona and a meaningless meeting with Group E minnows Andorra.
There was precious little evidence of the 'stand and deliver' rallying cry McClaren used to send his team into battle and, with seven games of the campaign still remaining, England can barely afford another slip if they are not to miss their first major tournament since the 1994 World Cup.
Having apparently administered a few choice words to his senior players behind closed doors to accompany his bold public utterances, McClaren was presumably not expecting the hesitant start England produced.
With Phil Neville and Carragher deployed in the full-back roles as predicted, it was perhaps little wonder there was an element of uncertainty within England's rearguard.
Neville in particular looked ill at ease and the Everton skipper's nerves were not helped when Rio Ferdinand sold him short with a square ball that allowed Toto Tamuz to nip in and thrash a shot into the side-netting.
It was the start of an enterprising evening for the Nigerian-born teenager who, like his team, threatened outside the England box but rarely looked as though they would score once they got within sight of Paul Robinson's goal.
Tamuz was the man who got on the end of Amit Ben Shushan's cross after Carragher had been exposed down England's left. Inexplicably, given the lack of cover afforded to the Liverpool man, Tamuz was all alone in the box as he rose to meet the ball, only to glance his header narrowly wide.
Lennon might have shouldered the blame for his failure to track back, yet it would be harsh to pin too much responsibility on the Tottenham youngster given the danger his speed posed at the other end.
On three separate occasions, Lennon stormed past startled Israeli defenders. How much more damage he would have caused had he been on his favoured right side is anyone's guess but it seemed a waste to utilise his great pace so fitfully, especially as 24 hours before kick-off McClaren was emphasising how valuable it was.
Carragher too could be pleased with his efforts, as, largely, could Owen Hargreaves, an ever-present in England's three wins under McClaren but absent in their four victory-less outings since.
Unfortunately, there was only the occasional sense either Wayne Rooney or Andrew Johnson could inspire in attack and with Israel keeper Dudu Aouate looking solid, England needed someone to produce a bit of magic.
The closest they came in the goalless opening period was when Steven Gerrard spotted Frank Lampard's forward burst and slid a pass through to the Chelsea man which, for a second looked as though it would lead to a breakthrough.
Unfortunately, the ball got stuck under Lampard's feet and, with Yuval Shpungin applying pressure, the Chelsea man could only nudge it straight to the onrushing Aouate.
Having left his perch in the stand for a dug-out berth two minutes before the break, McClaren used the interval to inject a bit more life into his forwards.
Bolton's Tal Ben Haim managed to reach Neville's low cross before Johnson could pounce, then Rooney burst through, only to spoil his own industry by ignoring better-placed team-mates to blast a shot straight at an Israeli defender.
Rooney has enjoyed plenty of personal success against Ben Haim this season, scoring five times against Bolton.
But the pair came out even after engaging in a bit of afters when Aouate just beat the duo to the rebound after he had spilled Lampard's well-struck volley. Norwegian referee Tom Henning Ovrebo booked them both.
England were now dominating and after Lampard glanced Lennon's cross fractionally wide, Johnson did the same when Gerrard picked him out from the other flank.
When Carragher met Lampard's corner with a firm header that bounced off the top of the bar, McClaren must have sensed it was not going to be his night.
And Aouate's close-range block of substitute Jermaine Defoe's late effort merely confirmed it.
Macleran shu b sacked..lousy team selection... ;D ;D ;D

England ease the pressure
Joe Cole produced a sensational opener and David Beckham claimed two assists as England eased the pressure on under-fire coach Steve McClaren with a comfortable 3-0 Euro 2008 qualifying victory over Estonia.
Cole struck in the 37th minute with a sublime piece of individual skill to break the deadlock, before Beckham set up second-half goals for Peter Crouch and Michael Owen with trademark pinpoint crosses.
Beckham hobbled off midway through the second half with an ankle injury which had troubled him for most of the match, but the former captain provided a resounding reply to anybody still questioning McClaren's decision to recall him after ten months in the international wilderness.
The Real Madrid midfielder took a knock on his left ankle in the opening moments but still came close to breaking the deadlock with a tenth minute free-kick which left Watford goalkeeper Mart Poom rooted to the spot.
Anything other than a victory on the night could have virtually spelled the end of England's qualification hopes for next summer's European Championship and, at times during a frustrating opening half, a goalless stalemate had looked possible.
Crouch was next to threaten the home goal as he side-footed wide from ten yards as he latched on to an Owen knock down and tried to shape a cute shot around the keeper and inside the upright.
But a patient England did open the scoring eight minutes before the interval when Cole controlled a Crouch flick from a Wayne Bridge throw on his chest before swivelling and lashing a superb volley in off Poom's left-hand post from 15 yards.
Vladimir Voskoboinikov was beaten to a threaded through ball by the alert Paul Robinson on the stroke of half-time as the home side briefly threatened after casting off their defensive shackles.
But after Estonia decided to alter their gameplan of containment after falling behind, England took full advantage of weaker opposition after the interval and stretched their advantage without ever having to find top gear.
In the 54th minute, Beckham hit a first-time cross over the top of the last defender and Crouch guided a calm header over the advanced Poom from 15 yards to kill off the game.
Eight minutes later it was 3-0 when Beckham again delivered a pinpoint cross and Owen stabbed the ball home from close range via the outside of his boot for his first England goal in more than 12 months.
Right at the death, John Terry denied Estonia what would have been a popular goal when he cleared Tarmo Kink's shot off the goalline.
But on the night England were always in control and deservedly added three points to their meagre Group E total.

England's chances to qualify the Euro 2008 is slim after losing 1-2 to Russia.
And it will be McClaren's head if England don't qualify. Personally, McClaren doesn't have what it takes to take England there (nothing against him personally). They have to wait on the side, bitting their nails and hope Israel beat Russia (seem impossible but in football unexpected can happen).
