Hopefully we lose tonight, Roy gets the sack and somebody actually decent steers us to attractive, or at least convincing, performances.

I think the main issue is we've had defensive minded managers for so long, it clearly isn't the style that fits the players or what the fans want to see for the next X amount of years.

Had many reasons to hate Roy for his time at Liverpool alone...

The England squad is no where near good enough regardless of Manager. Compare it to Germany,Spain or even France in Europe. The difference is scary. What England should do is build around an attack of Sterling,Sturridge,Welbeck/Walcott and just utilise the pace that there is in the squad.
