In the aftermath of Saturday's goalless draw with Israel in Tel Aviv, McClaren has been subjected to a tidal wave of criticism. Pundits and fans are all united in suggesting it is time for him to go....
However, Steven Gerrard and John Terry have joined forces to insist England's under-performing players are 100% behind beleaguered coach Steve McClaren. While both players accept that England's recent performances have not been good enough, Stevie G and John both think that McClaren is the right man for the job.
'All the players are right behind him!' Gerrard said.
'It is us who are going there and underperforming and underachieving. It is down to myself and the other boys to stand up and turn these results around to try to take some heat off him.'
Gerrard and Terry sat together during the press conference, offering moral support to each other as well as their manager following a run of five games without a win, which has produced only one miserable goal......
If that run is not brought to an abrupt end against the part-timers from Andorra in Barcelona's Olympic Stadium tomorrow, McClaren might as well hand his resignation letter over immediately.
Terry added that such a scenario will not occur and followed Gerrard in offering his unequivocal support for the former Middlesbrough manager. 'What we have been hearing is not nice,' said the Chelsea man. 'Steve McClaren is defintely the right man for the job, 100%.
Given the woeful sequence of results, which follow on from a run of equally dismal performances at the World Cup, it is little wonder that many are questioning the ability of the players upon whom so expectation has been placed.
Will McClaren stay or go? The answer is a Big "YES TO GO" if England lose or fail to beat Andorra. If England wins, the agony will be prolonged and we will see the galaxy of stars suffered under the lousy leadership of one person.......
