If Capello was still boss, there is no way we would have lost last night.

I'm not a Pearce fan. He was a great player, but he doesn't inspire me as a manager.

We looked ok in patches last night, but if he takes up to Euro's we'll be back before the post cards

In Pearceys defence he did not have much to choose from last night BUT i would have put Walcott on sooner, his confidence is sky high after the weekend thrashing of spurs

to be fair his main selling point was that he knew most of the players from under 21s he shouldnt of had many problems picking a team lol

Capello would have stuck with Terry/Cole et al and we'd have been pulverised by the Dutch. The younguns did themselves a lot of credit by not giving up and that third goal was a deflection so a bit of a fluke really.

I think he used it as a learning process for the next England set up.

We had a very inexperienced squad out there which i think was a good thing. It was a friendly after all.

The dutch only had TWO changes from the last world cup whilst we basically had 11. So i thought losing 2-3 wasn't that bad.

Gave welbeck, sturridge, smalling, Richards, Jones a good run about.

Capello was over rated and very much over paid!

Pearce would die for England. The team needs re building and i would like him to have a big part in this.

Pearce never smiles, so what!

He was and is a leader, and the over rated/over paid of todays england players would do well to follow his example.

I'd rather a manager who never smiled and won something than one free with his laughter but empty in what he delivers.

I'm not critical of team selection, as I believe the team that played last night did ok.

International tactician? Yeah, and my cocks a kipper

Capello overated??

He's one of the most decorated coaches of the modern era.

What has Stuart Pearce won?

Maybe a League Cup?

Yeah, World Class that mate

He may be a decorated manager Jack but I have problems with a man who sees no wrong in his captain shagging his teammate's missus, and then that same captain racially abusing the cousin of another teammate.

Then he had the audacity to question the FA when he complained about not being able to pick the team he wanted. Managerial success only counts for so much but it doesn't make one indispensable. He had to go

and you'll wait a long time before Stuart Pearce delivers us anything.

He was a great player yes, a leader?, no way.

There's more to being a leader than setting an example. He needs to communicate, he looked like a little boy lost last night

I agree, he looked like the new schoolkid arriving just after 9am with all the other kids already seated, but he'll soon settle into it. If Redknapp wants to stop at Spurs then let him (which precludes Mourinho taking over there and then he can fill Fergie's shoes at Man Utd a year or so from now).

In fact, now I think about it - I WANT Pearce to get the job lol.

Yes, he had to go. His time had run his course, but remember, he didn't go for football reasons.

he did exactly the right thing by blooding a few youngsters against a difficult opposition.

the problem with being england manager is damned if ya do, damned if ya dont.

everyone wants the future players in, but no one wants to lose, so we stick by the older players, and the manager gets lambasted for it.

they gave a fair account of themselves and pushed a good dutch team far, al beit couldnt really live with robben when he woke up, but by and by did well.

cut them some slack, right off the euros and we may do well next world cup, otherwise just live with the old guard.

you know, 1966 was a long time ago. Just accept the English football team is quite utterly rubbish and that you'll never realistically win anything for ages. It works well for the Scots, Welsh and Irish. We all know our teams are rubbish and as a result don't care if we lose or win.

I enjoyed our last world cup adventure.

After all it was a great success if i remember?

internal arguing/players that could not care less/no leadership.

We have world class players who never turned up while wearing the england shirt for as long as i can remember.

Time to have a clear out and re build. most of all get behind the manager. Lets hope hes english and given more than one game before the experts in the papers or on forums

start putting him down!

But I do care. I want to win every match we turn out for.

The Welsh, Scottish, and Irish, can accept being shite, but I'm not going to.

And our lives depended on us winning last night!

Why oh why do we always react with such vitriole to a defeat?

It was Only a friendly and an opportunity to see what we have available!

Under 21's won didn't they? You all forget that all the senior team have to start some where.

The same is happening in the rugby to a lesser extent where because england won a world cup every team they put out should be as good! Forget the fact that the welsh might in fact be better at this time!

Stop following all the hype from the press and give teams a chance to grow and if Gould enough be successful.

Once teams cross the game line it's upto them to perform!

To much pressure is placed at national level

Personally I think it's too soon to judge Pearce in this role. I don't care if he smiles, cartwheels or plays angry birds whilst the players on on the pitch... OK I might mind the playing angry birds bit. It's more about what he does before the kick off.

He had no time at all to have a real impact on preparation for last night.

Considering the team Holland put out, I think overall we did alright last night.... but again it's too early to say how much of that was or wasn't down to Pearce.

It does matter if we lose.

When people say it doesn't it just displays a weakness that's at the heart of what's wrong.

Self belief. I can do it. I can do it. I can do it, I can do it, I can really move from my head right down to my blue suede shoes. Isn't it? Rubettes, 1973? Marvellous.

It is only a game and England are shite at it! At least Scotland drew their match.

capellos not overated he's a unreal club manager.

they need to understand that someone who is good at managing a football club full time does not automatically mean they are a good tournamant manager!

its a completeley different style of manangement, you cant just lash out 30 million and buy a new player. you have to work with what you have and inspire them and keep them all fit and motivated to get through all the games in the tournamanent in a forgein country and get the results thats needed

they really should look at other managers who have had international success on the greatest stages of all and take one of them on, the club managers without expeirence just dont cut it as we have seen so many times now
