Alan Shearer: England haven't improved under Fabio Capello
Alan Shearer has attacked England boss Fabio Capello and claimed the Italian remains clueless about his best team and formation.[LNB]The former striker, who won 63 caps for England, spoke out after last week's friendly defeat by France.[LNB]Shearer said: 'Fabio has been here two-and-a-half years now and I'm not sure we have gone forward. [LNB] Head in hands: England were outclassed by France on Wednesday night [LNB]'If every England player was fit I'm not sure he would actually know what system he wanted to play or what team he wanted to play.[LNB]'If you look at before we went into the World Cup our qualifying campaign was a huge success but it seems that we have gone slightly backwards from that. [LNB]Under fire: England boss Capello [LNB]'I'm not sure what system we'd play or what XI we would play if everyone was fit. I don't know if the manager would either.'[LNB] Shearer, who won 63 caps for his country, believes England's fans have to be more realistic in their expectation levels. [LNB]He told BBC Radio 5 Live's Sportsweek programme: 'The problem lies with the kids coming through. How are they taught? What are they taught? [LNB]'That is where you have to start from and it will take a long time. Unfortunately in this country we don't have patience.[LNB]'We always put so much pressure on our players that we go into every tournament wanting and expecting to win the tournament. Is that fair? I'm not sure it is.'[LNB] Shearer, however, believes Newcastle's Andy Carroll, who made his England debut against France at Wembley on Wednesday, is here to stay. [LNB]He said: 'I've been hugely impressed with the way he has been on the football pitch. I know he has had one or two problems off it but he's young. 'We have got to give the guy a chance. On the pitch he has been a huge success.[LNB]'He has scored goals, the future is very bright for him. He's big, he's strong, he's horrible to play against and if he could control his lifestyle he could be a regular for a long time.'
