They Are Hardly Going To Slag Off The Manager - Are They?

Gareth Barry and Jack Wilshere are the latest players to back England boss Fabio Capello following mounting criticism. And even though Capello, himself, has admitted his "many mistakes" ... it would be rather unique to see a current England international say: "you know what, I think he's clueless!" It's when Capello GETS THE BOOT that the knives will come out. Barry and Wilshere both started in Tuesday night's 1-1 friendly draw with Ghana, the build-up to which saw Capello's commitment to his job and decision-making come under renewed fire. As well as attacking his modest grasp of the English language, critics laid into the Italian's decision to release five key players ahead of yesterday's game at Wembley. But Barry, who benefited from the withdrawals by being handed a recall and the captaincy, said: "The communication between the manager and players has always been good, has always been there. "You can read things that are pretty negative but the important thing is the manager is getting his points across on the pitch." Wilshere added: "Before the World Cup he couldn't do wrong, and since the World Cup everyone has been getting onto his back. "I think we need to give him a break. He is a great manager."
