Hargreaves rallies troops
-
Owen Hargreaves has issued a rallying call, saying it is imperative England produce a good performance against Andorra on Wednesday.
Morale is low in the England camp following the 0-0 draw with Israel on Saturday, while reports suggest manager Steve McClaren was involved in an angry exchange with striker Wayne Rooney.
The result leaves England five points adrift of Group E leaders Croatia, but they have a chance to atone against Andorra.
The Andorrans are the group whipping boys and Bayern Munich midfielder Hargreaves is looking for England to turn on the style in Barcelona.
"Everyone is frustrated and questions are going to be asked, but we need to go out on Wednesday and put in a performance and win as comfortably as possible and then we will have a big break before a couple of games at Wembley," Hargreaves told Sky Sports News.
Reflecting on the draw in Israel, Hargreaves noted: "It is disappointing we did not get the result we expected.
"The first ten minutes Israel looked quite strong and came at us, but after that we controlled the game and could not put away the chances we had and it is disappointing and frustrating we could not score a goal.
"We expected more today and expected to win the game and we didn't. We prepared well and could have won the game but didn't." -
