Israel 0 England 0: Disgruntled England fans turned on coach Steve McClaren as their Euro 2008 qualification hopes took another downturn.

A 4,000-strong travelling army chanted 'What a load of rubbish' and 'You don't know what you're doing' as England drew their fourth blank in five games against a determined, but limited Israel outfit.

Taken in isolation, a draw in the Ramat Gan Stadium, where the hosts have lost just once in seven years, is no disaster.

But, given England's superiority, it was a definite chance missed and coming on the back of the disastrous October double-header during which they dropped two points at home to Macedonia before losing in Croatia, has raised major question marks over McClaren's ability to take them to next year's Finals in Austria and Switzerland.

Certainly, the patience of the paying public is wearing exceptionally thin, with support in some quarters disappearing altogether as England stumble on to Barcelona and a meaningless meeting with Group E minnows Andorra.

There was precious little evidence of the 'stand and deliver' rallying cry McClaren used to send his team into battle and, with seven games of the campaign still remaining, England can barely afford another slip if they are not to miss their first major tournament since the 1994 World Cup.
