The Wigan Athletic midfielder reiterated that the Scottish Association should not sack the coach despite his recent poor form on the International arena.
It seems that Craig Levein has a lot of admirers amongst his players, as several of them have made their support for the coach public in the last few hours.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Darren-Fletcher-c10361, the captain, become the first one to back the tactician for a longer stay at the helm, claiming that he possessed the right abilities to turn the team into a fighting unit and all that he needed was time, which should be given by the Scottish
Football Association.
Now, James McArthur, who is currently plying his trade at the DW Stadium, has expressed his desire and claimed that he wanted the manager to stay and take the side to the World Cup despite the loss against Belgium.
A 2-0 defeat at the hands of the Red Devils means that Levein and his troops are in a must win situation and need to overcome their rivals in their next game or face an early exit from the qualifiers before the final stage.
While the trainer’s http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Job-c18684 has come under threat, the players clearly want him to stay and work his magic, which is still yet to fully blossom.
Speaking to reporters, the attacker said that was great coach and had some exciting plans for the National side, but they would only come into effect, if he was given time to implement his strategies in the team.
"I would love him to stay. I think he's a brilliant manager. He has done everything right by the players. The players think he's very good and we are just unfortunate that we've not got the results. It's down to us players, we should be getting the results.
The gaffer is putting us out there and we're not doing it - that's all I can really say about that.”
Continuing, he added that Levein had got the tactics spot on for the matches against Belgium and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Wales-c3041, but the squad had failed to perform on the pitch and were the ones responsible for the defeats.
"I feel he has set us up right in both games (against Wales and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Belgium-c2850) and we've not done it on the park. It's down to us, totally."
