Neville: Long way to goEngland defender Phillip Neville has backed under fire England manager Steve McClaren following the disappointing 0-0 draw against Israel on the weekend.
"There should be no pressure at all on Steve McClaren as it is the players out there," said the Everton star.
"It is disappointing when you hear the fans chanting and some of the things they chanted, but the players take full responsibility.
"We are the ones out there and he could not have prepared us any better, he probably could not have picked a better team."
He added: "There is still a long way to go and you don't qualify at this early stage of the campaign.
"We always tend to leave ourselves a bit of an uphill task, it goes with the history of this country.
"There are some big games to come and if we win our home games and pick up some points away from home we will qualify."
