Sam Allardyce is the perfect man to galvanise and restore the confidence of the England team, according to FA technical director Dan Ashworth.
[b]Dejan Lovren Jersey[/b] . Allardyce will lead England into their qualification campaign for the 2018 World Cup in Russia on the back of a dispiriting Euro 2016 tournament, which saw Roy Hodgsons young side crash out in an embarrassing 2-1 defeat to Iceland. That defeat cost Hodgson his job and Ashworth believes Allardyce will pick the players up and help them take their club form onto the international stage. Sky Sports News HQ looks at the issues Sam Allardyce will have to address as he takes over as Englands new manager Hes brilliant at galvanising, Ashworth told Sky Sports News HQ. He will galvanise the players and the supporters. We all need picking up and leading into hopefully a successful qualifying campaign for Russia and then the tournament itself. Im sure Sam will be ideal for that.We have a lot of good, young technical players. We were the youngest squad at the Euros, we think theres a lot of growth in those players who will be better for the experience theyve just had. Hes an acute tactician and he will get the best out of the players. Five questions for Allardyce Questions facing the new England boss The sign of a good manager is they add value to teams and managers and Sam over his long and distinguished career has added value to every single one of the teams he has been in charge of.Ashworth said the FA always wanted to appoint an English manager and said Allardyce stood out because of his long-term commitment to analytics and sports science. Kevin Davies, a former player of Sam Allardyce, believes he can be a success with England We felt it was really important we explored all the English candidates, he added. We felt it was important to have an English manager in charge of the England team.We wanted to join up St Georges Park and make sure the development teams have a route through to the senior team. There is lots of innovation around sports psychology, strength and conditioning, nutrition and Sam has a track record of buying into all of those things and fully utilising them around all his teams.He also rejected accusations that Allardyces style of football would be at odds with that of Englands. There is a little bit of a misnomer about Sams style, he said. At Bolton he played some super stuff, at Sunderland with Jermain Defoe up front, hes hardly a great big target man, so hes a good coach and good coaches get the best out of players they have at their disposal.

Eller scored the midway through the third period after Dallas scored twice to tie it, leading Canadiens to a 6-4 win over the Stars on Thursday night. "It was just one of those crazy games," said Eller, who scored by putting a shot over Dallas goalie Kari Lehtonens left shoulder to the short side. "Usually we dont score a lot of goals, but the last two games it seems like the puck is going in more." Max Pacioretty added an empty-netter in the closing minutes as the Canadiens finished their longest road trip of the season at 3-2-1. On Tuesday night at Carolina, the Canadiens led 3-0 going into the third-period but lost 5-4 in overtime. "Its a big win, but Ive got to look at the road trip," Montreal coach Michel Therrien said. "We had a chance to make a good road trip, and this is exactly what we did. "This (Dallas) is a good hockey team, and they were playing well lately," he added, "so it was a good challenge for us." Pacioretty had two goals, giving him a team-high of 19, and two assists. P.K. Subban had a goal and three assists. Brendan Gallagher and David Desharnais also scored for Montreal (24-14-4). Valeri Nichushkin converted a penalty shot for Dallas. Jamie Benn, Tyler Seguin and Brenden Dillon also tallied for the Stars (20-13-7). Dallas lost in regulation for the first time in eight games, ending its longest streak of games with a point this season at 5-0-2. "I was concerned after going through the stretch we went through with a couple real emotional wins that we might get loose, and we were loose," Stars coach Lindy Ruff said. "Parts of this game, I thought we gambled on the offensive side and gave up some real good chances that we normally dont give up." Seguin, whose goal and assist gave him club highs with 21 goals and 41 points, said the Stars didnt deserve to win. "I think we got aa little complacent after having a soft few games in a row," he said.

Seguin scored at 7:42 of the third period on the power play and Dillon followed 47 seconds later to tie the score at 4. Subban called them lucky goals. "Dont get me wrong; they worked hard and they created opportunities for themselves," Subban said. "But two knuckle pucks, and theyre very deceiving or fortunate." Then Eller netted his 10th of the season at10:39 to put Montreal ahead for good. Nichushkin, taken down by Canadiens defenceman Josh Gorges near the crease, beat goalie Carey Price to his glove side on the penalty shot to tie the score at 2-2 early in the second period. Subban scored at 6:30 to put Montreal ahead. Price got his second assist of the season on the goal. Subban earlier made a backhand pass while wheeling through the left circle to set up Desharnais in the slot for a shot that beat Lehtonen, who was screened and falling in the crease, to give Montreal a 2-1 lead. Benn opened the scoring with his 14th goal of the season at 6:12 of the first period. He struck a one-timer near the right point following a cross-ice pass out of the left corner from Seguin. That extended Benns streak of consecutive games with a point to five, including goals in four. The Canadiens tied the score at the 11-minute mark of the period. Pacioretty took an outlet pass at the red line from Subban, raced in alone on the Dallas net and scored to Lehtonens glove side. NOTES: Montreal wing George Parros, sidelined since Dec. 14 with his second concussion of the season, left the team on Thursday morning and went to the University of Michigan to seek an opinion of a concussion specialist. ... Canadiens centre Daniel Briere, the 36-year-old former All-Star, was a healthy scratch for the second straight game.
