SAINTS star Nathaniel Clyne took to Twitter after last night’s latest England under-21 defeat.
The right-back tweeted "I'm a broken man get me home" after England suffered a third successive European Championship group defeat, this time 1-0 to hosts Israel.
Clyne will get his wish when England fly home this morning, although he might want to keep his distance from boss Stuart Pearce, who feels let down by his players.
"I think basically if you don't turn up and work hard enough in any given tournament, you won't get any success and that was typical of today and probably the two games prior to it," said Pearce.
"I honestly don't believe I should be here answering questions on behalf of them.
"They should be here answering questions on why their performances were so poor, to be honest with you.
"I don't think it's my responsibility at this stage to answer for a performance as bad as that.
"This is the business end of the tournament and we got what we deserved. I don't think we deserved to win a game. Credit to the Israelis, they deserved to beat us."
