Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere says England coach Roy Hodgson must continue.
The Football Association insist Hodgson retains their unequivocal backing and Wilshere is adamant the 66-year-old should be allowed to carry on into the qualification campaign for Euro 2016.
"It is not the manager's fault," said the Arsenal midfielder. "The manager can pick the team but the players have to go on the pitch and do it. Everyone here respects the manager. He has got a fantastic CV and been to World Cups before.
"If anything comes out of this, it is that this manager is the one to take us forward. Even if we had won against Costa Rica, we would have been disappointed. We are going to wake up every day wondering 'what if?' but we have to get over it.
"We have got a big qualifying campaign coming up for the Euros and a big Premier League season. We will grieve in the next couple of weeks and then we will move on."
