Obviously I don't know what he's been telling them to do in training, but I've seen coaches turn teams with much less gifted players into teams that can pas, can play at a high tempo and can dominate possession.
All you need to do is tell players to work the ball more, not make hollywood passes and try and play tighter in the centre and in levels so that the ball can be passed though - the problem with the England squad is that the midfield isn't layered, so there aren't any passing triangles to play through. Also, it doesn't take a member of MENZA to realise that if you play Beckham, Gerrard, Cole and Lampard, you have no water carrier/ball retainer, and thus possession is going to get lost quickly
