    He should at least have been made to work for it. Maybe managing the womens team or something, though with his track record with women maybe not. How did the ugly git manage to pull Ulrika and friends, it can't be his witty personality. Must be hung like a donkey or they were cheap.

    But it was Gerrard doing much of the "kick around midfield for a while, the odd one-two with defence, then punt it up to whoever can be arsed running for it". Seem to recall him doing the same for liverpool not so long ago, and maybe still does? Very strange tactic with lanky Crouch sitting it out.

    I think they just lack flair and a bit of invention and rely too much on Rooney to provide it. Same as we did when Gazza was around.

    Seemed so obvious that we needed some proper wingers to open up the 11 man defence Israel fielded. Playing one of them (Lennon) on the wrong side of the pitch was ridiculous.

    I think turniphead tailor is just ahead of McLaren at the moment as worst manager of recent times. Should have had a complete change after Ericsson just to be sure.

    Interestingly El-tel comes out on top though relatively few games. Erikson looks pretty good too.

    Dare I mention Glenn Hoddle? He has yet to be overtaken in the 'foot in mouth' Handicap hurdle

    The thing is, we have changed managers and the performances are still bad. I watched the first half on Saturday night and we were rubbish. All we seem to do is punt the ball from the back which then misses whoever is up front. We are supposed to have 2 world class midfield players in there but we seem to be trying to bypass them. I think whoever is in charge of England has to look at the team and realise that you cannot have both Gerrard and Lampard in the same side essentially playing for one spot. If we had 2 world class goal keepers, would we play both of them? Actually I think this guy might, but you know what I mean. Why not drop Lampard to the bench and introduce a bit of competition for places.
