Desigol Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 He actualy used a formation which got the best out of Gerrard and Lampard. Though The Unmentionable one's presence as Holding Midfielder allowed Lampard and Gerrard to go foward guilt-free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSG Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 El Tel is definitely the best English coach around. He's been there and done it, and not just in England either. I for one was disappointed when he was replaced as England manager. It's good to see him back and he would definitely have had a lot of input with Steve McLaren for the game on Wednesday night. Having said all that, I'm not sure Canada would ever have been able to tempt him as manager simply because he has said he will never work in a full-time role again. He turned down Middlesbrough during the summer and is only part-time with England. He also doesn't come cheap. Would the CSA ever really have considered paying a lot of money for a part-time manager who wouldn't be based in Canada anyway (a la Tel's time with Australia)? It would've been interesting to see anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
