All these Ungrateful players

zocoss SG

First it was Owen, then Gerrard now Lampard... These fellows got no honour at all. They are now criticizing sven for their WC exit. Its as if it was only his fault... When a team fail, its the responsibility of the whole team and not just one man.

I can't believe that this Lampard actually dare to criticize sven... Maybe he should take a good long look at himself in the mirror and ask if he played well or not during the WC! when he himself was one of the biggest under-performer for them during the WC. How can he be critical of sven when he was the manager that give him his England chance, played him all the time, even during the WC when he was playing badly too.

It must be really sad for Sven to find out someone you brought out and put your trust in can stab you in the back once you turn away. It just shows what kind of character this Lampard is... I bet he wouldn't be saying all this if Sven was still the Manager of England.

A really lousy character this Lampard have, just disgusting. How can you trust this type of people again. Mourinho better be careful or one day he get stub in the back also.

stellazio SG

zocoss SG

Count Lampard himself lucky that he was on the first eleven despite his awful showing. Tactically, Sven may have his negatives but players still have to perform their very best. Lampard did not, simple as that.

weiqimun SG

yeah, dunno what’s lampard up to, if he connects with his shots during the WC, ingerland wld have done better. fancy him taking a dig @ sven when he’s also one of the biggest culprits contributing to ingerland’s flop….

zocoss SG

Maybe he is trying for a shot to be captain also... as it has not been decided yet and since Terry & Gerrard are strong contenders, he try to speak up to get notice... But a cheap shot!

Lamps' autobiography, being serialised in the News of the World, reveals he hopes to rival John Terry and Steven Gerrard as the successor to skipper David Beckham.

He said: "I have had the privilege of captaining Chelsea on a few occasions and have enjoyed it.

"I would love to do the same for England. If I was called on I know I would do a good job.

"It's more difficult than ever to be captain of England with the kind of press scrutiny that exists at all levels.

"Everyone has an opinion about you and your life, but I know I could handle that."

Lampard, though, reacted angrily during Germany 2006 when he was slated by many for his mediocre World Cup form.

So will we see a Captain Lampar?

zocoss SG

Or a Lampar Captain for England? A Ball Carrier?

JuanRomanRiquelme SG

I think Lampard performed better overall compared to other england colleagues, despite him performing way below his standards....and also, the standards which are expected of him are very high.

Anyway, i would agree with Lampard too that sven should have brought another more experienced striker, like maybe defoe or darren bent. Especially when 2 of their strikers r already on the injury list and 1 is a not a consistent goalscorer, while the last one is a teenager.

weiqimun SG

anyway, with hindsight, lampard can say anything...so can I Wink

I didn't think he did well @ all. in fact, i can't think of any member of sven's squad doing well, except for aaron lennon as sub.

in fact, i think the best performers in the ingerland squad are the players tt didn't play....

798 SG

oh what a joke! lampard is the worst comparing to his england mates. 40 shots n none goes in, he cant even do his job as attacking midfielder comparing to gerrard who scored 2 goals fielding in a position he did not, a defensive midfield.

SGE was at fault! for choosing Lampard n letting him in the games for too long when it's a fact he had failed his form. i hope england dropped him! Evil or Very Mad

JLennon SG

All these money grabbing England players just wanna write something to sell and of cos will go all ends to make their books attention grabbing. A boring book won't sell.

I'm sure it will be Sven's turn to collate all these criticisms and respond to them under his own separate title! Laughing

By virtue of his statements in his new book, he can almost rule out the thought of being captain. Why would any manager want a captain who is capable of bad mouthing his decisions?

All players should aspire to be a Paul Scholes. Keep your head down and be professional about the game. You don't need recognition on the catwalk.

zocoss SG

Now its Terry's turn but this guy is smarter, he is not criticizing sven like Lampard instead he is doing it the other way round, by saying good things about McClaren... Talk about carrying balls (angkat bodak)... Laughing

JOHN TERRY has hailed Steve McClaren as the manager with the passion to guide England to a new era of success - and revealed he is desperate to be his new captain.

Terry is adamant McClaren was the right choice to succeed Sven Goran Eriksson, whose reign as England boss ended with the World Cup quarterfinal exit against Portugal, a defeat the defender rates as the worst moment of his career.

McClaren - who was Eriksson's No.2 - officially takes charge tomorrow and Terry believes his enthusiastic and passionate style will restore national pride.

Terry's relationship with McClaren will grow stronger than ever now he seems certain to be given the captaincy ahead of Steven Gerrard.

"The ultimate ambition for me is to become England captain. There are many players in, contention. "Hopefully with the experienced I've gained II over the last couple of years as Chelsea captain I'll give Steve McClaren ' something to think about and it will come into play. He's not spoken to me about it.

"I'm pleased my name's being touted, it's obviously a nice feeling. Fingers crossed I get it because it's the ultimate.

Looks like nowadays, to be captain you must learn how to carry balls besides playing well...

I guess Steve McClaren's nuts must be really heavy, when Lampard, Terry & Gerrard all rushing to leave it... Laughing

stellazio SG

well, at least the new england manager seems more interested and enthu when the match is being played den sven. Laughing

the Bear SG

i'm still laughing because the current one got the job by default.. no one else wanted it

CKeer SG

stevenliew SG

LoL...........who cares if they are ungrateful...........at least they are well enuff to get in england team Very Happy
You can get into national with jus a good character and no skills meh.

zocoss SG

They are saying all this just for the sake to be captain? You can put someone down, someone that had help you just for your own selfish gains then i say they have lost the respect of people even before they are made captain.

A Captain should be someone responsible and respected... unfortunately, these fellows are shameless ingrates!

new_b SG

i agree...If Lamp have the b**lls to say it during sven reign
Look at Ballack..he voice concern/irritation out during klinsmann reign..this is wht i call character ^^
just my two cents ^^

dragg SG

lampard is probably angry because he did not get a 130k-per-week contract.

Laughing
