[b]England manager Steve McClaren has written to England
fans in a bid to get them to lay off Chelsea midfielder Frank
Lampard.
McClaren is unhappy supporters booed Lampard during the 1-1
friendly draw with Brazil at Wembley earlier this month.
In his annual report to englandfans, he wrote: "Unfortunately, one
point I should raise is that we were all disappointed to hear Frank
Lampard being booed at Wembley against Brazil.
"Frank is a tremendous player and he didn't deserve that
reaction."
Despite being the target of criticism himself from fans during the
European Championship qualifier against Andorra in Barcelona,
McClaren has still praised the England fans.
He added: "In Tallinn, for the game against Estonia, our supporters
were brilliant.
"No matter where we play, we seem to have the largest travelling
support and this can genuinely be a 12th man for us."[/b]
McClaren has proven to be a joke in his England Management
days.
The recall of Beckham has shown his gullibility.
He has shown that he dare not touch the big names even when they
are not performing, but chopping the names of those who are.
The last win for England in the qualifiers, was done WITHOUT
Lampard,
who mysteriously, turned out for Chelsea in the next EPL
game..
When Rooney wasn't performing, he should have given other players a
chance to perform, like Defoe, Bent or etc. Instead he chose to put
his eggs on MOwen.
He is surely on his way out..
