It was Sven Goran Eriksson's fault that Beckham lost two yards of pace and became nothing more than a glorified corner taker. It was the manager's job that Lampard couldn't hit a cow's backside with a banjo. It was, amazingly, all down to Sven that Rooney stamped on Carvalho's nuts and got himself sent off. He was 'frustrated' at the coach's tactics, his apologists claimed.
Yes - it was Eriksson's fault. He was the one who prepared the defenisve tactics. He was the one who carried on picking Lampard when he couldn't hit a cow's backside with a banjo rather than our best player that tournament (Hargreaves) in his position. It was SGE who kept on picking Beckham without his two yards when we had a young right winger who was terrorizing defences when he got a chance. It was SGE who completely nullified Rooney with horrible tactics and insisted on not selecting adequate cover for injured players.
