http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story?id=416759&cc=3436 i just read that.
normally not much press upsets me, but if this is true McLaren has lost my confidence.
I hear everyone's call for his head cos England have been playing badly, but i gave him a chance because its England and he dropped Beckham for Lennon. But to criticise Rooney when there are far more players who deserve to be blasted, and anyway, if he's playing bad dont start him, give Defoe a shot. I hate to knock him, i really do, but Lampard should kop far more criticism before anyone should think about Rooney. From what i've seen of the Israel game Lampard had two clear cut chances that he squandered, and there was way to much long ball to Rooney, forgive me, but he is an excellent footballer but the bloke can't head for shit and he's being treated like a target man.
McLaren you're a moron, drop Lampard put Downing on the Left Lennon on the Right, play an actual left back in Gareth Barry and play Gerrard where he excels, i mean for fucks sake. Play to Rooney's strengths, through balls on the deck, use his fucken pace.
Its not Rooney's fault you can't fuckin manage a team you moron.
That said, i'm not the FA and my words don't count, but reading that article got me a bit heave hoe.
