Kits has a pop at Lampard

[wehateoxford]

everything i've seen from kits and lita (the most vocal two, sidwell aside) has sounded like they're starving. cant wait

[Peter Kay - Top of the To]

I just wish Kits would get of the fence

[Forbury Lion]

Top man Mr Kitson.

Im so pleased that people are finally starting to realise what a smug, self-obsessed twat Lampard is.

Ive never known anybody get so wrapped up in their own hype.

David Beckham, well maybe not anymore.

[MikeG]

Well with the sudden influx of England players autobiographies coming out we've seen excuse after excuse about their World Cup shambles. Good to see Kitson cut the crap, the players should take responsibility for their own poor performance and move on.

and lets not forget Gerrard slating Sven too and his nightmare of a WC.

Who's nightmare? Sven's or 2 goal (1/3rd of all our goals) Gerrard's?

You aren't suggesting that Gerrard played as badly as Lampard are you??



Leaving aside club loyalties, that is simply wrong.

[wehateoxford]

i also felt to a degree that gerrard was ar per usual held back by lampard who's all attack attack attack and wont cover when gerrard makes runs. also, you can't blame coaching on the fact that YOU missed 20+ shots

im all for a hargreaves/lampard CM in the qualifiers

EXCLUSIVE Prem star's amazing blast at 'money grabbing, self obsessed' Frank
By Scott Piecha

FRANK LAMPARD was last night labelled a coward by a fellow Premiership player for cashing in on England's World Cup failure.

Dave Kitson, a newcomer to the Premiership with Reading, has blasted the Chelsea midfielder for criticising the England setup in his autobiography Totally Frank.

Outspoken striker Kitson claims Lampard should take a share of the blame for England's dismal showing in Germany.

Kitson, a former supermarket shelf-stacker who watched the tournament while on holiday, said: "Why say things after the event when you were part of the problem and when you are just as culpable as the manager? It is disgusting. Does Frank want to tell his story or does he want to make money? It is cowardly - he was not brave enough to stand up at the time and admit we were going wrong.

"That is the self-obsessed world football has become."

Kitson, 26, makes his top-flight debut against Middlesbrough next weekend and will square up to Lampard when Chelsea visit Reading on October 14.

The flame-haired ex-Cambridge United star has also blasted FA officials for allowing former England boss Sven Goran Eriksson to pocket more than £20million despite five failed years in charge.

Kitson, who scored 22 goals for Readin glast season, added: "There are a few people at the FA who should be struck off. Eriksson has walked away with the best part of £25m and for what?

"Most of the FA board were managed by a man who is now in charge of running the Post Office and know nothing about football.

Until we get people in charge with a genuine background in the game, England fans will go on hurting.

"Our manager Steve Coppell has more knowledge of football than anyone I have ever met and he is the type of person the FA should be looking to for help."

Well Said Dave Kitson!

Gerrard had a nightmare too as did most of the England squad. Gerrard has come out and criticised Sven's decisions too, yet it is only Lampard that is taking the flack.

To be fair, If Kits said what he'd said before Sunday then he would have missed the first installment of NOTW's serialisation of Gerrard's book.

PS. Can we try and keep the Burbs' 'Liverpool/Chelsea/Man Utd are the best' clashes on General Football please.

Gerrard also slagged Ronaldo off for being a disgrace, when Rooney openly admitted trying to get Ronaldo booked in the first half Not the sharpest tool in the box is Stevie Gerrard.

Thats ok for Stevie G to do it though, he plays for Liverpool. If he were a Man Utd or Chelsea player I think more would be made of it by the members of this board.

i also felt to a degree that gerrard was ar per usual held back by lampard who's all attack attack attack and wont cover when gerrard makes runs. also, you can't blame coaching on the fact that YOU missed 20+ shots

Are you stupid?

The games we played with a holding midfielder Gerrard did nothing in so how did Lampard hold him back?

Because they're too simular and they crowd each others space. Give Stevie G a chance to influence games like he does for Liverpool. In the big games where the best players need to stand up and be counted Lampard never performs, for England or for Chelsea in Europe.

[alad]

Against Equador and Portugal, Gerrard was given his desired attacking midfield role, as Carrick, and then Hargreaves playing behind him and Lampard. He did nothing, and was in fact more effective in the earlier games when we didn't play the holding midfielder.

It's not that they crowd each other, because theres a lot of room in the middle, I personally feel Beckham was to blame as he crept in from the right and you had three players trying to play there. Play Lennon or someone who hugs the line on the right wing and theres room for Gerrard and Lampard in the middle.

Beckham did cause problems, as did Cole who's not naturally a winger. But Lampard and Gerrard togeather never play well because one of them always ends up compromising their preffered role.

[Jaques Francais]

Anyone know who in the Reading FC set up has written an autobiography?
Perhaps we'll see one of our players write something at the end of the season. I wonder what Kits would call his autobiography and how long it took Lampard to come up with his "Totally Frank".

Kit's would be "Ginger Nut".

Liverpools big games! Biggest game for them last season was against West Ham in the FA Cup final which he did well in, but the opposition wasn't exactly top drawer and Benfica in the CL where he was very quiet.

Well WH did get to the final. They're not that bad. Add to that the games against Olympiakos and AC Milan a couple of years ago.

Those CL games were a couple of seasons ago now. Everyone is judging Frank by his current form so they surely can't count. He influenced the Cup final against an average West Ham side then.
