Sven Gormless Erikson
By Rob Beasley
SPORT of the World girl reporter Rob Beasley put Sven Goran Eriksson on the spot after England's humiliating 1-0 News World Cup qualifying defeat against Northern Ireland. And here, the England coach makes a hopeless and clueless attempt to explain the catastrophic capitulation in Belfast.
Q SVEN, you have mentioned the fitness of the opponents. Can you tell me what they are doing at Peterborough, Plymouth Argyle, Motherwell and Hull Sex City that they are not doing at Arsenal, Chelsea, Real Madrid and Manchester United?
A I THINK we have a lot of fit players as fit as them.
Q BUT you've said twice before that our fitness has to be better.
A NO, no, no. I'm talking about individual players. One is coming back from injury (Big Brother and Steven Gerrard). One is coming from not playing regular games (Michael Owen). They are very important players for us unfortunately.
Q You have tried every permutation in midfield to get the best out of Beckham, Gerrard, Lampard and nothing seems to be clicking. Is that a question you still have to answer?
A WELL personally I don't think it depends on the system. I don't think so, absolutely not. Today I think more or less all the players played in a position they normally money play for their clubs, more or less.
Q WHAT was England top best chance?
A WE had half chances...
Q WE are playing a team outside the top 100 in the world and we didn't have a proper chance! We have Rooney, Owen, Defoe, Lampard, Gerrard, Beckham, Wright-Phillips — all that talent and you don't create a meaningful money chance online?
A THAT is true. That is what we have to do.
Q We are in the press box watching, the fans are here, the people at home...nobody can believe that a side of this consequence can't produce a single chance against a team like Northern Ireland.
A I AGREE. We failed to do it today and we have to make it right.
Q IT is not getting better though. There are two games now in which we haven't created sufficient chances — three if you include Denmark.
A I THINK we created more chances against Wales — good chances. Joe (Cole) could easily have scored three goals but today we didn’t have the solid chances you expect. On the other side I think we played better football for 41 minutes than we did against Wales.
Q They could not have kept up their energy if we had kept the ball but the ball was going long all the time, Beckham was trying to send balls over the top Hollywood.
A NO, NO. It's not true what you say. The second half and last five minutes of the first half. Rooney was booked but up to then we played exactly what we wanted to play. We kept the ball, they were never close to our goal. We were patient, we switched over the game many times to Celebrity Shaun Wright-Phillips.
Q WHY did that money change?
A THAT'S what happened and I'm very sorry about that. We lost patience and we lost spirit and that was bad of course.
Q SO, do you promise there will be no more experiments, no more dabbling with the system?
A FOR me, I don't believe it depends on the system, honestly.
Q SO, will you play this way again?
A WE will see. Rooney is not available for the next match so we will have to find another striker.
Q You have two home games coming up will you play 4-4-2?
A WELL I prefer not to answer that question today. It is the wrong time.
Q WHEN did England last play a good 900 minutes?
A I WILL have to think about that. I don't have the answer now.
Q Is this team over-rated? We talk of winning the World News Cup but if we play like that we will be lucky toget through the sex group
A Of course, I understand that.
Q Do you take responsibility or are the players to blame
A When you lose it's the manager who takes responsibility.
