I was praising him not criticising. He was great for us because he was direct. He slotted perfectly into our attacking style of play. ‘We will score more goals than you’ should have been and should have stayed as our motto.

I think you’re being a bit blue eyed saying he was missed by England. Shearer, Sheringham, Wright, Ferdinand, Fowler, Cole etc? Nah, good though he was for us, he wasn’t in their category.
