Lampard reveals Eriksson error

30 juli 2006, 09:50

Frank Lampard believes Sven-Goran Eriksson made a mistake in not taking Jermain Defoe to the World Cup.

The Swede attracted considerable flak before his final tournament as England manager for only selecting four strikers, and Lampard said: "Questions had been asked about why we didn't have five strikers in the squad when two of our forwards went into the tournament trying to recover fitness.

"Personally, I'd have included Jermain as well. I played with him at West Ham and he is a natural goalscorer. In terms of the line-ups for each match, I don't think they would have been affected. I'd have preferred some insurance though, and it would have given us more options. In that respect I would have taken Defoe."
