Tottenham boss Redknapp: Capello right to go with Chelsea midfielder Lampard

Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp says England were right to go with Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard for victory over Wales.

England looked pedestrian last night.

But Redknapp told The Sun: "Frank Lampard can give you goals from midfield.

"Wales play with an anchor man in midfield so that meant at home England could be more attacking.

"Frank is a more positive player and Fabio Capello obviously went for a more attacking line-up, especially with Scott Parker on a yellow card.

"Different players work for different systems.

"Parker was great in Bulgaria on Friday evening but Capello went for a tactical switch last night."
