"A lot of people have voiced opinions about Eddie recently and I can honestly say he's the best England coach - along with his other coaches - that I've ever worked with, hands down," the 33-year-old told Sky Sports.
"I wish I had him and his coaching staff earlier on in my career because I'm confident we would have had more success than we did.
"His passion for his job and the way he approaches things is second to none."
LOL
