Jamie Carragher believes it will only be a matter of time before Steven Gerrard enters management, despite revealing the former Liverpool captain has turned down the chance to take over at Milton Keynes Dons. Gerrard emerged as a shock contender to succeed Karl Robinson at the Sky Bet League One club after announcing his departure from MLS side LA Galaxy last week.Carragher struck up a close friendship with Gerrard during their years together at Liverpool and suggested the 36-year-old may have taken the role if the offer had come six months down the line. I just dont think he fancies it. Hes only just got back, he was in the States and his family didnt go over there fully, so I think it would be a big move to then move down to Milton Keynes, Carragher told Monday Night Football during a Twitter Q&A. It maybe came a bit too early, if it was six months or 12 months down the line then maybe there would have been a good chance of it happening.I dont think he is fully ready, hes still got to get coaching badges, thats not to say he couldnt do the job, but I think he maybe wants to get more experience.

I think if he would have taken the job it would have been a good decision in terms of the club.Sir Alex Ferguson always said dont pick your club, pick your chairman and I think that chairman (Pete Winkelman) gave Karl Robinson plenty of time, a good five or six years.He gave Roberto Di Matteo and Paul Ince a chance and their first jobs in football. He certainly seems a chairman that gives a young manager a job, so I think it may have been more the chairman than the club that would have enticed him to go there.Hes turned that down now, but the fact that he has spoken to a club means more clubs will be showing an interest and I think it will only be a matter of time.Upgrade to Sky Sports now and get 12 months half price.

LONDON -- Demonstrating their efficient transformation under Antonio Conte, Chelseas players reeled off an 11th successive victory in a Premier League season for the first time Saturday.Diego Costas header secured a 1-0 win at struggling Crystal Palace, sending the leaders nine points clear of Liverpool and Arsenal.It came on the first anniversary of Jose Mourinho being fired with the west London club a point above the relegation zone. Apparent harmony in the dressing room has replaced the palpable discord with the players which triggered Mourinhos exit.Although the wins are racking up, Chelsea might soon pay for its inability to kill off games with the Palace success completing a hat trick of 1-0 victories.The defense, though, is watertight under Conte, keeping nine clean sheets in the winning run that started after a 3-0 humbling at Arsenal and the switch to a three-man defense.The manager must be a tailor and try and find the right fit for the team, said Conte, the former Italy and Juventus coach. For sure, for me, it wasnt easy to arrive and understand very quickly the characteristics of my players. I needed a bit of time.I tried a different solution before changing the formation, but I think the most important thing is the mentality, our strong mentality. Also hard work during the week -- tactical work, physical work, analysis.With mist descending on the Selhurst Park field, the only goal in the lunchtime kickoff came from Chelseas first attempt on target in the 43rd minute.Costa rose above Scott Dann to meet Cessar Azpilicuetas cross and net his 13th goal of the season.dddddddddddd. The Spain forward has eclipsed last seasons haul for Chelsea before the halfway point has been reached.If wed arrived here today without the right concentration and focus, the will to fight and go into battle with your opponents, wed have lost this game for sure, Conte said. Instead, we have great quality but the players are putting that quality into the team.Chelsea, though, will have to cope without Costa at home to Bournemouth on Dec. 26. Chelseas top-scorer picked up a fifth booking of the season for a tackle on Joe Ledley before scoring.Midfielder NGolo Kante, who also accumulated five yellow cards with his second-half caution, also has two weeks off before the New Years Eve game against Stoke.Palace manager Alan Pardew might also have an enforced break -- unless results improve. Chelsea condemned Palace to an eighth loss in 10 games to leave the south London club three points above the relegation zone.Chelsea are very sound defensively and didnt really give us any chance to get at them as much as wed have liked, Pardew said. They were confident in their defending, (with) good shape and discipline to their actions, and did enough offensively to edge it.Chelsea equaled the 2009 teams 11-match winning run set across two seasons in 2009.Arsenals 14-match winning run in 2002 remains a Premier League record -- for now.
