The normal phonetic transcription that I've always seen has it _after_ th=

If you listen to a given English word with the sound, say, "late",the vow=
el in it is
actually a glide from one vowel to another: it
moves from [e] (as in German "Fehler") to [i] slightly. If you listen
carefully, you can break them apart, and start pronouncing the
two separately.
