If he were ever to play at the Amex I might applaud him when he was warming up on the touch line. Great English player.

 

[Sussex Nomad]

What a player, absolutely magnificent performance tonight.

He's taken a lot of unfair stick over the years for his England performances considering he has usually been played out of position but he was outstanding tonight. Captain marvel.

Absolutely agree... world class.

You'll be applauding the away fans next.

Best player on the pitch by a mile

 

[Austrian Gull]

He's been England's best player so far - disciplined and reassuring in the middle of the park.

The ball he put through for Rooney in the second-half (where Shrek miscontrolled it) was outstanding.

 

[Kumquat]

Gerrard was outstanding. Special mentions also for Lescott, Johnson and the much maligned Milner who was excellent while on too I thought.

Agree

 

[Mackenzie]

I thought Lescott was better.

 

[NickBHAFC18]

He's played quality all tournament. He's had his critics this season, but he's shown them that he is still a world class midfielder.

 

[BigGully]

Gerrard was maybe the only player to return with any credit from the last World Cup and is maybe one of the tournaments best midfielders this Euro's too.

So he should be considered a truly world class performer.

Commendable though it is, I wonder if there will be some regret that he never left Liverpool to really become that world renowned superstar that he might of if he did.

He is a God on Merseyside and his career has been fantastic, but I just wonder ....

Amazed to read in today's argus they gave mom to John Terry. I really sometimes wonder if I've just a watch a different game! I understand these are subjective but f***ing hell, surely theres hardly been an easier man of the match to pick?

To be fair, even though he is a massive prick I thought Terry had a tremendous game.

 

[Tricky Dicky]

I would say, not Gerrards marrauding best that he's shown for Liverpool over the years (those days are probably behind him), but one of his best England performances without doubt. I thought Lescott was v.good as well.

V.surprised if people gave Terry MoM, apart form the goalline clearance (a much as I dislike him, that was terrific), I remember very little else about his performance.

 

[stss30]

Terry made a couple of outstanding moves, in the first half he got a touch on a cross full stretch straight back to Joe Hart, a couple of key tackles as well. Very good defensive display.

 

[blockhseagull]

I dislike Terry as much as the next man but he did play well last night.

Gerrard was MOM for me though

Bit harsh some of the comments on Lampard, very true that Gerrard playing without him is better but I don't think Lampard would have made the starting 11 in front of Parker and I would rather have him on the bench than Henderson

That's because he defended so well he didnt have to make any last ditch heroics. it was calm, assured, terrific defending.

 

[Bold Seagull]

Gerrard was the difference no doubt.

There is reason for optimism in my book, as I actually thought much of the team were poor. Parker, Milner, Young, Cole, Rooney and Terry all had poor games. Young and Milner offered very little out wide, and Young was a liability as defensive cover. Terry was all over the place, his hooked clearance was only made because he was so far out of position he nearly cost us a goal. I also thought Ashley Cole and Glen Johnson panicked when they got the ball in tight spots, our overall ball retention, as Roy commented after was not good enough. The goal will help Rooney, but had he been on form, he could of really hurt Ukraine, which again is a positive in a way.

That said, most teams seemed to have a bad 3rd game, and surely many of those players will have a better game Sunday. Gerrard without a doubt kept that team together last night, and it was a match winning captains performance. Very excited about Sunday, and hoping we got our bad performance out of the way!

If the rumour that some loveable scouse gangsters were threatening to kneecap him if he didn't stay is true I'm guessing he's happy to be able to walk.
Don't know if it was the same gangster as rumoured in the chant: "who's that coming over your wife? Is it a gangster? Is it a gangster?"

 

[Marshy]

Gerrard and Lescott were our top performers by some way

However even I am prepared to admit Johnson had a decent game last night.......

 

[Normal Rob]

Gerrard - Awesome.
Terry - Awesome, but still a cock.
