    Aha thx DG how naive of me,so what Gerrard needs is to be caught beating some prostitute with a knive in a crack den to be considered a worthy player.

    Oh yes and a more expensive trendy hair cut please Steve.

    Simple.

    What I find remarkable is this media idolising of Rooney, yet Ive still to see him actually produce anything, whereas Gerrards, who substuted the lacklustre Rooney not only saved a goal for England by kicking the ball off the line but then scored an excellent goal,just as he did in the last match , but nobody seems to rate him.

    It seems to me he is the best player in the whole squad but its all Rooney this Owen that Beckham this blah blah ... when none of these players really have made an impact apart from Owen who managed to injure his knee in a spectacular manner.

    Why no recognition for Gerrard when he is a far more accomplished player ???
    Yes for all the talk of lack of strikers, wasn't Lampard top scorer in qualification and now Gerard is top scorer in the WC so far. So we're not so short of goal-scorers as long as there's a decent holding player to let them go foward.
    Rooney's main value is psychological - he scares the opposition and boosts the team and I'm sure he'll score soon.
    Beckham should be replaced by Aaron Lennon.

    I have a feeling that Owen's injury may be a blessing in disguise for the team.

    I predict a bit of a reversion to a previous era's tactical thinking. Crouch up front on his own and keep pumping long balls up to him.

    On the contrary, he might tinker a bit more. Owen and Rooney up front together was a no-brainer. Now we could have any combination in the front six.

    Yes shame about Owen. Although as the commentator said, it may force Svennis to stop tinkering?

    Reasonable game last night, but we did look suspect in the 2nd half.

    Gutted for Owen but more concerned that he may not be fit for us next season.....again!!

    Tale of two halves. A draw reflected the game. Pity about Owen.

    A lose could actually be to Englands advantage since it means they play Ecuador in the next round. A win or a draw means they play Germany.
    Opposite way round, chap. Anyway I thought Hargreaves had a good game, but could have imposed himself more. Yet another problem to solve - set pieces at the back. FFS we have to get this stuttering performance right at some point.

    Afternoon...back from jollies!!

    Reckon a boring 1-0 win, goal in the 89th minute from Crouch after he's been brought on in the second half and missed a number of sitters!
