Honestly! Have you heard Townsend and that half-wit commentator? If you didn't watch the game and just listened to them you'd think England were world beaters.
England barely had the ball. Scott Parker huffed and puffed, his face got redder and redder....but what does he offer? Nothing. He wants to try getting the ball and keeping it every now and then. They all do. Hodgson's DNA is all over that performance....hacking it into their half and then chasing the ball and players when it comes back over the halfway line. Poor. Very poor.
Rodgers will show us how to play proper footy in a few weeks when the boys are back training. Can't wait.
Why do I listen to the commentators?!?!?!

Here we go,more bullsh-it by the reds.I thought Parker did what he was there for, block shots and tackle.I didn't think the Liverpool players did anything special,but I don't see you having a pop at them.

I am not childish enough to turn this into a Liverpool players vs anybody elses players. However, I thought Johnson, Gerrard and Henderson when he came on were the best players on the pitch.

It was a turgid, unisoring but resolute performance we won't get beat in the group but we won't win and 3 draws will see us sent home packing after 3 games.

Totally agree about this not becoming a Liverpool players vs the rest. Gerrard and Johnson had a good game. Henderson didn't really do a lot, but he was only on for 15 minutes. The Ox looked good and had a decent touch about him. Welbeck also had a good match.

Take your blue tinted glasses off, and try to give an honest objective view. It's about England players, not players from this club, or that club.

Gerrard should not and cannot play as part of a 2 man central midfield. To get the best from Steve he needs to be cut free from the defensive responsibilities he was shackled to this evening.

I was joking about Henderson. He did OK like all of them. What irks me is people going on and on about OK standard players and banging on how good they are cos they make a block. (OK I admit it was a good block but come on). I just want a bit more from my central midfielder. That's all.

As a Liverpool fan I agree. Gerrard and one other in a two man midfield never works. More so in the fiddly, intricate, heavily packed midfields you see in these tournaments.

I thought Andy Townsend wasn't too bad, but I have to say, his co-commentator, Alan Partidge was brilliant! The best two England players on the park? Welbeck and Terry. JimmyTheRed

"As for townshend and the other guy, glad I missed the game tbh, been really cheesed off with commentators and pundits"
Is that Pete Townshend from The Who?

I am,no player stood out. Liverpool players didn't do anything special nor did anyone else. Typical boring England,we should of took one Adam Johnson,or Lennon.
