Can't disagree with those ratings.

4 for young is generous.

Johnson 8? Good god. 6 at best. Sooner Richards takes his spot the better.

United's players were crap, get over it, stop taking it out on the Liverpool players, who actually performed.

Young 3
Welbeck 5

Difficult to mark Hart because he didn't have an awful lot to do, would have loved to see him save a penalty and I really like how vocal he is

posted on 25/6/12

Hart is the only one I disagree with, I'd have given him a 6. He barely had anything to do. He let in a tame Nasri effort and was woeful in the penalties, diving before the Italian's finished the run up and thus making their decisions easy.

================================

In other news, Rooney was player of the tournament

Ox showed more than Henderson in his brief appearances IMO, and Carroll and Welbeck could both easily be a 6.

I also thought Phil Jones was outstanding and Welbeck a 10. All Liverpool players were crap, of course.

Actually performed? They were abysmal as well. Johnsons a cart horse and there's a reason he plays for a mod table club and no one better. Nothing to do
With club rivalry otherwise i wouldn't want a city player taking his place, he is just crap.

Scouse penalty takers > other penalty takers

"I also thought Phil Jones was outstanding and Welbeck a 10. All Liverpool players were crap, of course".

Chris Smalling played a blinder as well.

I reckon Pirlo must have a bit of scouse in him as well - that penalty

The United players were crap, get over it.

Liverpool players (in the Euro's)>>>>>>United players.

Yes they were. But at least there good for utd. Yours are bad wherever they play.

You're just blind to them being good. Gerrard England's best player. Johnson England's third best player behind Terry, in the Euro's. Carroll was also good in his limited time.

ABU! No sorry ABL! That's how to cry isn't it? Do teach me.

Was that just to re-inforce your point about club rivalries not coming into it?

Ashley Young
0 goals
0 assists
Zero defensive cover
Zero impact
Off target penalty

How do you rate that on a 1-10?

Yet he played every single match!

posted on 25/6/12

Glen johnsons tackle to force extra time was nothing short of brilliant.

Anyone forgot Ashley young allowing swedens players to run off him for a free kick they scored from?

posted on 25/6/12

We all know that Ashley Young only looks good when he's flying over a non existent trailing leg.

Rooney misses 2 games and loses his match fitness.

United's players, only interested if there's a fat pay cheque on offer.

posted on 25/6/12

I am not sure how you can rate some of those players that high.

Here are some stats
V France, Shot on target 1, Possesion 35%
V Sweden, Shots on Target 8, Possesion 52%
V Ukraine, Shots on target 3, Possesion 43%
V Italy, Shot on target 4, possesion 37%

When did England get so happy with mediocrity at best, any team can play dire football and make it hard to beat them, I expect more from an England team, but hey what do I know.

posted on 25/6/12

Good ratings OP, I'd possibly change Carroll down to a 6, but otherwise spot on.
