Was a joke the whole game when i think back about it.

A cant really remember a tackle the whole game, no real closing down and Gareth Barry turned invisible when Henderson needed a hand from a seasoned fellow england player.

Oh and them f***ing newspapers slating the new lads this morning total disgrace

he is a disgrace, can't get near anyone, doesn't tackle, when in possesion if it isn't a very easy ball he gives it away and trys to get rid of the ball anywhere he can when under pressure. How he is still playing for England is beyond me.

Probably why Cappello is blooding younger alternatives
 
Doesnt mean much tbh, Barry was shite but still managed 31 passes and he only played half the match, Henderson 19 more in the whole match...most of which were 5/10 yards and going backwards. Not getting at Henderson, just these stats are pretty pointless in some cases.
 
those stats are meaningless

Anyone who watched the game does not need stats to tell him that England's midfield was woeful

If the stats are so pointless how come they are so popular amoung managers?

Its easy to miss someones involvement in the game, Henderson particularly on Tuesday. He was playing one touch football and moving it on. If the stats show he had a lot of touches and completed passes, it shows he was doing a large part of his job.
 
Milner does not impress me for England, he is a good up and downer, works hard and is strong. He has no guile or craft.

This. Another in a long line of young players who havent improved at all from their early year form. Still keeps his head down and only very rarely does anything special. Great to have for energy and graft and he cannot be faulted for that, but little end product.
