6. did nothing wrong and used the ball reasonably well when he had it, but wasn't involved enough to get a higher rating.

5.5 he didn't get involved enough. Didn't seem to want to (or wasn't allowed to) do his box-to-box thing - seemed to walk around holding his position a lot.
Suppose these things happen when you've got to play to 2 established internations way of playing.
Gerrard was supposedly doing that, I think Henderson was told to sit in a more defensive role.
By the way, did anyone else notice the crap passes he got from Carroll? Not saying it was deliberate, just shit.

4 Disappointing
Not helped by more experienced team mates but centre midfield is a key position and on the night he didn't fit the bill. Looked leggy and without his usual zip, not marking tight enough and finding himself on the wrong side.
On the plus side the experience will benefit him and have added to his development.
5/6, Did his job but was often left wondering what his job was when others weren't doing theres.
And often looked wondering why as an attacking midfielder he was put in to do a holding midfieders role.
Between a 5 and a 6. In the first half he did hide a bit but then the gap between him and anyone else infront of him was about 1/2 a pitch length. Gerrard never dropped deep enough to look for a ball from him and most of the french pressure came down the left.
In the second half he looked more comfortable but the only way he'd get a pass from Gerrard was if he was standing 40 yards away who almost every time looked for a glory ball from deep rather than a short ball through the middle.
His best preiod was when Gerrard went off and it looked like he was given a bit more license to play his usual game. His passing seemed to be quicker and more incisive and he looked to make openings for people.
All in all he was steady and shouldn't be to disappointed given some of the shambles around him.

Backed off them into space instead of taking an advancing step to harry and get touch tight. Invariably three yards off the Frogs throughout.
Probably about right. Seemed to be out of his depth on big parts of the game although he is yooung enough to gain more confidence and experience at this levelSimple question. I'll go 5.
