Young was awful, Gerrard was poor, Scotty looked desperate. Rooney, Walcott and Oxo in the final game please. Leave Young, Milner and Carroll out.
To be fair, Gerrard is a born-leader and just wanted to bury that and get the game over with. I was actually really impressed with him today and I don't usually rate him very highly.
Hart 6, Cole 6, Johnson 6, Lescott 6, Terry 5, Gerrard 6, Parker 7(for effort), Milner 5, Young 4, Welbeck7, Carroll 7. Walcott 8, Oxo 6.
Gerrard was pretty much the only creative outlet until Theo came on. He was atleast trying to make things happen. He assisted for the opening goal and he drove forward a number of times to take pressure off of the defence. I think he did quite well. Milner and Young should be getting the negative reviews.
Why would I pray for England when I don't care about who wins or advances in the Euros. He wasn't poor but he wasn't impressive either.
Happy for Walcott. The guy has taken so much stick when playing for England and he never let that get him down. Changed the game and put Sweden on the back foot straight away.
Even though Carroll scored a great goal (can't take that away from him), I do feel that his cumbersome nature held up our attacks. He has a way of getting in the way, which can sometimes work for him and other times, he looks like a pile of flailing limbs.
