My ratings - Hart - 6 Johnson - 7 Terry - 7 Lescott - 7 Cole - 5 Milner - 4 Gerrard - 8 Parker - 6 Young - 5 Welbeck - 6.5 Rooney - 6 Ox - 6 Walcott - 6 Carroll - 6
Here is my verdict on the match today: Hart - 8 (Best England Keeper since Seaman). Johnson - 6 (Did an Ok job going forward; his defensive positioning was questionable at times ,but it didn't cost us as they targeted Cole for some reason :S ) Terry - 7 (Our best defender today for obvious reasons; very solid too. Got frustrated with him at the start of the game though) Lescott - 6 (not happy with his backwards passing and looked flakey at the start. But ended solidly) Cole - 5.5 (not his best game, but did some vital defensive blocks) Milner - 4.5 (shocker) Gerrard - 6.5 (Passed the ball fantastically, still debatable if he can do his defensive duty though; sometimes switched off today) Parker - 6 (Charged at everything late on; however did not press at the start... Note: he was our best player in the last 10 minutes though) Young - 4.5 (Shocker, had one good attack though) Welbeck - 5 (He went missing and lost the ball A LOT sorry). Rooney - 5.5 (a bit rusty, missed and ended a few of our attacks, scored a tap in though which was harder than it looked) Ox - 6 (came on late but set up a few attacks) Walcott - 5.5 (Bit harsh as he came on late, But we didn't see much of him) Carroll - 6 (Won the ball in the air, gave us another dimension late on) Man of the match: Joe Hart Biggest Flop: Ashley Young (Really wanted to see more out of him)
http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/news/england-v-ukraine-player-ratings-195123679.html FIVE! Fookin' FIVE again! Do these people get Stevie Wonder to do these ratings?
My ratings - Hart - 6 Johnson - 7 Terry - 8 Lescott - 7 Cole - 7 Milner - 4 Gerrard - 11 Parker - 6 Young - 8 Welbeck - 5 Rooney - 7 Ox - 6 Walcott - 6 Carroll - 6
Rooney(apart from an easy headed goal)was piss poor and not worth a 7,Hart should be higher than a 6 due to a couple of fine saves that kept England's hopes alive. And the official on the England goal line was deffo man of the match for England,without him it would have been a draw and Spain in the next round.
I gave Young a 1 and he only got that for his one decent cross first half. Agree with Gerrard getting 11 though a captains display if ever there was one
my ratings are 0/10 for all cos when they meet italy they will play a decent side, not a great side and the ture picutre will emerge. England drew after scoring agaisnt the run of play v france and france had benzema playing elft full he was so bloody deep. sweden are muck and ukraine just poor. DOn't get carried away til they perform v italy. with due repsect the germany, holland portugal group was like a cl group... england just qualified from a euopa standard group so lets see what they do.... avoiding spain is a huge piece of luck as france just didn't bother at all.
True, but what a goal by that **** Ibra though. That will be replayed for Euros and commercials for internationals for awhile.
For me its: Hart 6 Coke 7 Terry 7 Lescott 7 Johnson 6.5 Parker 6 Freezes 7.5 Milner 6 Young 3 Rooney 5.5 Welbeck 5.5
