king

[Kinky Gerbil]

thought he did well tonight better than campbell in my view

 

[Braders]

yeah he's one of my england MOMs

Him and Lampard had alright games

the other 9 well.........

 

[CAFC Matt]

Yeas he did well, and Rooney as the 2 MOTM's fr England IMO. Saying that though Lampard did well too

 

[saafend_seagull]

rooney, king, cole, and lampard were ones who played better than average i think.

 

[Gully]

and Scholes in the first half

 

[ManxSeagull]

and Scholes in the first half

You must be taking the pi55. What did Scholes do all game !!

 

[Beach Hut]

King was a tower of strength.

I personally think Scholes played well.

put in a few quality tackles , pushed it forward , generally had a good game

 

[NMH]

Yep, another fan here for Scholes contribution. Vassel was a good sub, but Heskey ? Never again Sven, please.

90 meaningless minutes of superiority.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

king and terry?

Disagree there

how the F K does Heskey get in the England team every time

hes done NOTHING major with Liverpool this year
and the Owen/Heskey partnership has fallen flat on its arse

 

[London Calling]

KING AND CAMBELL DID THEIR JOB. SO DID MIDFIELD, UNTIL THE SECOND HALF. OH WHY DO WE PLAY HOOF TO THE ROOF UNDER SWEN.

King had a terrific game as did Rooney .
Cole ,Campbell,Gerrard(until last minute)and Lampard were OK,the others were below their best but we still should not have lost

 

[Goring Gull]

What i want to know is why the f*** can we not pass the bal about to slow the game down when needed , it's not just recently we've been crap at it for years.

 

[donuts]

the whole team played well , except for two lapses one from heskey and one from gerrard .
BECKHAMS PENALTY WAS A GREAT SAVE

no it wwasnt! it was a crap pen and he always goes right

Thought Ledley had a very good game, just shaded in the second half (reluctant as I am to admit it) by the bloke next to him.
Add Rooney, and that's a triangle of our top performers.

Thought Scholes was one of our worst, to be honest. Defensively a liability, contributed next to nothing up front. Hardly noticed Lumpalard before his goal, which was well taken, and he strived hard in the second half without really dominating the midfield. We tended to hold France off at the edge of the penalty area, rather than further up the field.

Hope Gerrard doesn't get victimised (though this could be seen as a defeat forged in Liverpool past and present - Heskey, Gerrard, James. . .) Thought he roamed interestingly all over the place, without quite being the central lynchpin we're used to.

Would suggest changing the keeper, but was anxious enough for Ledley - don't think my heart could cope with worrying about a Spurs keeper every time a cross came in too!

Not a disaster to lose, just galling to lose in such circumstances. . .

Or should that be, "Gaul-ling". . .

Very true, all Barthez had to do was go the right way and he'd saved it - perfect for goalkeepers ... had to be high or low, utter crapshite

But King was outstanding, and it would be very harsh to drop him for someone arguably no better, and definetly slower. King and Rooney deserved the win, and I thought we had it when Kind blocked Sagnol's shot on 88

f*** IT!!!

 

[Simster]

I take it all back regarding King. He was class. Scholes fell apart in the second half, but I have no complaints with his first half performance.
