Best player never to win the title bar none.

****ing immense for england today. Honestly absolutely top draw.

If he can maintain that sort of disciplined role then he could prolong his career because he was brilliant.

[Pablo]

Yep, he's been near faultless in every game so far. Also appears to be somewhat in cruise control to me too. Delighted to see him doing so well as captain

Really controlled and effective display. He is our best player, and has been the best player for England so far in this tournament.

Hopefully this puts the utter nonsense that "he cant play centre mid" "he's too thick to play there" etc etc to bed. I'd always try and have him further forward or on the right but he's a boss central mid aswell and always has been.

He is the heartbeat of the england team and IF England go on and win it. a lot of it will be down the Stevie.

In his earlier years he would always bomb forward and chase the game, hence he'd always get bossed by the likes of Keane and Viera.

In his later years I never wanted him in CM as he was always at least our 2nd best attacking player.

Now, I think he may have to drop back. Rodgers likes his 433. I have to say, I was always of the thinking that Lucas would take the deep lying role ala Leon Brittain for Swansea.

But seeing Gerrard in this tournament, makes me think he would be better suited, with the energy of Lucas more suited to the Joe Allen role. Especially as Gerrard has a much better range of pass than Lucas.

What really matters though is we bring in players who can score without needing Gerrard to be the saviour all the time. Maybe then we can finally allow ourselves to trust him in a deeper role.

What a perfformiad that was.

He was immense tonight.

Passing was the best I've seen for some time. He was disciplined and helped encourage his team mates, helped them when some were down and their heads had gone.

Was positive and forward thinking, a driving force all across the pitch smashing people off the ball but in a fair, strong and competitive way and tracking back all the time.

Crossing was ace and was miles above everyone else and helped England perform a vast improved attacking performance.

Brilliant. It's a travesty that he was not England captain sooner as I'm sure they'd have been a much better more successful team.

We're lucky he's ours. I still think he's carrying some weight though.

Thats not really true, he's had plenty of immense performances in CM against Keane and Vieira.

[McDermotX]

Best of a very bad bunch tonight, for fear of somewhat overselling his overall performance and impact on the game.
Getting no help at all in midfield from Parker's headless chicken impression, Young's amazing ability to concede possession and Milner's inability to actually play football.
Not being helped by Roy's archaic setup either.

Is he ****! Did you not seem him sporting his 6 pack the other day with Carroll looking on in admiration? Not an ounce of fat on him

Oh and "perfformiad"?

He's dog****e. Cant pass and he's one of the worst readers of a game I've ever seen. Chase, chase, chase and while 1 time in 8 he'll put in one of his "brave" blocks, the other 7 times he looks like a complete **** and leaves a massive gap.
