ECHO Comment: "Fears of Witch-hunt Against Liverpool FC" part 3

Horrendouson stank thre place out when he came on, not up to the speed of the game at all, so many missed passes as well .
Truely past it, not that he was much good to start with. Should never have even been at the Euros.

Kopites going apeshit since last night saying the reason England lost is because he didn't play from the start and take all the penalties.
Utter joke of a fanbase.

Can see why they are going to spend big on Tielemans or Saul, from recent reports.

Henderson can’t play international football, doesn’t have the technique for it. He’s used to just running round booting players illegally and then immediately punting a ball over the top. Works in the prem but in internationals you just give cheap fouls away and give the ball away. Most of the teams are good enough to keep it away from you as well.

Yeah, different level is international football.

Champions League is his ceiling, easier level to play in.

I would put Maguire in there as well, he thinks he's some libero defender like Baresi Kohler Augenthaler Sammer or Beckenbauer, absolute atrocious footballer with the ball at his feet, he must have brought the ball out of defence about 5 times last night, ball bouncing off his feet under no control and booting it out for a throw in with some laughable 30-40 yard pass to no one, be a great drinking game watching him trying to do that every game for United.

At international level we’ve not had a world class deep lying controlling midfielder since Scholes and even then managers were so obsessed with Gerrard and Lampard that they shifted him out wide. Carrick should have played an awful lot more for England than he did. Before that though you’re probably looking at all the way back to Alan Ball for a player who can take the ball off the back 4 under pressure and release it on the half turn and find passes.

Verrati did it last night. Pirlo has done it against us, Xavi, Modric, Kroos Zidane etc. They’ve all had that ability to do it. If you want to control too matches you have to have this type of midfielder in your team. England are obsessed with either box to box goal scorers like Lampard and Gerrard, or defensive shields like Rice. We don’t really value someone who pulls strings from deep. That’s why even though we have decent players now we struggle to keep possession under pressure whereas Italy played out our press numerous times through Verrati and Jorginho.
