Crying arse Echo hack from the Palace game: wanking furiously over Suarez's performance and scolding Woy for doubting he's the best player that ever lived.

How do these numb nuts get paid cash for tat like that?

There's that little vote on the bottom: is Luis Suarez world class? 97% yes. Hmm. I think that's rigged. I voted no out of principle and I'm sure more than 3% did too.

I was disappointed there was no "Cheese on toast" option.
 

They can't accept "Stevie" was at fault for both goals.
He was woeful, besides the goals. He's a knackered old man, who has never been good at tackling unless he's sliding after tracking back. He's awful when people are running at him.

Englands defence was not at fault for the 2nd. They step up well, and aren't expecting a DM to do something as ridiculous as attempt a header he was never going to reach when Suarez was lurking. He's far too high up the pitch when it's in the goalies hands, and ends up back peddling. Carrick or Barry, or even Henderson wouldn't have done that.

Gerrard has always messed up for England.
His backpass vs France.
It was his man to mark vs Croatia for their 3rd goal in that qualifier.
Absolute Heitinga of a challenge for the first last night.
Caught woefully out of position for the 2nd last night.

Very true, the only reason Gerrard sits back is to protect himself, cant run, cant tackle (cant head) and needs two players with him at all times to support these deficiencies.

Kopite aside, he has had his time and it's time he packed it in.
 

Last season Gerrard attempted 350 long balls and Henderson 180, whereas Yaya Toure attempted 198. The outcry for England to play the 'Liverpool way' hid the fact that they have become a long ball team. The 'Liverpool way' is to sit deep, give it to Gerrard and hoof it to Suarez and Sturridge and catch teams on the break. International football is a bit different with better defenders and mangers that deploy better tactics than a lot of Premier League managers. The Italians got caught out once with a quick counter attack, Sturridge goal, then changed tact to stop the counter, they sat deeper and brought on players to get in position to stop it. Uruguay's defence played deep and tried to hit England on the counter. England needed players with guile and skill to break down the Uruguay's defence, something Gerrard and Henderson both lack. Therefore it was a very pedestrian performance by England playing the 'Liverpool way'. Gerrard still attempted 23 long balls during the Italy and Uruguay games.
