Every day I get scousers telling me how great he is. How he's better than Lampard. How he's right up there with Ronaldinho. How many people would have backed him to be England's best player? Just look at his reputation. Look at his Liverpool performances, then look at this tournament (and the vast majority of his other England appearances) and you'll see a complete player and inspirational leader, then a shadow of the one in Red who is distinctly average as international midfielders go. Disappointment.GeraintIsMyHero said:Gerrard hardly let anyone down did he?
Ronaldinho was rightly rated, he was the standout player for the best club in the world throughout the last season.BoyBrumby said:Have to say Fat Frank myself. He's been absolutely shocking. Robinson & Terry also haven't quite lived up to their pre-tournament billings.
Ronaldinho & Ibrahimovic were anonymous & woeful respectively, but the former is massively overrated anyway (oh yes he is) & the only one who really rates the latter is the latter.
5 of em got docked some of their pay for under performing, they were a bit harsh on Koroman i thought considering he was their best player in the game against the Dutch...dontcloseyoureyes said:All of the Serbian team.
Absolutely right. We're forever being told that SGE didn't use him properly, but it's not as if he was stuck on the left wing or used as a holding player for most of this WC. Ultimately these guys have to take some responsibility for what they do or don't do out there.steds said:Every day I get scousers telling me how great he is. How he's better than Lampard.

Dunno what he's been like for Barca in big league games, presumably a bit better?/B]
