To be honest Gerrard has been a great player for Liverpool over the years just as Scholes was for United but...
I struggle to remember one of the 100 odd game that Gerard played for England.....
He is NOT a holding midfield player and for me he was played in the wrong position in the first two group matches
Did we really need TWO holding midfield players?
We could all see that we are lacking an out and out goalscorer...
Its no good watching Sturridge / Welbeck and Stirling doing fancy party tricks out wide because they are never going to score from there.
The ONLY time we got someone attacking the six yard area was when Rooney scored.
Back to Gerrard..
He was at fault more for the first goal when he put in a half hearted tackle on the half way line which led to them playing it out wide for the cross.
You cant blame Gerrard alone
The blame lies with Hodgson and his back room staff who picked a squad with NO PLAN B
No Carrol...No Defoe and No Crouch......anyone of them is a better striker then Lambert.
I would get rid of Hodgson and that back room staff NOW before he can do more damage..
Gerrard might try to hang on for a few more matches but wont be around for the Euros in 2016.
We all know he wont play tomorrow night but Lampard will in what will be his international testimonial.
