I only remember he missed a "given" golden­ chance against Russia last Oct which lead to England­ ended up losing. I also remembered he was outplayed at­ home against the Croatian midfield . Did anyone still­ remember his backpass against France in Euro­ 2004?
Let's be realistic, no matter how well­ Gerrard and Rooney play for their club, they are still­ pity @#$% when they are playing international football.­ So as Terry, Rio, Robinson, David James, etc. The only­ two players that can be given credit when they are­ playing for England are just Beckham and Peter Crouch.­ If you don't believe me, let's have a count­ with how many times they have saved England already.­ They are heros and others are not.

CHEF i agree completely.
been a LFC fan for 21 years­ (and yes i am female), no other club has more to give­ than them.
all the best to Gerrard, hope he returns­ asap! england do need him, as do LFC.
Go the mighty­ strong Reds,
sadchester united suck BTW!

pinnis there is more english players in our squad than­ the other 3 top teams put together so ur the clown­ fella so ye there shud be more liverpool players in the­ england squad there is no other team in the land with­ more passion and pride than the mighty reds so go­ juggle ur balls else where!!!!!!!

chef,you're a clown. i suppose you think all the­ liverpool players should be in the england squad. oh i­ forgot they're not all english.

Once again Champions League is chosen to be more­ important than the national team...tisk tisk

to all you stupid chelsea and manu idots gerrard is the­ best we hav and will be missed greatly no ones plays­ better 4 his country than stevie g. lampard is useless­ and thinks only of money and is too scared to play when­ gerrard is on the pitch what has terry or rio dun for­ us nothing i repeat NOTHING they dont deserve the arm­ band and dont deserve to be on the team carra is the­ best center back in the country with passion and­ determination but never gets picked over them two soft­ lads rooney duz not know where the net is and would­ rather be doing tv shows or photo shoots with his­ misses another beckham there then so with out stevie­ where pretty s**t out really. you get your rest stevie­ sod england if you can score goals like you did against­ boro wi groin problems cant wait to see what you can do­ when your back fit youll never walk alone till i die­ lfc 4 eva

anyway if i were gerrard i'd be a very worried guy­ !
because if we had an england manager with some balls­ perhaps he would struggle to get into the team in the­ first place....he's conning the england supporters­ every match he plays....he does naff all that goes for ­ lampost (well he might as well be !!) and teletubby­ rooney, useless heskey and drop a clanger james, ok­ most of them to be honest.
saying that if we had a­ manager with balls we would have a team to be proud of­ once again.
clear out the @#$% capello, you know who­ they are if you know anything about english football (­ thats debatable!)....and bring in some new young blood­ (if not a decent manager must be found) we are im sad­ to say becoming a laughing stock in the world of­ international football, ok i am patriotic and love my­ england through and through and if you do care...voice­ your support here.
yes im female too but do know my­ football !!!

does anyone remember that sitter gerrard missed in euro­ qualifies which we ended losing 2:1. if we had drawn­ that game we would have qualified
thanks for all the­ important goals you've scored when we needed them

I cant believe how much some people can be biased!
So,­ Gerrard wont be missed? Fine, just wait n c!

stevie is a pile of @#$%. he's total siht for­ england. maybe with a few games without him an england­ manager will drop him for good. liverpool fans suck­ @#$%- they are totally deluded- for christs sake they­ think crouch is good

we pray to God cos without Steven G england is down

what has Gerrard done for England lately? zilch nothing­ thats what,get rid of goldenballs too bring in Ashley­ Young

You know what.... if we dont change our team­ "kftoom" will probably more than happy in 2­ games time

we need Owen back EOM.

I'd like to thank a few people for their kind­ comments - I'll be sending signed photos out­ shortly so you can pin them to your bedroom ceilings ! ­ You can think what you like but it doesnt alter the­ fact that the current England team (including your­ precious Gerrard) is no better than cr*p. Mindyinlooe­ speaks some sense - try some new blood cos most of what­ we have now is so passionless its embarrassing..­ anyway, Cbeebies is on now.....

who the hell gave me a thumbs down? i am more right­ than all of you top 4 obsessed schmuks. haha!

Mind you chima w, this is not the super eagles where­ over aged players prevents talents from coming up.­ Scholes retired at the right time giving a chance to­ the younger players. If he was there now, probably will­ not do well for United as he is now. And get this into­ your head that Gerrard will be missed. He is all­ England has at the moment. we will miss him at­ Liverpool too. but whatever happens get well Stevie for­ we are with you always. You'll Never Walk Alone!

WELL SORRY BUT HE WONT BE MISSED , WHATS HE DONE FOR­ ENGLAND RECENTLY ANYWAY......NOTHING!
SHAME WE­ CAN'T REMOVE THE LIKES OF LAMPARD, HESKEY, JAMES,­ DEFOE, BECKHAM AND CO TOO (BUT CAN WE ACTUALLY SEE MR­ CAPELLO DOING THIS.....NO WAY!!)
I WOULD GIVE JOE HART­ A CHANCE IN GOAL,AND ADD THE LIKES OF MILNER,­ AGBONLAHOR, ASHLEY YOUNG, BENTLEY, JOE COLE,MICAH­ RICHARDS TO NAME A FEW AND WE MIGHT JUST HAVE A TEAM­ WITH FLAIR AND PASSION AND A BUNCH OF PLAYERS THAT­ WOULD BE PROUD TO WEAR THE SHIRT (CERTAINLY THE­ OPPOSITE TO MANY OF THE CURRENT ENGLAND SQUAD)­ !!!
ENGLAND TILL I DIE !

keith r wat a @#$%!!!
