I think Defoe is the greediest player I've ever seen! Particularly when playing for England!

Well done to him for making his debut tonight. We really need to think up a decent song for him, a proper one that isn't the same one we have for Bent.

I kept on thinking 'why aren't they passing it to him?'. Glad it wasn't just me. It's a bit of a love-in though england. He's not one of the crew, seems a decent chap.

MOTM Delphy for me, stole the fucking show.

Did well and injected some much needed energy into an insepid midfield.

On the flip side, Milner looked way off it.  His contribution was summed up by that mis-hit pass that went straight out of play 25 yards away from the nearest England player.

Sad to see what Milner has become. What a waste.

Did anyone else think Sterling and Sturridge are determined to only pass to each other?

Not so much Sterling, I think he's a smarter player than that, but I thought it was obvious that Sturridge was only ever interested in passing if it was to Sterling.  Sturridge always frustrates me because he frequently makes the wrong choice in possession - has an extra touch, picks the wrong pass, often he just shoots when someone else is better placed.  I'm not sure he's got any footballing brain at all.  I think tonight he only passed when he heard Sterling chirrup for the ball.  (I don't think Sterling shouts for the ball, I think it's too weedy to qualify as a shout, it's more a sort of yelp, like a sparrow might make if you stood on his toe).

He looked 2-3 years ago like he would become a top quality central midfielder, but he is now a worse player than Henderson!

I actually think there would have been a case to give Henderson the armband.
