He wasn't at all the worst player on the pitch for us against Sweden. I felt that our central defenders were poor, I felt that Cole wasn't giving anything going forward which meant that Young was perhaps lacking a little support down the left.
Hang him for one below par game eh?
Just as we are going to get Rooney back - Rooney, Young, Welbeck and Valencia produced some breathtaking attacking football this year and the only thing that cost Man Utd the title in the end were defensive blunders and a few early season gaffs as the new keeper settled in.
They were fantastic going forward.
How many have said that by the time Rooney came back, we could be on our way home already? Well we aren't. We now have some match winners in Rooney, Young and Welbeck - perhaps even Gerrard might find some of his old sparkle.
So we have 3 out of 4 - and the Ox on the right and I think we can score against any team.
I am quietly confident that we might actually do well in this tournament, but the only way it will happen is if these key players do the business and our stoppers can start doing there job and not making the school boy errors that let Sweden bag 2 goals.
