shame we didnt get to see ashley young down the left in the second half...

good to see barry getting another man of the match performance under his belt and surely the decision now is to who partners him, out of lampard and gerrard...

tbh for me, it has to be gerrard, as both really do compliment each other well and offer us balance and solidity through the middle..

i would be interested to see if that happens when barry plays with lampard, or whether lampards lack of positional discipline and powder puff tackling, loses the balance and solidity that barry and gerrard have...

job done yesterday and while not amazingly convincing, we did the job and probably rightfully, didnt take too many risks in the second half, with an eye on the russia game...
