James' usual weakness was crosses and going walkabout. Tonight he held on to everything hit at him and even managed to punch well. He had one shot to save as such and he did so. Great solid display.
Henry looked for the penalty. He played the ball perfectly away from the keeper and yet made no attempt to follow it - as professional and brilliant player. James commited and the rest was inevitable. Henry, love him or tonight, loathe him, is simply class and his quick feet and thinking were spot on after 90 minutes of a quiet game for him.
Gerrard was a bit poor with his back pass, but given the situation for once he was tired and missed that Henry was still there. Apart from that I thought he had a good game.
I thought Beckham was below par tonight although the penalty was purely a brilliant save (obviously there is an element of luck too) from Barthez.
Rooney - brilliant and I still stand by my shoot Heskey. That substitution was terrible, a 1/2 knackered Rooney is better than a fresh Heskey.
Ledley King was a true star tonight as was Sol Campbell in the 2nd half. Ashley Cole was good going forward but lost the ball a couple of times, G Neville was just lucky not to give away the ball as often as he does normally.
I cannot understand though why Silverstre and James were allowed to stay on the field?
Also, we were lucky not to have my mate G Neville not give away a penalty. His arm was up but what made me laugh was that if you noticed although the ball was going towards his arm he still attempted to head it!
