England Player Ratings vs Denmark: Reds Stars Sterling And Sturridge Stand Out in 1-0 Victory

Posted by

Glen Johnson – 5/10

A polar performance. Glen Johnson got forward well, but either had a brilliant first touch and terrible cross, or terrible first touch and brilliant cross. Both results had forward players giving up on the prospect of a decent ball before it arrived.

Ashley Cole – 6/10

Ashley Cole rarely gives less than a 7/10 performance. Just ask Cheryl.

Tonight, the Chelsea veteran appeared slightly rusty after rarely having played this season, but hardly harmed his cause against a rather stale Denmark attack.

Steven Gerrard – 7/10

Liverpool and England captain Steven Gerrard played somewhat of a conservative match in the anchor role against Denmark, but his passes to the flanks and excellent tackling showed the maturity of his play.

Jordan Henderson – 6/10

Liverpool midfielder Jordan Henderson has been a brilliantly dynamic player for the Reds this season, offering running and massively improved technique alongside club colleague Steven Gerrard.

Roy Hodgson reunited the pair in defensive midfield against Denmark, and though Henderson made some enterprising forward runs, his lack of game-time with the majority of his colleagues going forward meant he was rarely found in good positions.
