It's a fact most fans seem unable to face up to but England are one of the world's footballing minnows. The Three Lions' record in major international tournaments is woeful. They've only won one - the World Cup in 1996 and supporters still bang on about it now.

It didn't take much for Liverpool to better last week's miserable defeat at Wigan but Rafa Benitez's bold approach in the wins over Pompey and Lille deserves praise.

The inclusion of Aquilani, Babel and Maxi as well as the big two, Gerrard and Torres, meant Liverpool used attack as the best form of defence, and used it to devastating effect.

It is a pity though that after playing a direct role in two of Liverpool's goals on Monday, as well as netting one himself, Aqulaini...
