Reds Striker Says 'Booing Gerrard Was Out Of Order'!

But the Reds midfielder said after the game he "expected it" after England's poor show against Croatia. And he wasn't the only one to suffer taunts.

Scott Carson took it at the Riverside, and like Gerrard, walked off the field delighted with a 3-0 win. So both players had the last laugh.

But credit to Gerrard, he played it down and said "it's like water off a duck's back to me, I just get on with it".

Come on Scousers ... the Toon Army booed Sam Allardyce MORE ... so what's the problem?

Kuyt: "It's a bit disappointing that Steven was booed because he is not only a really important player for Liverpool but also a really important player for England.

"I can understand why the fans are disappointed England aren't going to the European Championships, but you have to respect players like Steven Gerrard because he is important for Liverpool and will continue to be important for England in the future.

"Steven and Peter Crouch were really disappointed after last Wednesday.

"They were really down on Thursday and Friday but they know how important the game at Newcastle was, and they were focused on it.

"You saw the quality of Steven Gerrard. He scored a really great goal that set us on our way."
