Lennon was average, which was better than the rest of the team outside of Gerrard. Glen Johnson never game him the ball in good space and England never really had a chance to counter attack because the Americans were keeping 5 men back at all times outside of free kicks/corners
When he got the ball he got by his man and created chances, his delivery wasn't great but he got probly 4-5 corners and that low cross he hit near rooney should have been a goal
the only play I really fault him on was the chance in the first half, he has to shoot that unless there is a clear path for the pass
Realistically they played terrible and still deserved the win over what is arguably the 2nd best team in their group, just put Hart in net and move Gerrard to the left when Barry is fit for the next game
