Liverpool boss Rodgers highlights top England midfield trio

Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers feels England can be excited about their midfield prospects.

Rodgers made the remark after Liverpool's thrashing of Arsenal.

"For me, you had the three England (midfield) players on the pitch," said Rodgers. "Stevie (Gerrard) playmaking from behind then two attacking players who can run, get forward and get into the box and can press. (Jack) Wilshere is a wonderful player.

"He is probably not to his (best) fitness level yet but he is a big talent, naturally gifted and can play either side and between lines.

"Jordan Henderson, tactically, is improving so much and Stevie is in the zone just behind. It would be hard to pick a better three than that."
