Diego Maradona thinks Steven Gerrard and England's defence should be held responsible for the defeat to Uruguay that crushed their World Cup hopes. The Argentina legend singled out Gerrard for his part in the 2-1 loss, saying the England captain 'could have done better' in both goals that were scored by his Liverpool team-mate Luis Suarez. The 1986 World Cup hero thinks the skipper could have tracked Uruguay's Nicolas Lodeiro better for the first goal, before he 'made a mess' by nodding the ball into Suarez's path for the second.
