Roy Hodgson criticised the form of midfielder Joe Cole following Liverpool's drab Europa League draw with Utrecht on Wednesday night.
Cole missed a late chance to snatch victory in a dire match at Anfield with Liverpool already guaranteed a place in the last 32 courtesy of finishing top of their group.
It summed up the stuttering season Cole is having to date since his free transfer from Liverpool in the summer with his time in the north west hampered by suspension and injury.
