You are right, it is does not help to boo any player. But the players should take note at the display of frustration, primitive though it may be. It would be foolish to write it off.
I would not boo any player as I want them to play better in the end. But does ‘better’ mean just how they should be playing anyway? How much more training and money do they need? We do wonder where the motivation comes from with the players at times.
After last night loss against Russia for example we do not feel like booing. We are angry though as we just feel betrayed as Englishmen. Its the same feeling we had watching the team in Gelsenkirchen last year. Think about that players on the England team. One goal more is not enough.

“Two weeks ago Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson said that England was developing a “blame” culture spawned by reality TV shows that owe much of their popularity to public humiliation”

That’s very astute analysis from Ferguson akin to a popular culture scholar and I don’t mean it in sarcasm. Really smart guy tho I hate Man-U.

Back to Lampard. There are some of his performances that warrant booing and some that don’t. You don’t expect fans to cheer blindly but then again neither can you expect them to boo always. No doubt, Lampard is good, maybe even damn good… but strangely only when he puts on a Chelsea jersey.
