Wayne Rooney was unhappy with England fans booing the players after their 0-0 draw with Algeria last night. The Manchester United striker trudged off following an ineffective performance.

He told the ITV cameras: "It's nice to see your home fans booing you."

The result means England need to beat Slovenia next Wednesday to ensure they qualify for the last 16.

Midfielder Gareth Barry understood the fans' frustration.

He said: "It is a long way to come out here, they want what's best for us and we do too. We want to qualify and they want to extend their stay out here and see us go as far as possible.

"On Wednesday night that is just the small push for us to try and do it for the fans."

Captain Steven Gerrard made no excuses for the display in which the team were sloppy throughout and rarely threatened the Algeria goal.

The Liverpool skipper told ITV1: "We're not happy with the performance, we need more.

"We want to stay in this tournament until the final stages.

"We were not good enough to make the breakthrough in the final third.

"We've not got any excuses, we know what we have to do. We have to win the final game which adds to the pressure but at this level you have to handle that pressure.

"We were not aggressive enough and didn't have the cutting edge in the final third.

"Give them (Algeria) credit but we have to look at ourselves."
