Steven Gerrard demands England hit Montenegro for six to get 2014 World Cup bid back on track "We know we can play a lot better but at least we got the point," he said. We'll go over this game and see where we could have improved and where we could do better. It was a difficult game, a difficult pitch. We weren't at our best but we dug in and got a draw. We believe in ourselves and we believe we are the best team in the group, so we are confident of qualifying. Rooney was sent off on his last visit to Montenegro during qualifying for Euro 2012 but said that revenge would not be in his mind. "That's gone - it's not something I think about any more," he said. It will be a tough game for the team, so I can't go thinking it's time to put things right that have gone. Rooney was also honest in his assessment of his own performance in Warsaw Although he scored England's goal from a set-piece, he struggled to influence the game or threaten Poland and was unusually substituted. "I know I can play better than that," said Rooney. It was hard work. First half I was making long runs back and then trying to get forward and then went out to the left for the second half and I was a bit tired, so I've no problem with being taken off. The pitch wasn't great, it took a lot out of your legs but I was delighted to score. England manager Roy Hodgson admitted that he had taken Rooney off because he felt that the Manchester United striker was becoming fatigued. Gerrard stressed that the pitch condition should not be used as an excuse. "I thought Poland dealt with the conditions and played to the conditions slightly better than us," he said. The pitch was slippy, wet, cutting up. I think it was laid a week and a half ago. So it wasn't ideal. Both team tried to make the most of it and they did it better. We did OK until we scored but never built on the one-goal lead. I won't use the delay and conditions as an excuse. The reason we didn't win was because we didn't pass it when we went in front.
