Team Spirit

[blacky]

Just a thought lads...................Is the spirit in the squad what it should be?
More than once today I seen players having a cheeky pop at each ohter over mi**** shots & passes. Could there be a little bit of something bubbling under the surface in regards to team selection, squad rotation etc etc

i think sky TV and the press would like us to think there is an undercurrent of unrest watch out for the Stevie's not happy stories to raise there ugly heads,the press create the illusion and then somehow make it real.

I wonder about this too to be honest.

I think Gerrard in particular could be having a major impact in the dressing room. I don't mean deliberately causing any trouble or anything like that - I think he's too much of a professional for that.

I do wonder though whether his being unhappy with not only the squad rotation, but also being played on the right, the left, being left on the bench is havig a big impact on his confidence and performance.

Gerrard is generally thought to be the talisman of the team, the heart that can lift the team, make them lift their game etc. If he is pissed off and not able to do that, the whole team will be affected.

I wonder if it isn't time to put Gerrard back in the middle, attacking the goal, and let him run the middle of the pitch. We can rest Alonso who is off form anyway.

Watever the reasons for the slow start, I hope it's sorted quickly becayuse we need to start beating teams and scoring goals quickly.
