Gerrard a must or not?

[Mattshark]

GERARD is a centre mid - its his best position and he's our best player. so he should always play - he is a DEFO MUST - and he must play centrally.

Sorry but Gerrard has played his best football in attacking mid, despite what Sky say.

Are you Roy Dodgson?

Jamie Redknapp told him.

[Drago]

If I was manager, he'd be on the right whether he liked it or not. He's got so much to offer out there its untrue, especially because we're hugely lacking on either flank with the current system.

On the right for the good of the team.

i dont normally agree with sky but on this i prefer to see gerard running onto play rather than having his back to goal as he often does in the attacking role. with the war roy sets up his team i think playing from deeper has suited gerard better.

Are you Roy Dodgson?

Based on what?

just what i see of gerard when he plays. although the team has been playing poor ste at least has looked a bit more of a impact on games playing deeper. lucas and raul have been good there but given a choice, id put gerard there ahead of both.

he's my mate.

The only people suited to they way Roy sets up the team are the opposition.

He was one of the best players in the world. He isn't that anymore. Even Gerrard gets older and because of that a worse player. The many injuries also means that he gets worse.

The Gerrard playing as a central midfielder is bull**** because he isn't good enough defending to do that. Manager after manager have tried to play him with many different players and no one suited him. No one could play with him in a way that made him effective.

The problem is that usually when a player gets older then you can move him from attacking to central midfield or from central midfield to defensive midfield and so on but in this case you can't do that because he isn't good enough defending to do that. It's attacking positions the rest of the career and that means either attacking midfield, second striker or striker.

There is also better players than him out there in everyone of the above positions and I want what is best for the team and not what is best for Gerrard. If we can sign a better player than him on the right or to play with Torres then he is suddenly a backup player.

Gerrard is still one of the best players in the game today, his injuries and the whole nightmare Liverpool saga over past season or so hasn't changed that the blokes is "world class", i'm not debating the guys best position thas a different story, merely stating that 99% of teams would be better with Gerrard in them.

Honestly mate, i just think you just have a bad issue with Gerrard & Carra because apparently they were involved with the Rafa sacking. Your a staunch Rafa supporter that is very obvious, but your driving this agenda way too far IMO, and most of your posting seems to be somewhat Rafa related, even indirectly, each to their own but just my opinion.

I'm not on any agenda. But I understand you won't be able to dissociate between one and something else.
