No because Gerrard is not explosive enough anymore to play that role and you lose a striker if you do put him there. We need bodies in the box and Gerrard's tendencies as a midfielder will make him drop back too often. -
That's because Agger plays on the left. Having either Coates or Skrtel there as well would be unnecessary duplication and leave a gap somewhere else.Originally posted by kris90210 View Post.
Suppose you have a physicist and a sociologist standing at the side of a field, observing a set of events unfolding on the field. The physicist does [describes] it using the terminology of mass and velocity and frequency of radiation and the rest. And the sociologist does it by describing it as a rugby match.

Brilliant man management from Brendan.When asked about Skrtl's **** up blamed the rest of the team for not taking up better positions for him to make a pass

I think your wrong there, Lucas is much better at breaking up play.Originally posted by JohnDoe View Post
Big decision Brendan has on his hands, Sahin can make a difference to this side but who does he drop? On todays evidence Allen doesn't deserve to be, and Lucas provides the best cover to the defence.
Gerrard could find himself in a position where its play on the right or bench. Although it would take a manager with massive bollocks to do it.The times they are a changin'.Comment

Rodgers also saying he hopes we can get a few more players in before the end of the window.Comment

Brendan said "A few more" signings before window shuts.

I'd have taken that result before the game. It seemed risky starting with Sterling and Coates, but after a jittery first 20 minutes we dictated play. It was very encouraging and considering how young most of our team were today things bode very well for the future. It felt like Liverpool were playing again. Felt really sorry for Skrtel, he was immense prior to the back-pass.Comment

No injuries. Possibly he's not quite match-fit, but we're just easing him in I think.Originally posted by wavydavy View PostComment

I don't think him not being explosive now is any more or less of a problem there than in midfield. Do take your other points, things that had entered into my mind too, I guess I just feel on balance this way wins out. Primarily because we now have three players who are masters of midfield control and economy, which is vital to our gameplan and has always been Gerrard's one weak point.Originally posted by JohnDoe View Post
Up front his class can still do damage, be it with final ball / shooting or albeit decreasingly so these days, beating players. I'd sooner sacrifice Borini than one of Lucas, Allen and Sahin. Dropping off from a forward 3 is not the problem it is if you're in a two, and the last time he was part of a front two (well, in behind a front man) it seemed to work quite well!
Accept though it is far from a straightforward decision and we could all sit here arguing this all day. Nice decision to have to make!
