KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum The demise of Steven Gerrard - NOT

Gerrard for player manager.

Even if it was time for him to go, Rodgers hasnt the cahoonas to do it. A big manager like Rafa or Mourinho could, another reason why 'i cant believe i got this job' Rodgers isnt the right man.

What are you basing that assumption on?

For someone called Blind Faith, you don't seem very blindly faithful!

I think he's right.

Brendan has to keep Steven on side. Any bad feelings with him or Carra and he's doomed

but it's all an assumption that:

1) he wants to remove Gerrard from the team

2) that he isn't strong enough to do it

player power should never come before the good of the Club tho, if the Club benefits from Gerrard or Carrager no longer being at the Club then they go, it's as simple as that, you can't have a situation were the tail waggs the Dog...

A professional journalist such as Maddock can write any piece he wants and spout 'facts' to back up just about anything.

My eyes don't usually fool me over this many games in. Whether past it, being played where he is unsuited or otherwise, SG has been poor or off the boil more often than not up to now and that's all the analysing I need to do.

If he plays against Fulham let's hope he finds some form and continues where he left off in the late stages against Villa!

Many think he has been poor because of his lack of goals but his creativity and responsibility on the pitch has increased in my opinion. Just because he hasn't scored the glory goals that he has in the past doesn't mean he has become a worse player. If he is creating chances we all know we are poor at finishing and if we sign an out and out goal scorer them we will see how important he is to the team.

personally i think gerrard is in flux. he played for many years as the focal point of the team and that is changing now. i don't think he's particularly lost in the new system of play. but now that he's a little older and lost that yard of pace, i just think that he'll have ot change his game to compensate for what he's lost (kind of like what paul scholes has had to do)
