Sounds a bit like twaddle ot maybe you're looking for something (negativity) that isn't there.
dont know if you went the match yesterday or if you are an armchair fan, I went and while I was there I watched Gerrard quite closely, I said before I thought he played well but having said that he never really pushed himself, Fulham's midfield gave him plenty of time and space to dictate which Gerrard was quite happy to do, it was not an intense game and foe that reason I still think Gerrard played within himself and never really pushed himself or played flat out because he never needed to, hope this clears it up a bit...

Well done for making the game yesterday, you're right in that I had to make do with watching the game on the telly on this occasion. Unfortunately it doesn't improve your point or make it any more valid. I'm not debating whether Gerrard played at full pelt for 90 mins yesterday but to me you don't understand the game if you feel that a footballer would play 'within himself" in preparation for tournament 18 mths away.

I think it's obvious to everyone that Gerrard cannot physically play in the same way that he did 3 or 4 years ago and has had to adapt his game to suite. It may have taken a while for Gerrard to come to terms with this himself but it seems like he has and is now able to influence games in a slightly different way. To say he isn't exerting himself is like saying that Giggs hasn't put any effort in for Utd for the last few years because he doesn't razz down the wing like a greyhound anymore.

I hope that is helpful......

I dont think it has to play full pelt, I see him this season pulling out of tackles that he would never of pulled out of for risk of serious injury which in all honesty one at this stage of his career would be curtains. Just one one thing a person who goes to the match will always have a better understanding of the game as they can see what is going on all over the pitch off the ball, runs, instructions, tactics whereas on the telly you only get to see what the camera shows you which normaly just follows the ball...

That only applies if you understand what's going on.

Now given that you have stated in 1 of your former guises that you didn't rate tactics and formations you will understand if we are not overwhelmed by your in-depth analysis of the game.

why do people indulge this guy?

he is never positive about his team or players.

can we all not guess why?

I will listen, only if your answer contains wisdom

I'm not sure whether you went to yesterdays game or not gives your view any more credibility but for the record I DO go to matches.

Anyway, thats beside the point, the fact that Gerrard isn't lunging into tackles like he was 10 years ago is a good thing in my view. I've seen him smash a few players this season but he just isn't as wild or 'enthusiastic' in the challenge as he used to be. You can't do that in todays game anyway (see J Shelvey) and I fail to see how this shows that he is lacking in commitment to LFC and keeping himself fresh for Brazil 2014. It seems ridiculous.

there is a difference between supporting your team blindly and pointing out things which are bad about your Club, concentrate on your weakness so that that the positives will come, at the moment we have more weaknesses than positives, now you can bury your head in the sand and pretend they are not there or you can bring them out into the open which i do, discuss them and try to decide which way we can put them right. The thing which baffles me most is that people are quick to jump on me when I tell them about things which are not good about the Club, we are the worst we have been in about 50 years so everything I say is the truth, we are currently garbage by Club standards which people go on so people should focus there frustration at the Club and team rather than me who just points it out...
