KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Gerrard in the middle please

I saw last nights game on the telly and was not happy with the performance (far to defensive for my liking).

However one thing i did notice is when they pushed dirk behind ngog and put gerrard in the middle, how much better we looked. It was almost as if gerrard came alive with the role (i don't think he likes playing behind the striker). I think that gerrard should play in the middle of the park so he can dictate and not wasted and isolated behind a front man. We have other players who could do that role, benny or aquaman.

I really don't think that Rafa is playing the best way tactically and is playing certain players in positions that don't best use there skills.

i think when torres is injured gerrard should play in centre mid because he doesnt hav an understanding with ngog and we should play 4-4-2 babel and kuyt up front mascherano gerrard has a good balance to it

and has for not being happy with the performance we were brilliant untill carragher got injured got the tactics right i think we might have got the 1-0 we were looking for if carragher stayed on

I don't know abut that arsenal still had chances in the first half, if the russian dude could shoot we would have been one nil down. I thought we played for a draw from the onset.

Ngog is pants and we'll be lucky to get goals from him in the absence of Nando.

Agree that stevie is totally not himself without torres. Time to push kuyt up front and degen on the right wing. I thought degen proved that he could be a menace on the right - but not at RB please!

I honestly thought if we had played degen on the right wing, kuyt up front, riera instead of maxi, we would have had a shout at a win.

Thats the point i was making about Rafa decisions mightyreds. He doesn't play the right team or mix.

we were brilliant? omg are you really that clueless? brilliant would be playing the arse off the pitch, not sitting back and hoping to not concede

spot on trepie mate

when you play arsenal at arsenal without your only striker you have to do what we did until carra came off they had nothing they were boo'd at half time and we did everything what had to do brilliantly yet again people on here would only be happy if they were barcelona fans

I just don't know what game you where watching house because there were chances for arsenal. I thought the def looked shaky all game and we never knew how to clear the ball properly. Only when arsenal took there foot off the gas once they scored did we look composed.

i don't think house can stay up that late to watch the match ..... coz s/he certainly didn't watch the same game i did

and if anyone thinks that one player out injured is an excuse to go out there looking to defend for 90 minutes then they really need to wake up!! we are meant to be a top team, a team that is capable of challenging for trophies.... how can we do that when we are incapable of playing without one player!
