Maybe Carra was too busy mentioning Gerrards assist for the first goal on Sunday and the raking 60 yard pass that put Sturrdidge through to set up the 1st Suarez goal? I think that Gerrard has been relatively poor this season but its difficult to justify him as being our weakest player with that kind of contribution.
This has been happening over the past few seasons. Gerrard finally gets one of his Hollywood passes on target and people forget how mediocre he has been. Easily one of the worst players in the first 11 this season. I was talking about the game before, where Gerrard was easily at fault for the goal, but Carragher blamed Sakho and completely over-looked Gerrard, he looked like an idiot for doing so.

his talents include a brutish capacity to shield the ball over the defensive touch line and running towards the opponents touch line and passing it to the opposition.
he regularly is caught out of position and doesn't appear to be very bright.
we currently have three or four weak links and he is one of them.
his name is cool though.
i bet he can dance with the stars.

and may i add, Carraghers' criticism of Sakho is way off target. The guy is pure class. good timing, gets his head up, not afraid to pass forward, not sideways).
Gerrard has been a passenger more often than not in 2013.

To be honest Gerrard has been rather poor this season in my opinion, but the fact of the matter is that his passing is what got us 3 points last weekend and no matter how poor he has been, if all he does is get two killer passes per game that lead to goals, I'll be happy.

Totally agree and that is precisely the point I was making. The guy is class so even when he is out of form, which he has been, he can still make a game winning contribution. I can't think of many players that we have in squad that could replace him and do the same. Dropping Gerrard is a no no for me.

I don't think he's rubbish, can be great on his day but was truly woeful today. At least we have a replacement/cover when Cissokho returns.

I honestly dont understand the criticism Jose is getting here. Yes he does get caught out of position sometimes, but this can happen to any wing-back/fullback when they move forward. How can he be our weakest link yet its clear for everyone that our midfield has been useless in the past few games? To me he is part of everything good that happens on the left going forward. His performances have not been any less than Glen Johnson for example. I find this abit harsh if not strange. Our weakest link is the midfield and its plain for all to see, and if it was anyone but Gerrard in that midfield, we would all be crying for a replacement.
A good win today and long may it continue, thought we played well in the first half and sat back in the second (as has become our custom - needs sorting), a few players were abit off but a win is a win, 3 points in the bag couldn't ask for more.
