KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Is It Time For Liverpool To Drop Steven Gerrard?

Not sure about that. Isn't he our only outfield player to have played every minute of every game so far? Someone else mentioned his contribution but he's chipped in with a couple of goals, a few assists and has captained the team to our highest league position for many years. People need to put things into perspective - is it reasonable to expect us to be top of the league with gerrard performing like he did under Benitez? Who wouldn't have settled for our league position at this stage a few months back?

I think the simple fact that Steven Gerrard has created more goalscoring chances than any other player in the Premier League this season (21), answers any questions on this topic.

I guess we'll see what we look like without him.

A proper beast of a DM would go along way.

it will be interesting to see what Rodgers does without SG.

He should be able to cope, didn't KD play without SG for a big part of the season?

I wud play agger in sg position ...,

I think agger wud do a better job than Lucas, Hendo, Allen as a DM or AM

That's quite a gamble to take. If we keep the same formation, I would play Allen.

Agree with you.

There's no doubt that SG has had some indifferent games this season. Sloppy passes causing us to lose the ball in critical areas. More importantly, he seems to have lost some of his ability to pull us back from situations where our back is against the wall. When the going gets tough, his head seems to drop and his body language shows more desperation than a will to dig in and turn things around. Having said that, I think that we can not afford to drop him at the moment for lack of a better alternative. May be redefining his role as a more of an attacking midfielder would be Rodgers master stroke this season, provided that he ensures defensive cover to his back line.
