Hmmm and we got Joe Allen instead who did absolutely nothing as usual. Anyone who thinks he should play ahead of Gerrard wants their head examined

For me, it's hard to say the SG should not play. I think he should, but just stop him taking corners. I have said it for a long time, he is terrible at them. Can't get a ball past the first post and our return on corners is a bad bad joke. Put him in the box on the receiving end. We need Stevie G if for nothing else to convince some talent that Anfield is still a top place to play football. Who else is a draw to the place ? I can't think of any players at Anfield that I would want to play with if I had a talent for the top end of the game

Joe Allen is probably playing ahead of Gerrard because even Rogers understands finally the guy can't play 56 games a week at 34 years old.

It's a sorry state that he has not been able to do a Lampard for about the last 18 months because our midfield has been so diabolical we've had to keep relying on him.

Government is not reason; it is not eloquent; it is force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master.

SG at his age cannot play all games and instead of buying Markovic, we should have gone for a DM

That’s a sad and and in footballing terms an ignorant statement to make about one of and probably our greatest ever players.
He’s 34 and given the number of competitions we’re in this season, of course he shouldn’t be played in every game, however he’s still a quality player and deserves respect, but from what I’ve seen from your posts to date, I doubt you have that in you.

Agree with the last poster

Was reading caracghers column in the mail yesterday he said we should use him tactically like Ferguson did with scholes or city do with lamard

Without success might I perhaps better add.

He needs to be rested at times and certainly played further up the pitch when on

BR is playing him in a position that doesn't suit his style. Used sparingly, in his correct position, he can still play a part in our team. Agree with Herc (even though he left me standing alone, at dawn, pistol in hand, waiting for our duel), lack of respect towards Gerrard is shocking.
