KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Steven Gerrards best position

Gerrard's best position is attacking midfield. A close second is RM.

As we all know an on form Stevie can play anywhere but as usual at LFC it's where does he need to play to best serve the team, undoubtably we need him in the center of midfield at present. I would have Miereles beside him and Lucas to keep doing what he is doing at the moment, Forget Cole as it is not happening for him out wide and I doubt he will be fit for Chelsea anyway. Maxi is starting to perform and look threatening going forward and Ngogg should play alongside Torres. Keep the rest the same as it is very slowly coming together.

CM or CAM, those are our best formations

That's my hodgson formation

Beauty of Stevie is he can shine in whatever position he plays. Would like to see Cole be given the free role behind Torres rather than be pushed out on the left side. Not using him properly. No question we need width and/or pace in the side.

As for cole, he shouldn't be hanging round the 18yard box as if he's the alonso type to pick a pass out. His job is to get beyond the full back so we can get passes into his feet or a delicate chip over the defence. I'm sick of players dropping behind the ball to get touches of it. We need to get beyond the ball in dangerous positions

them stats don't take into account that he was playing in a team that was near perfect. In reina, carragher, alonso, mascherano, gerrard and torres we had one of if not the best spine of a team in the world so in that team gerrard was best used higher up the pitch however, just looking at gerrard he is better as a CM where he can dictate the game and be involved all the time and dominate teams witch is why he should be dropped deeper and we should bring in pacheco behind torres

Given Torres' tendency to drift left or right to take on defenders, both the RM and LM must be smart enough to notice that and get their ars.es into the damn box. It is pure frustration when Torres skips past the first man, looks up and only sees Gerrard trying to make up ground to get to the cross. And all this time, the two CMs and wingers stand and applaud our star striker and his skill, never once thinking that they should be at the end of that move.

Like i have said countless time, if you can play the game with half a brain, you can be quite a decent player. Messi, who is 5 feet tall, gets his head to crosses. That is quite something else in today's game. We dont even have to go that far - Tim Cahill, whose timing and intelligence means he is often at the right place to score.

disagree with you again, if gerrard was good enough to play with alonso in centre mid we wouldn't of had to buy sissoko the following season and then mascherano the following season!

Gerrard couldn't dictate the play in centre mid that's why alonso was preferred alongside a ball winning defensive midfielder. Alonso was the master at it and gerrard was to much of a liability alongside him

And now you want to put pacheco in! He's good don't get me wrong but the reserve league and u19 championships is nothing compared to the prem. He'd struggle at the moment in a team struggling to finds a good performance

it was rafa's team gerrard was just too attacking for him as a CM, gerrard scored loads of goals playing RM in rafa's team do you think he is a better at RM then at CM ... oh and i don't think pacheco would struggle in his natural position behind torres it would take a couple of games but he be very good after 2/3 games and would be one of our best players by the end of the season
