He got slaughtered in post match phone ins last night. I think it is a little too early to write him off. He's just played against the Champions, in the second game of the season, and we do have a very strong midfield. I think Liverpool fans should hold fire until he gets bossed around by the likes of the Rags etc.superseiyan said:Marvin said:Gerrard looked well off the pace. I think they should have replaced him in the Summer, but they daren't for sentimental reasons.
Why are people ruled by fear? All our coaching staff have to do is quitely give him the eldery statesman role. If Scholes and Lampard can spend the latter years of their careers on the bench at the Rags and Chelsea, then why can't Gerrard be benched?
Haha!stony said:At least we know what Brendans username is on RAWK

I LOVE Brendan Rodgers SOO MUCH
HUMBLE, HUMAN, CLASS, HES SO MUCH DIFFERENT TO ANY OTHER TOP TEAM MANAGERS..
Sorry caps, but seriously, Brendan has done excellent!
He's such a great role model for being HUMAN. Love it.
He can, but for so long he has been integral to LFC. They need another midfielder, not necessarily one who plays exactly the same role, and perhaps if he was dropped someone else would find it easier to take on the mantle.superseiyan said:Marvin said:Gerrard looked well off the pace.

supercity88 said:Gerrard is completely shot. He was absolutely toss for England and Pirlo taught him a footballing lesson. Pirlo and Scholes could put the ball on a 50p piece from 50 yards. Gerrard might do that once in every 5 attempts. He can't do the same job. He was all about direct play and quick attacking movement, now his legs have gone so has he. Last season was it, and he fell away in the last few weeks.
Hmmm... hasn't quite gone to plan for the, has it?mad4city said:God, they've got a horn on for us over at RAWK.
Apparently, we'll have to content ourselves with a maximum of one point from our first two games because Newcastle and their lot are so much fitter than us.

Last season it was tempting to defend deep against LFC to nullify Sterling and Sturridge but not many did it as it would leave Suarez the master dribbler on the edge of your box. Now teams can do it without fearPrestwich_Blue said:They relied on Suarez for a lot of the creativity when they were going forward and that midfield trio isn't going to replace that. Mario is the great hope but as good as he can be, Mario is no Suarez. Also both us and Southampton clearly showed we'd sussed out how to play them. They got no room behind the back four last night, whereas they did in the two games last season. Other teams will have worked that out as well and without Suarez to drag the defenders all over the place they might well struggle to create as many chances. I was impressed with Mark over and think he'll cause some problems. He and Moreno caused havoc down our right until Navas came on and nullified the threat.

I suspect LFC will be top 6 but face a struggle to get 4th. Depends on how teams like Spurs, and Everton do. And as you say Mario. This is Mario's last chance. He should be super-motivated but no one knows with him.
