The way i see around this problem lies in the manager making a desicion for the good of the team and not to curry favour with any individual irrespective of who that may be, the Alonso, Gerrard midfield partnership worked a treat because they knew each others games and played together consistently for 4 seasons at least, since Xabi left our midfield has struggled to create that dynamism, so much so that its unlikely we will see the influencial play that was created, for me Gerrard has to be in midfield with at the moment Meireles, we have players like Cole, Pacheco. Kuyt, Shelvey all capable of filling the role Gerrard played with Alonso in the side, personaly out of those 4 i would have Shelvey, he is not only quick on his feet but in his mind, he can pass shoot score defend from the front, link up play and basically terrorise defences, backed up with Gerrard pinging passes and generally beefing up the midfield and of course his charging forward in to space we would have a pretty frightening pairing, with Torres at his best its hard not to see success coming from this, add Turan and Amoo on the flanks, certainly has me licking my lips, for this to have a realistic chance of happening is remote but we can all dream, Kelly at RB, Agger and Skirt at the back and a new top quality LB, Pepe of course between the sticks and a manager that knows what he is doing orchestrating from the touchline, dont know about you guys but i'm loving it already.........AWWWW f***in BOLLOCKS it is only a dream!!!!!
