Once again i'm amazed at the amount of scrutiny the Captain is getting this season. For all the pretty keep ball we're playing this season, Gerrard is pretty much the only player in the side who plays a penetrating pass but suddenly everyone is obsessed with the 5 yard square pass so it doesn't really matter. For me, the Captain is having a pretty decent season so far and I think the career obituaries being bandied about by a few a VERY premature.
Nobody has become obsessed with the 5 yard pass.
Most have said Gerrard hasn't got the legs to get about the pitch like he did in his prime.
We'd be better served if he was playing, like under Rafa, in a more advanced role.
Given the playing staff available that would most likely be to the right of the front three.
Leaves him able to release the killer ball and arrive late in the box. To use a midfield three
like we do and have Gerrard in the front three would leave us with Sahin and Shelvey/Henderson
playing in front of the holding Allen/Lucas.
Nothing wrong with stating that. Others may have different opinions on the matter but for me
Gerrard is at his best when he is attacking for us. His and Liverpool's best seasons have been in
an attacking role
