I think most of the people here just picks on Gerrard and make the most out of his mistake on passes .. he did made a few long cross forward giving the ball to Sterling .. I watched the full 94 minutes so I know. Don't expect 100% passing accuracy when you try to make an ambitious pass to your team mates ..
Yeah i know, he got a lot of criticism because we all know he is better than that. Mediocre performance does not justify the actual Steven Gerrard. We are just concerned that he might not be able to fit into the team. Sure he make good passes forward, but that is what he does. It's his talent and ability and its his job. But the fact is that, when he tries to make those passes and it does not happen as much as it used to, it causes more harm than good to the team. How many times that his mistake leads to actual goal against us. Not just this season mind you. Even when he was at his prime, he did that very often but fortunately back then he was able to undo his mistake by creating or scoring at the other end. Sadly to say, now he does not posses the ability to do that anymore and at times i question his hunger. The team lacks spirit at the moment and Gerrard as the captain is not providing it to the youngsters, not like how he used to anyway. Gerrard is my inspiration, i've been following him since his teenage years, so yeah maybe im a bit harsh towards him but mainly because I scrutinize his performance every single game. Wow..I sound like a stalker

I want him to play for a long2 time for liverpool just like Lampard for Chelski and Scholes, Giggs for Manure. Lol, i dont usually call names when addressing the opposition teams but i got a bit riled up. Anyway, that's what i think.

The thing is most of us here have seen him play for the past decade or so and he has seen him struggled as CM. He hasn't cut it at both domestic and international level, so there's a strong doubt over his ability to reinvent himself. He had always been a battering ram type of midfielder so it's a bit strange to see him struggling to maintain a certain tactical discipline in central midfield. Yesterday was one of his better game playing as a CM but you have to admit he didn't look quite comfortable playing that deep. His positioning was dubious at times and i didn't think he quite clicked with Allen. Like i said before, there were times Gerrard strayed into Allen's position to a point where they could had been holding hands. Allen didn't have the best of game yesterday by his own standard, and imo Gerrard played a role in that.
Yup. with you on that. Allen did at times had to recover several grounds that gerrard left unattended. We need Lucas if we wanna do that. Gerrard seems more lika a liability at the moment.
