Agree, no offence here, when Gerrard play, all of them seems to became less creative, they doesn't unleash their creativeness, instead they keep on pass to Gerrard to make the move.
When Gerrard injured, we can look at both Allen and Hendo leading some creative move by themselves.

Yea Gerrard is slowing the game down.. plus why is he paying DM not Lucas? All the top team win ugly struggle abit to play freely but defensively so good.. Liverpool needs to learn this..

To accomodate gerrard, we have to play two dm. If gerrard the only dm, sure we will leaking goal like no tomorrow. The problem is gerrard doesnt provide run like hendo or allen does..his passing nowday now become worst..
