That definition is not how we use Gerrard at all.
Fair enough - it's on the internet so it must be official.
As cloggy says, that's absolutely not how we use(d) Gerrard.
Sounds like I'm just about on my own in liking that team.
I'd like to have seen Coutinho in the starting 11 and Henderson not anywhere near them but otherwise I'd be happy with that.
I guess Can is unlucky but I'd like to see him start alongside Lucas in a deeper role but don't think that is necessarily applicable against Bournemouth.
Happy to see Markovic starting.
Last season and the first part of this season he was certainly employed in a DM role but certainly not with the purpose of breaking up the play. He has to do some of that but that's not the purpose Rodgers had in mind when asking him to play there.
I'm more talking about having three at the back than anything else. The personnel are much of a muchness as far as I'm concerned. I'm concerned that Rodgers doesn't seem to have a plan for how to get us out of this mess, he's just trying X because Y isn't working.
He may be changing things behind the scenes, and if he is then great, but what he's said and from what we can see, he looks in over his head.
Ahhh, dont agree with that. He was in the engine room and required to do exactly that when we were off the ball - as a DM/HM. Regardless of what Rodgers had in mind.
But your sentiment goes a long way in terms of describing the deficiency in our defense. Because he certainly never did those things.
With all due respect....why?
In my opinion he's the best option. Never been fazed when asked to step up through the respective age groups and when he was asked, he contributed more than Allen, Can and Lucas altogether all season in 78 mins.
Ah well, it doesn't matter anyway now.
The fuck kind of line up is that?
It's like going to all out attack on fifa! Shit or bust tactics.
This better be a win for Rodgers sake or the criticism he'll get from journalists, pundits and fans alike will be brutal.
I think it's Cloggy that tends to make the point that Rodgers isn't really that interested in playing a DM and it seems to ring true. Rodgers sees Gerrard as someone who can orchestrate play rather than someone who will break it up.
I can't really identify with this idea that Gerrard has offered very little in the last 5 years to the point that I'm not quite sure where to begin with it. That's why I didn't address it in my last post. And to compare him to one of the worst midfielders we've ever had at the club in Diao is surely just needless sensationalism.
He has declined, as you say, and he needs to be managed better as a result.
Looks like your standard 3-3-3-1 formation:
--------------Jones----------------
-----Kolo---Skrtel---Lovren----
--------------Lucas----------------
Hendo-----------------Markovic
--Coutinho-Gerrard-Lallana--
---------------Sterling-------------
Actually no, it must be 3-4-3:
--------------Jones-----------------
-----Kolo---Skrtel---Lovren-----
--------------Lucas-----------------
Hendo----Gerrard----Markovic
---Coutinho------------Lallana--
---------------Sterling-------------
Either way, the left side of our defense looks like a giant liability. Markovic will leave space behind him and Lovren won't consider it his responsibility to cover it. Can Lucas fill all the holes?

That's what I've just said to my mate!
Bournemouth are in 'impressable form' according to that mouth on legs on sky.
Bellend.
