Post match relief

Like I said a million times before, Gerrard will be much more effective further up the pitch. Yes, he probably can't can't do it every game for 90 minutes. But it's quite clear he can't play the DM role either. So surely it makes sense to rest him for half an hour every game, and give him a more attacking role?

 

[nealmac]

Oh and give him a full 90 against the Mancs and the Blueshite

have we got anyone thats good enough in the defensive holding role though? maybe lucas will start to excel there again if given the chance, think its our best chance, i still dont see brenden doing it though

Stop, no Lucas for the love of Jehova.

he's better than gerrard there though, at least defensively anyway, the problem is when they both play deep they both look shite, or when brenden has a brain shart and puts lucas in the attacking mid position

 

[nealmac]

I agree with Lewy. Lucas is definitely better defensively. He's far from ideal and the "silly fouls" thread would be back in full flow but fuck me, watching Gerrard back in his old role on Saturday was fantastic.

We could try Can or Allen there.

If neither works out, we should look for one in January. There are plenty of options - the Bender twins, Kramer, Witsel, Nainggolan, Wanyama etc.

A proper DM like that would do wonders for our defence as well.

yeah i agree we should get one, i just think that lucas is probably our best option their at the moment, if he can get somehwere near his previous form
