Anyone agree with Hobo Lawrenson (scrap the beard you tramp) that Pool better without Gerrard or a combination of good performance and the White Heart Lane Day Dream Believers being hilariously shit as usual?
gerrard has been a bit leggy in some of the games I've watched.
It's hard to say.
Although we look more energetic and mobile, it was noticeable that our set pieces and corners were far worse without Gerrard.
We have scored a lot this season from a Gerrard assist.
In someways it would be easier if Gerard's performance levels would just drop straight off a cliff. Forces an end to the dilemma.
Today shows that we get so much more out of Henderson when he's running the midfield instead of shifted to cover the right wing. Henderson is not a winger or inside forward. It's a question of whether that Gerrard trade off is worth it.
I would rather see Gerrard used as an impact player, or moved further up the pitch and told just to give 100% attacking for 60mins instead of holding back to last 90mins. If we buy a winger this January, I can see him starting instead of Henderson, and Henderson coming on at 60 after Gerrard is knocked.
