Chewie Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 I've got this sneaky feeling - based on nothing more than a hunch - that this is going to be a partnership that will prove itself in the centre of the park....I really am dubious about Zenden but now that the chips are down and both will get a run of games I wouldn't be surprised if this coincides with us showing some good form and winning games (our fixture list will help this by the way)... anyway - nothing more than a hunch but almost precisley because its a partnership that no-one would have picked I reckon it'll work - both have something to prove in there and in a sense the expectation is off.... watch this space!

Guest BrianF Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 It's a nice balanced partnership and gives Gerrard more responsibility to be disciplined aswell as creative, as Zenden offers zilch in that respect. He does, however, keeps things ticking over, which is what you need in that position.
jon_hall Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 To be honest i think we're f***ed in the middle. Why oh why we let Didi go was beyond me in the summer never mind now.

Herbie von Smalls Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 he's injured at the moment anyway. wouldn't be much use to us right now
12twelve Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 Is it me or did Gerrard improve immensely once Alonso went off?

I was absolutely disappointed with the decision. You always need a few old heads and he still had 25 solid performances for us in him this season I thought.

Conor Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 I agree... I think they compliment each other fairly well.. On another note, I know this has been said on here before but Bolo seems to be a really good guy to have around the team. When Gonzalez and Pennant were injured he was right over to both of them and gave Speedy a tap on the arm as he was taken off.. I know he is hit and miss on the field but I think he has a Gary Mac presence about him around the club,
Foo Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 He's an ok player to have at the club, but in my eyes he is not Garymac material yet.
Falconhoof Posted November 24, 2006 Posted November 24, 2006 I saw very little in Zenden's performance against PSV or Arsenal to think he's going to step up his game.He's weak in the tackle, lacks pace, gets about one shot in 5 on target, can't cross, can't head the ball, too easily concedes posession. What are his strengths exactly ? He's all we have and we got him on a free but i'd be in the market for a new midfielder as soon as possible. In fact, get one of the young lads in instead. Does Zenden's contract run out at the end of this season ?

Phil236849 Posted November 24, 2006 Posted November 24, 2006 bolo played alright against psv i thought. generally ok on the ball, got around, and fantastic work for crouch's goal. sort of thing stevie g does gary mac he aint but he may be able to hold the fort til xabi's back

_00_deathscar Posted November 24, 2006 Posted November 24, 2006 What makes you say he's weak in the tackle then? Just because he doesn't go blood-and-thunder-100mph-all-guts-two-footed doesn't mean he's weak.
Guest BrianF Posted November 24, 2006 Posted November 24, 2006 Just tackling properly would be start and not going in half hearted, as that's how you get injured.
pinstriped Posted November 24, 2006 Posted November 24, 2006 He got injured trying to reach a too-short pass from Gonzalez.
