Gerro

Sorry, I had to use Gerro to get your attention

 

 

Anyway, he's not bad playing in Fernando's hole the hole these days is he? Doesn't look as pretty as the likes of Kaka but he's becoming quite effective there and certainly playing with more guile. The pass to Torres to put him in against Cech on Tuesday was quality.

You should be shot with the Rick Rollers for that headline.

It's the position i prefer to see him playing in. He had an in and out game on Tuesday but was still instrumental in everything good we did. His pass to Torres would have been finished with ease normally. Plus his shot at the dept which Cech saved was a beauty.

Cm. Coming from a deeper position. oo er

 

That doesn't mean i think he's not suited where he is mind

[RP]

I've always thought that it's his best position.

same here, I don't thin he can be the support striker in a 4-4-2 formation, but in the current formation, and helped by the pace and the clever runs by torres he seems to be playing his best football for a while

[D.Boon]

I think he would be better out right. But with the present squad he is the best player for the hole.

 

Until we sign Kaka

By right do you mean Kuyt's current position?

Yes

Yes

 

Not sure he will be involved enough in the game and he won't keep the shape of side as well as Kuyt does

I think Gerrard is largely playing well in that position because of the likes of Babel and in particular Torres. Whenever he'd played there in the past he'd looked lost and frustrated playing most of the game with his back to goal. Now with the pace we have going forward on the counter, defences have to drop off to compensate for the likes of Babel and Torres, this opens a big gap between the opposition's defence and midfield, which gives Gerrard the chance to surge forward in support. It's a fantastic sight. But if you put Gerrard in behind someone like Crouch or Kuyt, who primarily turn and face away from goal and offer no threat in behind, he wouldn't be anywhere near as effective because the opposition could keep compressed and compact between defence and midfield.
