Anyone would love to have Gerrard in their team


Ultimate compliment. My boy seems to have chosen well.

Any idea how much longer Gerrard will play? I'm thinking a trip to good ol' England is in order.

There are arguments that our attacking mindset leaves the defense sort of stranded. Brendan throws his fullbacks (outside defensive players) forward into attack, and many games Gerrard is left by himself as the only defensive midfield player. While Suarez and Sturridge's attacking prowess have nothing to do with how well out center backs play, allowing both fullbacks, Henderson, Allen, Sterling and Coutunho to attack does leave Gerrard on an island in the midfield. It's why we played so poorly against Aston Villa and Fulham. Brendan was basically playing a 4-1-4 with attacking fullbacks.

I'd go quick.

If I had to guess, this will be his last year as an automatic starter. With the World Cup this summer, he wont get much of a break, and while I suspect he'll start the majority of our games next year, he may be subbed off in a good number of them.
