Greenlizard0 Weekend Football Thread ** spoilers ** [18th - 21st January 2014]

We need to take Gerrard out of the team or move him to a less vital position. It's so obvious we work much better when the younger players joins together in midfield and works hard. He's more more of a hindrance now as he completely messes up the balance and makes Henderson's head drop when they're both on the pitch.
 
Gerrard and Henderson in midfield? Turned out as well as I thought. It's actually frightening to think Rodgers thought it could work :o

The only way you play Gerrard as a deep lying playmaker is in a 3 man midfield when you've got 2 people cover him. To play him there with Henderson is plain stupidity - Henderson has no idea how to play as a CM as part of a 2. And to do it against a team that you know will press you in midfield and look to break on you? You need your head tested.

One of Coutinho or Sterling need to come off for Lucas or Allen if we're to stand a chance.
 
You cannot have Sturridge,Sterling,Suarez and Coutinho in the team, the balance is just wrong.

Sterling or Coutinho and toure must be changed.

Allen is on bench not playing??? Jesus christ
 
Like when Chelsea tore us apart in midfield. To be honest I want Allen back over anyone, despite his finishing he was very very good

Gerrard is 1 vs 3,he hasn't a hope, Hendo isn't playing cm and you can't leave one guy at 33 back there especially when there are three people on him instantly.

Kolo has been fairly bad since injury, Glen is terrible since start of 2013, and Cissokho is well....
Kelly isn't a good replacement, when I watched us against Cardiff and Kelly came on he was horrendous. I hope Flanno picks up from where he left off

Yes but here is difference Kelly has barely played so he might not be fully fit in his first game but he won't be as bad as Johnson is being right now. Cissokho I agree is terrible rather of given Robinson a chance lol
 
4-2-4 is nonsense without two rock solid DMs. We have one and he's on the bench.

Coutinho is going through a bad spell going forward and is offering no protection for Cissokho who's about as reliable as the Iraqi information minister.

Gerrard couldn't control a remote controlled brick and gives it away when we have too many people committed forward. This position does not suit his style of play and if it's a case of play him there or not play him at all it's an easy decision.

We're very fortunate to not be 4-1 down and Rodgers needs serious words with himself at halftime. If he fears a backlash by not dropping Gerrard he won't succeed at Liverpool. If Gerrard has it written in to his contract that he has to play every minute of every game, like I believe he has, then Liverpool doesn't mean as much to him as individual honours do. Either way, we played better while he was out and I welcome him being out through retirement sooner rather than later.
 
Good to see it's everyone but Gerrard still baz

Good to see you can't read.

I've clearly said Gerrard can't play as a deep lying midfielder as part of a 2. Some people fail to see that Henderson can't play as a midfielder either. Gerrard failed to stop Villa's attacks but at least he was there, Henderson was somewhere on the half way line looking back.

I know it's fashionable to just blame Gerrard but open your eyes a bit to Henderson's clear limitations as a midfielder.
