To be honest I forgot he was playing in the second half for a while, all our good play seemed to be coming down the flank from Johnson and Sterling.
Is this deliberately ironic?
You forgot Gerrard was playing cause all our good play was coming down the Johnson / Sterling flank? Yet you didn't notice that Gerrard was playing about 50% of the passes that set those good plays in motion?
The problem with Gerrard is a confusing mix;
He's not playing at the top of his game at the moment and he's not controlling games the way we know he can. On the flip side, unless Gerrard is thundering forward and unleashing thunderbolts from 30 yards into the top corner then our fans are going to complaing that he's turned to rubbish and should be dropped.
He's set such an incredibly high standard in the top 1% of epl players - being just one of the top 15% of players is now, apparently, just unacceptable. He's now paying the price for being too good for too many years.
