When Gerrard scored his most goals ever in a season, despite what Benitez saying about them coming from the right, he scored more than half bursting forward from central midfield. I don't think dropping him deeper would upset his goal return much.
[/quote]

it definately would as you have to be more disiplined in the center of midfield.
the evidence is there, gh played gerrard at CM and only when he was moved further up the pitch did his goal return explode.
[/quote]Gerrard was a dm for most of the frenchman's reign.

Didi Hamann?

No he wasn't

That was back before "box to box midfielders ceased to exist".

For the most part, yeah.

Nobody's bothered to try and argue it I see.

 

[darkstarexodus]

And I'm not arguing with you either. Just hoping to bait an entertaining tussle.

 

[Ryan]

Don't worry DSE. I'm sure you, like everyone else, had no idea about this singificant evolution of football formations until I educated you on it anyway.

 

[darkstarexodus]

I have a hard time understanding tactical discussions without an actual chalkboard illustration.

(In this particular case I was well aware of the development. You can insert a generic Lucas joke here if you'd like. I actually don't have enough venom against him to bother.)

Three years then. He hasn't looked like a quality second striker for three years. [/quote]

are you serious? gerrard has not been more prolific in his entire CAREER than when played behind the out and out striker.
[/quote]

He's scored 26 playing right midfield.

LFC would be best served by SG playing in Lucas's position and that should be clear to anyone who has watched us over the last 10 years.
