Wow ... This is why a healthy Lucas is key to the run in ... We will still be a very hard outfit to beat without Gerrard.
Hopefully he'll not get booked till the City game.
Nah, fuck that. Hopefully no bookings until he lifts the damn trophy.
Yup. That's why a deep squad with quality is vital.
Lucas can replace the covering Stevie's been doing but he's not on the same planet creatively. We'll have to rethink in a pretty big way if Stevie's out.
We'll see us playing a slighter flatter system in the middle, Allen Henderson & Lucas, with a bit less pushing forwards.
We've still got enough to beat teams, esp at Anfield.

We'll just have to play magnificently like we did against Spurs.
Yup, this. We'll not have SG's quarterback capabilities, but Lucas is more than able to provide a platform for the front 5 to work off. The Spurs match was easily our best away performance. Very happy with our options.
I'm afraid I switched that straight off when I saw not only Schmeichel but that shallow, motormouthed wide boy Jason Roberts on the panel. Don't know who the third guy is, but he looks a bit like the inbred banjo-player in "Deliverance". Chapman with what sounds like his permanently blocked nose doesn't help either.
I still think Gerrard is reasonably quick. Sure, he's lost pace, but he's still quicker than a lot of players.

he may not be as fast over the first 5 yards as he once was but once he gets going he's still got decent pace.
I'm guessing some people are basing this on the fact he's been conceding frees/pens and picking up yellow cards when sliding in on players who have got in behind him . There might be something in that although it's probably more to do with bad positioning .
It's funny , before the game i was thinking how well gerrard had been doing in this deeper position and how the criticism had gone quiet . But he was average yesterday and made a few mistakes you wouldn't expect a specialist in that position to make. But maybe we just have to accept that's the way it will be and hope the positive of him in there outweigh the negative .

Or perhaps it was due to the fact the team, as a whole, looked dosed up on enough sedatives to knock out a bull. The players in front of him were making Cardiff look like Kaka in Istanbul for that first half.
Stevie was average but he had an awful lot to do in the first half hour.

Why 2 games??
Thought yellows were wiped after a certain part of the season?

Schmeichel also said only Beckham and Rooney have scored from the halfway line so it shows his glasses are definitely tinted Manchester red. I can honestly say without bias he's one of the worst pundits on TV he's a mumbling boring clueless airbag. Any time he opens his mouth it's just meandering pointless drivel.
After the 2nd April the threshold is moved to 15 games to get the ban. We have a few games before that..
I think if Stevies out then you're looking at both Lucas and Coutinho replacing him collectively.
