Yes, we all know the numbers, We all know the reason. But over riding the theory by miles is the weakness of a tactic which says, although SG is our best player, although he is our most inventive pbuttser, although he can get goals from the centre, although he himself is no mug at scoring from crosses ,although the best position for our best player is without doubt in mid field. the need to fill the wing comes first?
Cobblers! A team with forwards who can't score, so play the leading goalscorer wide? Yes, he can cross a ball, and a lot of good that has is right now. Don't have to be a tactical genius to think maybe he would be better off on the receiving end. He fills the wide roll better than the options, nobody would dispute that, but the cost is far too high.
Last night they beat a pathetic side, but only just. It should have been all over before half time but came close to dropping 2 easily deserved points or even 3.
The team is not gifted with players who can make short killing through pbuttes, the sort that Fowler thrives on. SG can.
The team sheet should be SG central ( even if he takes on the tracking back duties on the right) with the rest fitted in.
How many time will we hear the commentators say, "Gerrard can be so dangerous when he comes infield"?
Damn right he can. So play him there.
