England role frustrates Gerrard

You know what frustrates me? A mediocre technically **** player hyped up beyond belief showing England is a relatively minor thing to him and complaining about not getting his favourite position when he's been piss poor most of his England career.

Been saying it for years TBH. Most overated player (apart from Rooney maybe) in the Premiership.

It's funny how he's lobbying to get the kind of partner he wants. Pathetic.

Gerrard should probably STFU but I am very doubtful there is a better English central midfielder, as such, yeah, play him in centre mid

 

[GIMH]

Masters finals tonight, all my mates are there and all I can hear is Tranmere songs! Good lads, all pissed off their heads no doubt as I heard they were meeting in "The Brom" at 1. A bit jealous but I think I'll save my pennies for proper games!

Stick Joe Cole there with Barry.

 

[GIMH]

Prefer Joe Cole out wide though. Would be interesting to see how that went, mind.

 

[roseboy64]

TBF that is where he's best for Liverpool.

 

[roseboy64]

As I see it Englan's best XI is probably this:

James

Johnson Ferdinand Terry Cole

Hargreaves Carrick

Gerrard

Rooney Cole

Owen

With Gerrard, Cole and Rooney interchanging.

Joe Cole doesn't stay out wide and there's no point playing him there.

You want him getting in the box or in other attacking areas - that's where he scores goals and creates things, rarely is it from out wide. There's nothing about the guy that says 'wide player'.

Except that he's played out there by pretty much every manager.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Yep and everytime he ends up coming infield as much as possible and pretty much ignoring where he's supposed to play.

 

[roseboy64]

As long as he stay out wide at least 50% of the time and gets crosses in that's not a problem.

 

[Scaly piscine]

He hardly ever gets crosses in, on the rare occasion he's out wide he cuts inside where 3-4 defenders are waiting.

 

[GIMH]

1-0 to Rangers, come on whites...

 

[GIMH]

Whites level, the masters side is better than the shower that went down to Oldham yesterday

 

[GIMH]

Barlow misses a one on one, some things never change

 

[GIMH]

Argh penalties...LOL!

 

[GIMH]

Achterberg makes the save, score and we're through!
