Pena Holt Docherty to name three. Nothing wrong with Holt or Docherty Clearly they aren't ever going to be anywhere near the standard Gerrard was but only a complete lunatic would ever expect that to be the case jintybear 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaudrupsPatrickBoots 13,510 Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 If Gerrard was still capable of playing then he would be. He's finished as a player and a few video clips of him hitting dead balls with the F2 on YouTube or playing the odd long range pass in a training session with us won't change that. Ridiculous suggestion. ForeverAndEver 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don’t play in the first team you’re a reserve are you not? Seeing as there’s no actual reserves anymore. Will be a mix but Kelly and Dallas will definitely get minutes.

That's the team that Kelly and Dallas play for every week. We have a pretty large first team squad and it's not that much of a stretch to get two teams out of them without needing to use (m)any youngsters. McGregor - Foderingham Tavernier - Flanagan Goldson - McAuley Worrall - Katic Halliday - Wallace Jack - McCrorie Arfield - Coulibaly Davis - Rossiter Candeias - Middleton Kent - Lafferty Morelos - Defoe Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although, tbf, you must not have seen much of Gerrard playing for LA Galaxy. He was fucking woeful and wouldn't have looked out of place in our team in recent seasons. Yup. You’ve made my exact point. Even retired for 3 years and well past his best he will be better than the aforementioned. Whole point was the standard of shite we have been subject to still won’t be able to lace Gerrards boots. Thankfully we are in the process of ridding the useless wasters 👍🏼 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think one of the finest players of his generation would've come and played in the second-tier of Scottish football? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's something in the back of my mind that a local referee is supposed to go at the earliest opportunity if there is any concerns and make an early call before allowing the match ref to make the final decision.

hammer time 653 Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Wonder if that will mean a stronger lineup for the Helsinki game so the bigger players can some match time before the league matches restart ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
