League is priority, we need a settled back 5, Gerrard needs to end this CB rotation. Davis shouldn't be starting either. It's not going to happen but. Manager has been rotating CBS since he started. Season 1 it was Goldson, Katic and Worrall. Season 2 it was Goldson Katic and Helander. Season 3 it was Goldson Helander and Balogun. He's not going to change. Definitely agree on Davis should be on the bench today. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GersInCanada 7,775 Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 Pleased to see that Alfredo has made the bench. His injury must not have been as bad as made out. Surely the starting XI are good enough to see off Motherwell. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

At his age either the level of intensity has to drop or his body will breakdown. There already seems to be a lack of intensity in the last few games and a lack of pressing from midfield. We need to stick with the same defenders and rotate more in the midfield. Ideally avoiding overusing players where we need to be encouraging a high pressing game. We'll win today but it might not be good to watch again. HG5 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise, he’s done well to repair his reputation after Malmö & I’d say deserves the chance to follow up on this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

steven33jackie 1,917 Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 Time for the fringe players to make a mark and push for a start every game. Honestly thought Davis might of had a seat on the bench for this one. Looked out of sorts midweek perhaps could do with a rest. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davis plays every game because he's better than the players who come into the position Davis/Kamara and a 3rd player is what it'll always be unless somebody like Arfield, Kelly, Bacuna etc make a play for 1 of the positions Davis is a 36 year old who still walks into that midfield, says more about the rest of the players than it does about Gerrard continuing to pick him BookWorm and HG5 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

peter huistra 1,740 Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 Wright and Roofe to both get doubles 4-1 . Lundstram should have started I think, with this in and out the team pish he will never settle, didn't Gerrard say he was our best midfielder the other night , then leaves him out the day .

bluenoz 30,680 Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 Gerrard always talks about how Benitez gave him his chance. Kelly & Patterson can't even make the bench anymore.

Kent/Morelos out & after playing on Thursday night, we need everybody in we can get Davis likely needs a break but right now there is nobody who I'd trust to put in before him aside from Kamara. We either need a fit Ryan Jack back or we need somebody else to step up in the next few weeks Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ofc he can't, however that could arguably come down to gross mismanagement from Gerrard and Co. Arguably our weakest strengths is midfield yet its the one position we spend the least on shoe hor I g players into playing roles they aren't used to playing. A good manager shoe horns players in and expects them to perform whereas a great manager adapts the system to suit the players he has available shaka 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
