It looked severely limited from the outside but I’m sure with all people around the first team we must have had a plan for each individual game, especially at the start of a match. Initially when he came it was to push the fullbacks on and drop a couple of midfielders back to cover. Get endless crosses in. At times it worked but was ultimately flawed. In game tactics were the biggest issue though as there just didn’t seem to be any. Go a goal down or needing to score for a win or close a game down for a result. He looked lost here. No impact changes at all during games. Whether it be a change in formation or personnel. Very disappointing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defend deep. Bypass the midfield. Get in the final third. Headline makers win the game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Steve Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 Gerrard had a real myopia about the evident midfield problems because as a player he never had such problems. He had his head in the clouds and persisted because that is what his personality dictates, not tactical nor a desire to benefit the lads. He made it worse by crapping on the players which only knocked their confidence further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
