Gerrard shouldn't be playing centre-mid. Stevie is a phenom, but stick up to support the striker. His positioning is not good enough for the centre. He roams all over the place and Spearing, while okay, is no Lucas.
I do agree re: the blueprint. Where are we going? At the back end of last season, we were playing some great football, winning and we looked class. Then we bought (British) players and fell to pieces. None of them fit at all how we were playing last season. Suarez, Maxi, Raul and Kuyt.. nothing like Carroll, Adam, Downing.
Kenny brought the club together, but if he hadn't been appointed full time, it would've been hell for any manager who followed him. People would be asking for Kenny back after one loss.
Don't think Rafa can come back, as much as I'd have him back in a heartbeat. Too soon for many people- don't forget many people hated him before he left.
Players not giving a f**k annoys me. Regardless of where we are in the League, should always play to win and have some pride and fight in that shirt. And yeah, I hope Kenny rips into them in private.
If we buy players, can we please not buy third rate british players.
