He has also realised that he can't sprint up and down the wing like he used to, and now he knows how to play to his strengths because he can send a pass from anywhere.
Exactly. He has changed his game to maximise his strengths and minimise his weaknesses.
He will never lose his ability to make a long pass, "whip" in a cross, or hit a free kick. So that's what he does now.
Obviously he will one day, but you get my point.
so what position would you have him in....centre midfield? Who with, Lampard/Gerrard/Cole?
I wouldn't play Lampard at all. I think he's pish without Makalele.
I would always play Gerrard, quality committed footballer.
You can play Beckham on the right of mid-field, with a good fast full back to do the running down the wing thing.
I think the same of Cole, tries to do tricks and misses te basics.
Gerards got the English bulldog in him, and i'd be scaed playing him as he always looks angry. Quality player.
Gerrard's got the lot really. He is ubber skilful, gets other people playing via the gift of shouting at them, tons of bottle and would run thro' a brick wall for his team.
The only question is his temperament sometimes, rash tackles and so forth, but he's growing up now. Bit of a Beckham situation actually.
how old is he now?
As opposed to "how old was he last Tuesday?"Quote:
