that. I didn't want the players to "kowtow" to Carra or Gerrard all the time.
Masch is defo developing into a leader on the pitch.
The more the merrier.

The team is maturing with success (as pressure actually starts to decrease with each game as confidence rises, rather than the expected increase in pressure over time to extend the run) with senior players creating higher levels of expectations amongst themselves and others. THATS how championships are won so every week this run extends going forward the benefit gained will increase expotentially as the risk of failure decreases as we secure an anticipated 4th place, passing to 3rd place then we suddenly find ourselves in the 1st place run off with confidence hitting a peak. Arsenal imploded because they didnt believe they could go all the way and win, ManUtd have the confidence and could see the pressure and doubts increasing within the Arsenal camp as they got into full stride themselves with 8-10 games to go. Maturity = Confidence = Success.

It seems to be working well with the players we have at the moment and is allowing us to slightly overachieve IMO.

If push came to shove, which of the two would you have as Captain? I only ask because as fantastic as Gerrard is, I've advocated Carragher to be Captain for a long time now.
I still don't think that Gerrard is a natural leader as he merely inspires the team through his own performances. Steven Gerrard would always get stuck in and be an inspiration whether he was the captain or the tea lady because that is his way.

Our lads know exactly what is required to win big trophies however only now has the league gam plan started to bear fruit. I wouldnt be surprised if we are still up there after christmas to see the Reds quietly drop out of the CL to focus on the league.

A leader needs to think, communicate and motivate rather than do all the work of his sub-ordinates. Look at other jobs and you'll spot a good leader because he will delegate certain tasks to others whilst thinking strategically. He will also be an excellent communicator. I think Carragher fits more in to this category than Gerrard.
