Today he played smart, passed the ball early avoiding having to resist tackles when he had the ball, and just made the tackles he needed to make when they had the ball.
I think he was helped by having good runners to left and right creating space for him as well.
dirty bitter bastards. did yeah see them when gerrard was about to take the corner, singing that song about his wife and kids. shocking. and then when the next corner came and someone else went to take it (cant remember who) they sang "shit house, shit house". really got me that. bitter cunts.
he deserved most the applauds for that game i thought gerrard had a brilliant mature game.
