Correct.
Rafa would have to be a fool to move Gerrard out of the middle at the moment.
The reason the team is so fluent going forward at the moment is that there are so many options. When you have attacking players on the flanks plus Gerrard breaking from the centre we look a better side overall.
Playing Alonso and Mascherano together would be daft imo. Neither like breaking forward, both would sit deep and it would invite unnecessary pressure. Gerrard's link-play with Torres is flourishing - why tinker with that by putting Gerrard wide now?
I can't believe we are playing our best attacking football in ages and people reckon we should move Gerrard back out to the right??
I was in favour of that a few seasons ago when Alonso and Sissoko were playing well and we didn't have a decent right-mid, but not now.
If we stick to the spine of Reina-Carra-Gerrard-Torres down the centre of the team for the vast majority of games and rotate players around them, we'll take some stopping.
