i really cant beleive you have written this without thinking it through.
ok so when gerrard strays into the centre, what happens?
ok i will tell you, finnan is left exposed. if gerrard drifts into the centre then that should tell you something, that is where he is most comfortable, that is where he is at his best for himself and the team
Peewee, do you actually believe that Rafa is tactically that poor that he would allow Gerrard to drift from the right into the centre without someone covering ?
When Gerrard drifts into the centre usually Alonso or Sissoko take up a deeper position covering the right hand side of our defence and Finnan.
When Gerrard played on the right do you remember Finnan constantly being exposed ?
I dont.
yes, finnan was criticised earlier in the season on here in fact, for his poor play at the start of the season, it was then pointed out that he was constantly being exposed by gerrard wandering.
and while we are talking about benitez being tactically poor, i will just come back at you with his poor rotation at the start of the seaon costing us any chance of the title this season, just as it did last season. rafa does make mistakes. hamman champions league, 451, etc
i could go on but its all opinions mate, i have mine and you have yours
I know he has made mistakes with over rotation at the start of the season and does sometimes during matches, but with regards to Gerrard on the right i dont think it exposes Finnan at all, last season Finnan was fantastic and there were plenty of supporters that were saying that it was because of having Gerrard playing in front of him.
I am not saying he should always play on the right but it is an option and allows us to field Alonso and Sissoko at the same time without changing the system.
