I missed what Souness said s@int thank god.
What point was he trying to make? Steven Gerrard for me is utilised completely wrong by Benitez. He's better from the right than he is off the front man or even better still I think the way he was used against Everton is the way he should be used every week.
Yes he'd score less goals and get less assists but I still think he'd contribute alot moreto the side in that area, he'd get into the game more and have more of an impact on the way we play as a team andit gets every good point of his game out.
To be honest, I'd forgotten how good Gerrard was in that role till the Everton game its that long since I've seen it. The last performances I can remember like that were against Chelsea and United in games where he never scored (so was obviously ineffective).
He was saying that now we have goalscorers up front Gerrard can concentrate on his position in central midfield rather than having to keep deserting it to try and score the goals as well. While he will still get his share of goals playing his position properly. Or word to that effect.
