deserves a stupid answer.
Gerrard doesn't have to play the holding role at all. Stop talking garbage. You don't need a holding midfielder. Its bull. Man Utd, when they won the treble didn't have one. In a 4-4-2 you need two centre mids who can mix it, one better defensively (Gerrard, Keane) and one who's creative but can do there bit (Scholes)... this is what we lack.
Diamonds and complicating things gets you into a mess. Doing it simple and having a flat 4-4-2 with wingers, fullbacks, centre backs, centre mids and strikers is the best way to go.
All this sweeper, anchor man, deep forward, inside right, attacking fullback nonsense is garbage. In this country every club plays a 4-4-2 from kids to adult level so there fore they all know how to play in that system.

If he's to play in the centre, that would involve Gerrard playing the holding role, as Murphy is not a great tackler. So we would go from a team driven by Gerrard, to one driven by Danny Murphy.
But he has a good eye for goal, is technically very good, and is a good squad player, capable of filling in, and doing a job. Our Ray Parlour.
I think it's more of a confidence thing more than anything else.
do you agree.
