If I want to criticise him i'll criticise him, I'm not one of the brigade that thinks his sh1t is ice cream. Himself and Garcia were ineffective. The greatest players play rubbish at times, and Gerrard had a stinker last night. I've watched him closely in every game this season, and he has been distinctly average for the most part. The only game where he looked like a £30m player to me was Villa away. Now it's either his head is elsewhere because he intends to leave in the summer, maybe his head is done in because he doesn't know what he wants to do. Or else he is having personal problems. Something isn't right because he is playing way below his level all season, his body language is terrible as well. I'd say he hasn't smiled since 2003.
Don't think for one second either that I won't be behing the team and Gerrard 110% on Tuesday night. Just because I criticise a player in my analysis of a game doesn't change my ability to get behind the team
