I know the article was probably 99 rather than 2000 btw, was just giving Google a chance to redeem itself after an initial ridiculous response, and it got even worse.
Can’t even use Google without it being smart arsed and wrong now.
”There is no record of Tommy Smith saying in the year 2000 that Steven Gerrard should stay at right back; instead, the claim appears to be a misattribution, as the Liverpool legend Tommy Smith passed away in 1984, 16 years before the year in question. Tommy Smith was known for being a defender but played his entire career at right-back for Liverpool.”
I have a cousin, a red who knows his footie etc, who has always maintained that Salah is actually a s*** footballer.
It’s a ridiculous and bizarre point of view, of course, but he’s always sending me examples of those bad touches.
They played him left wing of a four man midfield, tracking back to protect the left back and all that. While that may have seemed to be his role in a Liverpool 442, he was really more of a forward for us.
