Gerrard on the right - is this now impossible?

Molby · January 20, 2009

look at the players we picked last night - lots of great players...that's the first thing we reacted to when we heard the team

then, worry set in - surely not Carra RB and Kuyt RM - the slowest bluntest right side imaginable and Kuyt has proven innefective at RM in a 4-4-2 time and time again

lets say Rafa didn't want to play Babel at wide right 'cos he doesn't trust him, and he wanted Kuyt on the pitch as always

that only left one option and that was Stevie G on the right and Kuyt up with Torres, with Masch in the middle and Keane on the bench

what would have happened, had we played that formation?

more pace, penetration, crosses from the right, more threat up front as Kuyt would have helped Torres so much more

what would we have lost in the middle? we would have been fine with Masch, would have at least won more tackles

anyone who has ever watched us would surely agree that the right side was an accident waiting to happen. Gerrard was a proven success at RM in 2006, so what is the problem?
